The Goals
- Restructure the PPC campaign setup
- Increase the number of quality business leads
- Reach a wider potential audience
The Challenge
After evaluating the results from their previous Pay-Per-Click (PPC) efforts, we ascertained that the previous PPC ad campaign did not generate an optimal visibility or search share. Therefore, the challenge was to create a strategy with new, revitalized campaigns that would lead to a significant increase in business leads & ROI (Return On Investment) .
The Methodology
After an overall analysis of the website, we decided to create separate landing pages for each category, which were to be targeted for the PPC campaign. We then restructured the campaign and added high search volume keywords for each of those landing pages. Based on these relevant keywords, we created multiple Ad copies and included negative keywords which would prevent our ads from getting unwanted clicks. We also included ad extensions like Sitelinks, Call extension, Callout extension and Location extension to be shown along with the text ad.
We also designed bidding strategies that would be focused on average position & ROI. Campaigns are still monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure the continued success. This includes applying short-term ads that highlight special offers for holidays and other occasions.
The Results
We obtained the performance data of the campaign by comparing the results before and after the optimization of the PPC campaigns and the creation of separate landing pages. The following results were noted:
- The overall average position has been improved from 3.0 to 1.8
- The overall click-through rate (CTR) rate increased from 2.83% to 6.26%
- The goal conversion rate jumped from 0.04% to 3.28%
- The overall bounce rate was improved from 78.72% to 65.58%
