The Challenge

Incorrect Implementation of Google Ads, Instagram and TikTok Campaigns

Existing campaigns on Google Ads, Instagram and TikTok were missing key elements. Keywords were missing from ad copy, negative keywords were not used, and ads were not optimized for each platform's best practices.

High CPL for Low-Value Leads

The client was experiencing high cost per lead ($300-$400) for low quality leads generated from all platforms.

Negative Return on Investment

The client was struggling to achieve a positive return on investment due to a high volume of low quality leads.

The
Solution

Comprehensive Keyword and Audience Research

Metriqal conducted in-depth research to identify relevant keywords and audiences across Google, Instagram and TikTok. This helped to target high intent users.

Implement Best Practices Across Platforms

We paused old campaigns and launched optimized ads across all three platforms. We implemented negative keywords, audience segmentation and tailored ad copy for each channel. We used a SKAG structure on Google and implemented creative, platform-specific UGC content on Instagram and TikTok.

Optimize Landing Pages

Metriqal created dynamic, conversion-optimized landing pages for all campaigns, with specific copy for each platform to increase lead quality and conversion rates.

Developed a Comprehensive Full-Funnel Email Nurturing Program

After refining our client's unique value proposition and channel-specific messaging, Metriqal designed, implemented and managed a robust email nurturing program. This included a welcome series and automated top, middle and bottom of the funnel campaigns. Emails were tailored to the stage of the prospect's journey and included educational content, practical resources and enticing offers.
