The interview
What was your experience with advertising before working with Berk Labs?
We had tried some other advertisers. We've done advertising on Facebook and a little bit on Google, it never really panned out. We never got the success or even remotely close to what we were looking for. We'd been burned in the past, spent more than we've gotten in return.
What were your initial impressions of Joshua Berk?
I saw Joshua's name there but, I looked at the price that he had and right away, I skipped over it. Then Justina, the owner, pointed him out. He had really good ratings, well over 35, 40 five-star ratings. He responded almost immediately to our contact and really got to know the company.
What stood out about the onboarding process?
The intake form from Joshua—I had never seen an intake form like that. It was quite extensive. But it showed that this guy knows what he's doing. I was starting to understand all the five-star ratings based on what he was asking us within this intake form.
How did Joshua approach your Google Ads strategy?
Joshua created an entirely automated Performance Max campaign, before Performance Max was even anything. It was almost like it was still in beta mode. He was able to dive deep and set up different types of campaigns for every one of our products. He said, 'Everything is automated, I'm going to monitor for you but in the future, all you have to do is turn it on, turn it off.'
What were the specific sales results from the first season?
The first 2022-2023 season from September through March we had $23,000 in sales. That's not a big deal for most people but for us it was earth-shattering compared to where we had been in the prior ten years even.
How did the business perform in the second year with Berk Labs?
In 2023-2024, our sales reached $60,000. We used Joshua's recommendations with apps for our Shopify store and incorporated several things he had given guidance on. We're very close to turning a profit.
What are your expectations for the upcoming year?
Using Joshua's advice, his automated campaigns, and going into other markets like social media, we expect to grow over 100k this year and finally turn profitable. We are a lot smarter and shrewder when it comes to our advertising costs.
Frequently asked
Is Berk Labs worth the higher price point compared to other advertisers?
Brian Isler initially hesitated due to the price and past negative experiences with other advertisers. However, he found that Joshua's extensive intake process and deep technical knowledge of Performance Max campaigns delivered results that far outweighed the cost, taking them from 'almost nonexistent' sales to $60,000.
How does Berk Labs handle Google Ads for seasonal businesses?
For Cover Baby's winter products, Joshua Berk managed advertising from September through March. He set up automated campaigns that the owners can now easily monitor, providing two full years of data to identify the best timeframes for peak spending.
What makes the Berk Labs intake process different?
Brian noted that the intake form was 'quite extensive' and unlike anything he had seen before. He stated it proved Joshua knew exactly what he was doing regarding keywords, negative keywords, and campaign structure.
