Problem

Despite having a well-established Google Ads account, the conversions and clicks were not meeting the expected benchmarks. The account’s performance metrics indicated inefficiencies, such as lower conversion rates, reduced click-through rates (CTR), and misaligned ad groups. This indicated a disconnect between the ads and the audience’s expectations, leading to higher costs with minimal results.

Solution

The solution was a strategic overhaul of the existing campaigns. I divided the account into specific, goal-oriented campaigns with meticulously defined ad groups. Each ad group was crafted around tightly focused keywords targeting different audience segments. For every ad group, a tailored landing page was created to align with the specific keyword intent and tone. This ensured consistency between the ads and the landing pages, enhancing user experience and boosting relevance. Keywords used in the ad copy were mirrored in the landing page content to create a seamless journey from ad click to landing page interaction.
