Stagnant Lead Generation Despite Steady Campaign Performance
GRS Technology Solutions had been running a Google Ads campaign with phrase and exact match keywords, which generated a consistent number of leads for several months. However, they sought to increase their conversion volume and improve overall campaign performance.
Our Google Ads specialists investigated potential strategies to boost conversion results, focusing on exploring the broad match keyword option in conjunction with Smart Bidding.
Leveraging Broad Match Keywords and Smart Bidding for Improved Reach and Relevance
- Broad Match Keywords
- Smart Bidding
- Campaign Experiments
To address the challenge of increasing conversion volume, our specialists implemented the following tactics:
Broad Match Keywords and Smart Bidding: First, we introduced broad match keywords alongside the existing phrase and exact match keywords. Broad match allows ads to appear on searches related to the keyword, taking into account various signals to determine keyword intent.
Smart Bidding, an automated bidding strategy that optimizes for conversions or conversion value, was used to ensure ads appeared in relevant searches.
Performance breakdown (Dec 2023 – Feb 2024) after implementing broad match keywords with Smart Bidding
Campaign Experiments: To test the effectiveness of broad match keywords with Smart Bidding, our team conducted two initial experiments using the Google Ads experiments feature. The first experiment, which ran for two weeks in late August, was followed by a second, three-week experiment in mid-September. Encouraged by the promising results from these tests, the team fully incorporated broad match keywords into GRS Technology Solutions’ campaign in early December.
After experiencing a downward trend in ad clicks from Sept to Nov 2023, GRS saw an immediate uptick in performance following the implementation of campaign optimizations in early December
