Overview:
A SaaS company offering community management software aimed to increase their customer base but was struggling with low lead generation and high competition. They partnered with us to implement a targeted Search Engine Marketing (SEM) strategy to improve their visibility, drive traffic, and generate qualified leads in a short period of time.
Challenges:
- High Competition for Paid Keywords: The community software niche was highly competitive, with many established players bidding for the same high-intent keywords.
- Low Conversion Rate: Despite running Google Ads, the client’s ad campaigns were not converting, leading to wasted ad spend and low ROI.
- Poor Ad Performance: The ad copy and landing pages were not optimized for conversions, resulting in low click-through rates and high bounce rates.
Solutions:
- Comprehensive SEM Strategy: We revamped the client’s SEM campaign by conducting in-depth keyword research to identify high-converting, lower-cost keywords related to community management software. We also optimized the ad copy with compelling calls-to-action (CTAs) and aligned it with user intent.
- Landing Page Optimization: The landing pages were redesigned to improve user experience, with clear CTAs, better content alignment with the ads, and faster load times. This directly contributed to higher conversion rates.
- A/B Testing and Conversion Tracking: We set up A/B testing to compare different versions of the ad copy and landing pages, as well as implemented conversion tracking to monitor the performance of each campaign and adjust the bidding strategy for better ROI.
Achieved Results:
- 50% Increase in Conversion Rate: Through continuous optimization and testing, the client’s conversion rate improved by 50%, leading to more demo sign-ups and product inquiries.
- Lowered Cost-Per-Click (CPC) by 30%: The new keyword strategy and optimized ad copy resulted in a 30% reduction in CPC, allowing the client to stretch their budget further while maintaining quality traffic.
- 120% Increase in Lead Generation: The combination of a refined SEM campaign and landing page optimization resulted in a 120% increase in qualified leads, driving more sign-ups for their community software.
- Better Ad Performance: CTR improved by 40%, and bounce rates dropped by 25%, indicating that the traffic driven by the ads was more engaged and relevant.
