Problem
A psychiatric healthcare provider came to us with several challenges that were limiting their growth:
- Their previous agency was reactive rather than proactive, keeping the account stable but stagnant.
- Although the clinic offered general healthcare services, their primary focus was psychiatry, which was not being emphasized in their marketing.
- They had recently introduced a new treatment, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), but struggled to get it in front of their target audience.
- The client needed a strategic partner to reorient campaigns around psychiatry and TMS while improving overall account performance.
Solution
Our team developed a multi-pronged approach to restructure and optimize the account:
Campaign Restructuring
- Shifted the focus to psychiatry and TMS by expanding keyword coverage, pausing non-relevant/non-performing keywords, and testing new ad copy.
Built a new, tightly targeted psychiatry campaign.
- Retained but scaled back the Performance Max campaign, allowing room for the new search-focused strategy to prove results without losing existing conversions.
Conversion Tracking & Attribution
- Redirected the landing page from a subdomain to improve cross-network conversion tracking.
- Conducted a full audit of conversion tracking and implemented a better lead attribution method to more accurately measure performance.
Expectation Setting
- Advised the client that narrowing campaign targeting and pulling back from Performance Max would likely increase cost per click (CPC) and cost per conversion (CPA).
- Emphasized that higher conversion value from psychiatry and TMS would offset this, which the client agreed to.
Outcome

Conclusion

Within 60 days, the client saw not only improved conversion quality but also a dramatic increase in efficiency and revenue, validating the strategic shift away from reactive account management.
