Need for improved data visibility and strategy
Ancestry, the world's largest for-profit genealogy company, sought to transition from third-party data reliance to a first-party data strategy. Facing growth challenges in their US paid search program for Family History subscriptions and DNA kits, Ancestry needed a comprehensive solution to enhance customer acquisition and marketing efficiency. With a mature but stalling marketing setup, the need for improved data visibility and an effective measurement strategy became crucial.

The aim was to develop a unified approach to customer measurement that would replace last-click attribution with a multi-touch attribution model.

Action
Deploying UCM and pCV models

Developed Unified Customer Measurement (UCM)

Implemented Predicted Click Value (pCV) model

Conducted A/B tests with new bidding strategy
Bonsai collaborated with Ancestry to develop Unified Customer Measurement (UCM), introducing a custom multi-touch attribution framework that utilizes first-party data for detailed insights into marketing impact. They implemented the Predicted Click Value (pCV) model to enhance Ancestry's Google Ads performance. This proprietary model retrains Google Smart Bidding using the insights from UCM, rather than relying on traditional conversion tracking. Bonsai conducted A/B tests with the new bidding model, ensuring that the refined approach led to acquiring high-value customers with better lifetime value, who showed stronger purchase intent and longer retention.
