Objective:
Through paid search efforts in both Google Adwords and Bing Adcenter, the client wanted to increase their total online revenue while decreasing their advertising costs, thus earning them a Return On Investment (ROI) above their goal of 3.0. This ROI would earn the company $3.00 in pure profit for every $1.00 they spent in advertising dollars. Web Talent Marketing was recruited for an ongoing period of time to execute advanced paid search strategies and to manage the massive scope of the clients’ 300+ PPC campaigns in Google AdWords.
Strategy:
After reviewing the paid search campaigns implemented by a previous advertising agency, Web Talent identified new areas of refinement through campaign organization, tiered priorities in the geographical locations targeted, and re-wrote outdated ad text that did not comply with best practices in paid search.
On an ongoing basis, Web Talent pulls advanced reports to identify opportunities for expansion in keywords, notes geographic locations where the client was most and least profitable, and builds custom algorithms to keep the hundreds of campaigns running at peak performance even during seasonally low traffic times.
Results:
Through continual collaboration between the client and agency, Web Talent rapidly increased the monthly online revenue in the client’s priority product campaign by 265.75% on average year over year within the early stages of the relationship. This increase in revenue, accompanied by a tight control on budget allocation to highest performing search terms across the entire account, brought this client’s ROI up from 1.39 at the beginning of the term to 3.82 in 6 months. That earned them $3.82 in pure profit for every $1.00 in advertising dollars spent, surpassing their initial goals. This is a 175% increase in ROI in 6 months. Within 18 months, Web Talent achieved an ROI of 5.10, which is an increase of 267% since the launch. Five years after the initial restructure, our team restructured the account again, of which further improved revenue, earning an ROI of over 7.0 consistently and reaching 8.0 on occasion.
