Driving a 162% Conversion Boost for a Tech Company with PPC Optimization

At ClickPhD, we’ve helped companies across various industries optimize their digital marketing efforts, but one recent partnership with a tech company really stands out as a success story. Through a focused PPC strategy, we were able to significantly enhance their ad performance and surpass their conversion goals.

The Challenge

Our client, a growing B2B tech company, was struggling to generate quality leads through their PPC campaigns. They were running Google Ads and LinkedIn campaigns but were not seeing the results they expected. Despite spending over $20,000 per month, their conversion rate remained low, and the cost per lead (CPL) was unsustainable.

Key issues included:

1. Low Conversion Rate: Their conversion rate was hovering around 2%, and they needed it to be closer to 5% to meet business goals.

2. Generic Ad Copy: Their ad copy didn’t effectively convey their unique value proposition, and it lacked compelling calls-to-action (CTAs).

3. Poor Targeting: The campaigns were targeting too broad of an audience, leading to irrelevant clicks and high bounce rates.

4. No Retargeting Strategy: They weren’t capitalizing on retargeting, missing opportunities to convert users who had previously shown interest in their products.

The Solution

We began with a comprehensive audit of their ad accounts to identify where the issues were and where we could optimize for better performance. From there, we implemented the following strategies:

• Audience Segmentation & Refined Targeting: We restructured their campaigns to focus on more specific audience segments, narrowing down the targeting to professionals in their ideal customer profile (ICP), such as IT decision-makers and CTOs.

• Ad Copy Overhaul: We rewrote the ad copy to highlight the company’s core benefits and value, emphasizing their software’s ability to solve specific pain points. We also added strong CTAs like “Request a Demo” and “See How We Can Help.”

• Landing Page Optimization: We improved the landing page experience by aligning the messaging with the ad copy. This included simplifying forms, adding testimonials, and clearly outlining the software’s features and benefits to boost conversions.

• Conversion Tracking Setup: We installed proper conversion tracking to monitor everything from initial clicks to demo requests and sales-qualified leads, giving us clear insight into which campaigns were driving the best results.

• Retargeting Campaigns: We launched retargeting campaigns on Google Display Network and LinkedIn to bring back visitors who had shown interest but didn’t initially convert.

The Results

After optimizing their PPC campaigns, we saw significant improvements in both lead volume and conversion quality over the next few months:

• 162% Increase in Conversions: We achieved a 162% increase in conversions, which far exceeded the client’s expectations.

• Reduction in CPL by 28%: The cost per lead dropped from $350 to $250, allowing the client to capture more leads within their original budget.

• Higher Quality Leads: The new audience segmentation and ad copy brought in more relevant leads, which resulted in a higher close rate for their sales team.

• CTR Improvement: By improving the ad copy and targeting, we saw a 36% increase in click-through rates (CTR), meaning more users were engaging with the ads.

• Successful Retargeting Campaigns: The retargeting efforts generated an additional 25% of conversions, showing the importance of staying top-of-mind with potential customers.
