I have been managing their Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising since 2022 to generate leads from corporations and private individuals.

A test and learn approach has proved very successful in generating conversions at a significantly lower cost.

 

 

What we set out to do

After taking over their paid search account and reviewing all their conversions setup, I tested shifting more advertising budget to Google rather than Bing. 

As often is the case, Google Ads generates the bigger volume of traffic to the website and leads & sales, while Microsoft Advertising generates leads at a lower cost per lead.

Early in 2023 I moved my client over to GA4, setting up conversion events and custom reports.

Using Crazy Egg we worked on optimizing the website, focusing on making helpful information easier to find and improving the overall navigation. While people can book courses directly on the website, most people prefer to get in touch or request a quote, becoming a lead.

LinkedIn Advertising has proven successful but due to the higher cost per lead we activate this channel during my client’s high season.
