Search campaigns built around what a lead is worth, not what a click costs.
Most accounts optimise toward the cheapest conversion, and the cheapest conversion is usually the least valuable one. A form step counts the same as a booked job, so the algorithm learns to buy the wrong thing. Efficiently, and for months.
What we actually do.
- Every conversion action is given a value that reflects what it is actually worth to you.
- Closed outcomes are fed back into the account, so bidding learns from revenue rather than from form fills.
- Keyword and negative architecture rebuilt around intent, not around volume.
- Where the market has a ceiling, we say so and stop selling budget.
The work itself.
- Every conversion action audited against what it actually counts, then given a value that reflects what it is worth to you.
- Keyword and negative architecture rebuilt around intent rather than volume.
- Search terms read on a schedule, with the queries that spend and never convert added as negatives.
- Closed outcomes fed back into the account, so bidding learns from booked work instead of form fills.
- A monthly reconciliation between what the platform reports and what your own records say.
- A written note when the market has a ceiling, and a recommendation to stop adding budget.
Three things to check in your own account first
None of this needs us. It takes about ten minutes and it will tell you whether you have this problem before you talk to anybody.
- Open the search terms report for the last quarter, sort by cost, and read the top twenty rows. Count how many of those queries you would happily pay for again.
- Go to Conversions and look at which actions are marked Primary. If a newsletter signup and a booked estimate are both counted as one conversion, the account has been told they are worth the same, and it will keep buying the cheaper one.
- Compare impression share lost to budget against impression share lost to rank. Losing on budget is a decision somebody made. Losing on rank is not.
What we cannot tell you yet. We cannot tell you what a click is worth to you until we know your close rate and your average job value. Those two numbers come from your side, and until they exist every bid in the account is a guess with a strategy written on it.
