The challenge

What was holding growth back

01

Inaccurate tracking

Cross-site policy restrictions limited conversion-tracking accuracy, making it hard to measure true campaign impact.

02

Poor-quality traffic

An unoptimised ad-account structure drove low-quality traffic and a weaker return on investment.

03

Unfocused budget

Low budgets and undefined goals led to high lost impression share and low click share, capping reach and effectiveness.

The solution

Strategic initiatives implemented

01

Tracking via Google Tag Manager

Overcame cross-site policy restrictions with custom GTM tracking, restoring accurate conversion measurement.

02

Ad-account restructuring

Split campaigns by focus — an acquisition campaign using only high-lifetime search terms (excluding brand) — so the pixel and bidding strategy could train independently on the right signals.

03

Budget optimisation & goal refinement

Reassessed budgets against refined goals to prevent wastage, and acquired additional budget for core search terms — driving significant returns.

04

Regular monitoring & adjustment

A systematic approach to performance monitoring enabled timely adjustments to emerging challenges and opportunities.

05

Education & client collaboration

Open communication ensured a clear, shared understanding of the key decisions made throughout the campaign.
