Fewer clicks, more commercial enquiries
A year of running it in-house had produced traffic. The search terms showed where the money was actually going.
- Business
- Specialist commercial contractor
- Average project value
- $25,000 to $120,000
- Account age at handover
- More than a year
The problem
The company had been running Google Ads itself for more than a year. The account generated traffic. The search terms showed the spend going to residential enquiries, DIY searches, people looking for a job, information-only queries, and services the company did not offer.
It was producing activity. It was not producing commercial opportunities.
What we did
The account was rebuilt around commercial buying intent, and performance was measured against qualified enquiries rather than clicks.
- Account restructure
- Commercial keyword research
- Negative keyword strategy
- Geographic targeting
- Dedicated landing pages
- Call tracking
- Form conversion tracking
- Search-term monitoring
- Campaign-level lead reporting
- Ongoing bid and budget optimisation
Results
Over four months.
The difference
The objective was never the cheapest click. It was making sure the spend reached businesses that could realistically become customers.
