Where they started, what we did, where they are now
Ads that didn’t know their buyer
It wasn’t clear what buyers wanted, which ad words worked, or which landing pages turned visitors into enquiries.
Built the campaign from scratch
Research into what buyers search for, ads that sell the real strengths, local targeting, better landing pages and proper tracking.
A steady stream of good leads
Leads grew 481% in six months. Nearly half of the people who clicked an ad became a lead.
US Steel Building Manufacturer, in plain words
The steel building manufacturer supplies custom steel buildings for homes, businesses and farms. It is trusted for durable, good-value metal buildings. It wanted a steady flow of enquiries from people ready to buy.
We built the Google Ads campaign from scratch. We researched the words buyers use, wrote ads that show the real strengths, aimed them at the areas the company serves, and made the landing pages (The page someone sees after clicking) match the ads.
Leads grew 481.28% in six months and the total cost stayed the same. Nearly half of the people who clicked an ad became a lead.
What stood in the way
Not knowing the buyer
It was unclear what the target customers wanted, worried about or searched for, so targeting was weak.
Ads that persuade
The ads had to show what makes the company different and make people want to click.
Pages that turn visitors into leads
Without knowing what buyers respond to, it is hard to design a page that gets enquiries.
Getting the most from the budget
Every dollar needed careful bid management to bring back as much as possible.
Measuring what works
Accurate tracking was needed to see what was working and what to improve.

What other business owners can take from this
Match the ad, the page and the buyer
When what the ad promises is what the page delivers, far more clicks turn into enquiries.
Advertise where you can deliver
Showing ads in your service area, with more spend where enquiries are likely, avoids paying for clicks you cannot serve.
