Problem

Running Google Ads for a SaaS company in the corporate training space is tough, especially when the budget’s leaking through inefficient targeting. When this client reached out, they were paying $532 per conversion, with just a 2.11% conversion rate with a spend of $118,000. Despite that level of investment, results had flatlined, and it felt like every dollar was a gamble.

The core issue? Broad match keywords driving unqualified traffic, weak ad copy that didn’t connect, and no real segmentation. Their account had become a mix of mismatched terms with little relevance – they weren’t getting bad traffic, but they also weren’t getting the right traffic.

Solution

We didn’t just make surface-level tweaks. We overhauled the account from the ground up.

First, we dove into past performance and analyzed the historical search terms, identifying waste and layering in negative keywords to cut out irrelevant traffic. From there, we cleaned up the campaign structure – organizing ad groups by intent, tightening match types, and rewriting copy for stronger relevance and Quality Scores.

Next, we launched custom landing pages aligned to each audience segment. They were clear, conversion-driven, and matched the user’s search intent. Which meant better conversion rates and more cost-efficient traffic. Every ad dollar started working harder.

Current Life

The change was immediate.

• Cost per conversion dropped 48%, landing at $274

• Conversion rate more than doubled to 5.28%

• Spend was cut from $118,000 to $70,300

• Conversions grew from 226 to 257

That shift saved the client over $40,500 year-over-year, which they funneled back into product development and growth.

Most importantly? These weren’t just quick wins, they were sustainable improvements. With a clean, focused account, the client now has control of their ad spend and room to scale.
