How We Helped a Local Turf Company Increase Leads and Decrease CPL How We Helped a Local Turf Company Increase Leads and Decrease CPL INDUSTRY: Construction COMPANY SIZE: 10 - 15 BUSINESS GOAL: 3 Leads per day MARKETING STRATEGY: Increase Quality Leads, Decrease Cost Per Lead, Maintain a Strong Return on Ad Spend Supercharging Digital Performance 68 % Website Traffic 257 % Average SERP Positioning 8 % Goal Completions 53 % Google Ad Leads The Challenge Our client, a leader in the artificial turf and landscaping industry, came to us with a goal of generating more leads and getting more return on ad spend (ROAS). They were struggling with a high cost per acquisition (CPA), so we knew we had to focus on both paid and organic growth and well as a fresh new website design that encouraged conversions. In addition to these challenges, we also faced new challenges as COVID-19 hit. We were seeing a lot of competition in the space and a downturn in consumers wanting to invest in larger purchases like turf installation. Because of this, we faced an increase in cost per click (CPC). We also faced high levels of regional industry competition in our paid advertising strategies. The Strategy To combat the client’s high CPA, our PPC team tested different campaigns to see what could lower it. We utilized SMART campaigns and display campaigns and found that the display campaigns did really well because the CPC is a lot lower than search campaigns. We also refined the client’s ad copy and did continuous keyword research and testing to make sure our ads stayed competitive. This led to a massive increase in Google’s Quality Score, which in turn placed the client’s ads in front of a much more targeted audience. This meant more conversions and less ad spend. We also implemented attractive display ads, as well as a Google Smart Call Campaign. Both of these proved to be a huge success, with 189 leads coming in from just those two channels. To increase organic traffic, we focused on delivering high-quality content to answer top search queries. We also developed a YouTube channel for our client and generated more than 39k views on their videos. Additionally, we redesigned the client’s user experience on the website so that the new surge of traffic would actually have a place to convert. Our historical data suggested that rewriting and repositioning CTAs on-page, adding past customer testimonials, and brand new pictures of recent projects would positively impact user conversion rate.
