The Prime Challenges

The primary challenges faced were as follows:

  • To get more conversions especially Application Submissions through Paid Search.
  • To generate more phone calls.
  • To improve the CPA of the account.

Due to setup anomalies in the account, it was difficult to get relevant leads/form fill-ups through the website:

  1. The keyword theming had a scope of improvement as there were 15+ keywords added in one ad group. Having these many keywords in one ad group was affecting the quality score and conversions.
  2. There were many generic keywords added and the match types of the keywords needed to be improvised as well. This was resulting in unnecessary spend and irrelevant conversions in the account.
  3. In the display campaign, audiences were not added and as a result, the ad was shown to open audiences along with some targeted display keywords and placements, resulting in a huge amount of spend with no conversions.

The Solution

To generate more conversions at a lower CPA, the following changes were implemented by Uplers:

  • Budget Icon

    Identifying the opportunities to invest the budget in a proper way, such as allocating budget as per the performance of the campaign can actually make a difference. This will result in cutting unnecessary spend and increase the spend for the performing ones to get a hike in conversions and lower down the CPA.

  • Target Icon

    The team tested call-only ads in specific brand campaigns to get more phone calls, which proved to be a major factor in generating more call conversions and helped to lower down the CPA.

  • Bidding Icon

    The correct use of bidding strategy like “Maximize Conversions” in the campaigns was done, once there was enough historical data to achieve the marketing goals.

  • Ad Group Icon

    In the initial phase of campaigns, the bid strategy used in the Brand and AMA campaigns was “Manual CPC” to control the bids based on the performance. Later, the campaigns were optimized with regular search term analysis and bid adjustments wherever required. Furthermore, once enough data was received from the account, the team switched to “Maximize Conversions” to focus more on results and lower down the CPA of the account.

  • Key Icon

    The next step was finding and excluding negative keywords in the account by preparing detailed search terms report and pausing keywords that were too generic and were running with improper match type to reduce irrelevant search queries and reduction in cost.

  • Revenue Icon

    Further, it was necessary to identify the opportunities for remarketing to the users who previously visited the website by implementing Display Banner Ads (Template Ads) in a separate campaign.

  • Earth Icon

    Keyword theming was revised to improve the quality score of the keywords, thereby increasing the relevancy of the ads running resulting in minimum CPCs and generating maximum results.

  • Ad Icon

    Adding to that, started with Microsoft Ads (formerly known as Bing Ads) in February 2017 to see the performance on other platforms by importing all the campaigns from Google Ads and using UTM Tags for conversion tracking.

  • Pin Icon

    Optimization of campaigns at different levels like keyword, locations, demographics, scheduling ads on active hours and day, ad copies, devices, and audiences on a weekly/monthly basis played an important role in generating maximum results and lower CPA.

  • Dollar icon

    Better tracking setup helped the team to look at things at a more granular level and make data-driven decisions to further enhance the performance of the campaigns by driving the goals and events.
