Boosting ROI and Qualified Leads with Strategic Ad Optimization

Many companies believe that broadening their advertising coverage will lead to an increase in revenue. However, this often leads to poor quality of leads and high costs. Our agency fell into this trap a year ago and, as a result, received very few qualified contacts at a much higher cost than usual. We shifted our focus to quality and ran more structured ad campaigns. This resulted in a reduction of advertising costs by 38% and an increase in conversions into appointments by 16%, more than five times the industry average. We also managed to close four times more deals since June and achieved a 15% average month-to-month growth of new deals from pay-per-click (PPC) ads. To achieve such impressive results, we implemented seven strategic ad optimization steps: taking advantage of seasonality, leaving more budget at the end of the month, analyzing keywords from organic search, creating separate landing pages for each advertising campaign, monitoring ad performance, using only business emails in all forms, and capturing leads with specific lead magnets for each social network. Additionally, our technical setup tips included minding multiple devices, monitoring cost-per-acquisition (CPA) by day and geographic location, reviewing, updating and grouping keywords, optimizing ad groups by conversion rate, and regularly running experiments. Finally, we emphasised the importance of a comprehensive approach to improving conversion rate and cost-per-click (CPC), paying attention to conversion rate instead of just CPC and avoiding sacrificing your ability to acquire new customers when mastering paid ads. Overall, by applying strategic and technical approaches to running ads, you can maximize your advertising return on investment (ROI) and boost qualified leads while reducing costs.
