Introduction

The client had come to us with the problem they were having with extremely high costs per conversion/client acquisition. At the time it was $800+ per conversion, which was costing the client too much of their budget to be worth running ads. After a complete audit of their ads configurations, it was apparent that the campaigns were set up incorrectly.

Planning

After completing the audit, we outlined the necessary configuration changes and got to work. We ensured location targeting was set to “presence only,” disabled the search and display network for this search-only campaign, and set the initial campaign goal to “website traffic” for the first month. Additionally, we conducted thorough keyword research and implemented a phrase match keyword list to start with.

Tracking

The primary reason the client’s previous campaign underperformed and incurred high conversion costs was a conversion tracking issue. The most accurate way to track form submissions is through a ‘thank you’ page conversion action. Implementing this method was a key factor in the campaign’s success during the first month.

Conclusion

The client is pleased with the results so far, and we are consistently making incremental improvements to further reduce the cost per conversion while ensuring a steady flow of qualified borrower applications. Through ongoing optimization, we aim to help the client scale sustainably and maintain profitable ad campaigns. Proper campaign configuration and accurate conversion tracking are crucial for success—missing any details can render ads ineffective, leading to wasted spend and frustration.

If I have to choose which service to start first, which service will give me results fastest?

We always recommend you go with Google Ads first as it is the most intent-driven advertising. This means prospective clients are searching for specific things and are usually sooner to transact.

When will I start to see results?

While every campaign and client is different, we usually have a ramp-up period of about 30 days to start seeing some great results. Sometimes this happens sooner, but we prefer to under-promise and over deliver.
