Bayfield’s
SEO and Google Shopping Case Study
DOMINATING IN ORGANIC LIQUOR SEARCHES
The Client
Bayfield’s are independent, family-owned liquor stores located on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Bayfield’s has been a successful brick and mortar business for 40 years, but they also saw the importance of their online store expanding reach and convenience further through in store pick up, delivery, and click and collect services. Bayfield’s were initially referred to Agent 6 by their developers to assist with a Google Analytics tracking issue on their eCommerce website.
The Goal
Having successfully solved their Analytics issue, Bayfields asked Agent 6 to grow their online sales for high value products using SEO and Google Shopping. Bayfields was looking for a minimum of a 6-to-1 Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) on both channels.
The Work
Agent 6 was given a list of Bayfield’s best performing products and tasked with improving their presence in organic search. In tandem with this approach, a Google Shopping campaign was to support the brand’s efforts and drive additional sales.
The Strategy
Using a combination of judicious link organic building and a proven content methodology, Agent 6 embarked on a website optimisation project with Bayfield’s developers.
The Results
Bayfields’ SEO and Google Shopping campaigns have delivered month-on-month gains and revenue growth and exceeded the brand’s monthly ROAS targets every month.
Both SEO and Google Shopping campaigns have allowed Bayfields to compete head on with larger national brands and dominate in the online space on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in both organic and paid search.

SEO and Google Shopping Success
The results are in and it’s clear that pairing strong SEO with effective Google advertising is a winning combination. After several months of SEO and Google Shopping focus, Bayfield’s online site has not only met the ROAS goal, but surpassed it, giving their online store an unheard of return of 16 times that of ad spend. At time of writing, this return on ad spend has proven sustainable coming up to a year now, making online advertising their most effective advertising channel.

AI Site Rebuilds Going Wrong – Classic Mistakes
Over the last few months, a clear pattern has emerged in the consulting work landing on our desk at Agent 6: businesses coming to us after rebuilding their website with an AI tool, only to watch their traffic and leads collapse in the weeks that followed.
Shreddies Diamond Shaped Cereals – A Good Laugh That Cuts Through
Ogilvy & Mather had a problem: sales of square Shredded Wheat cereal had gone flat. Nobody wanted to eat the same cereal a different way, and changing the recipe wasn’t really an option – it’s shredded wheat, there’s only so much you can do.
It Was About Display/Programmatic Advertising
The remedies outlined by the court are about the display/programmatic side of Google’s business, not Search. When someone searches on google.com.au and you’re bidding on keywords, that ad slot is decided in Google’s own closed auction – it never touches AdX. But when your Display, Discovery, or App campaigns show an ad on someone else’s website (a news site, a blog, whatever), that impression gets sold through the exact pipeline the ruling is about.
Google got sued for manipulating PPC prices (sort of)
In January 2023, the DOJ (the US Government’s Department of Justice) and a group of states sued Google over its control of the plumbing that sits between advertisers and publishers, ie, the ad server, the exchange, the auction. In April 2025, a US federal judge ruled Google had illegally monopolised key parts of that tech stack. On 2 September 2026, a week ago, the same judge ruled on remedies.
Can Google Actually “See” AI Content? Here’s What We Know
AI was never the target. The target is what happens when someone uses AI to publish 400 near-identical pages instead of one good one. Thin content, near-duplicate structure, pages that technically answer a query but say nothing that the ten pages linked to it didn’t already say, that’s what is going to get punished. The AI is just the tool that made doing this at scale so easy and quick.
