Transcripts

Regina:

Hey everyone, Regina here with Starter PPC.

2

:

We were able to get a conversion

rate, increase of 135%.

3

:

I'm looking at a time period of

about a month and a half comparing

4

:

to the previous month and a half.

5

:

I wanted to show this, result to

you guys and show you the changes

6

:

that we made to get this result.

7

:

this is a real estate advisor.

8

:

company.

9

:

So they advise people who are buying

and selling real estate on how to

10

:

structure their companies, structure

their, Trusts and get the most out of

11

:

the sales tax and things like that.

12

:

they have pretty small budget, only

about a thousand dollars a month.

13

:

Okay.

14

:

So we're working with very limited data.

15

:

And, if you guys are also working

with limited budgets like that,

16

:

then you'll know it can be pretty

difficult to see what's working and

17

:

for the algorithm to also see what's

working and to scale from there.

18

:

So everything is very challenging

when you're small it's just

19

:

one of those facts of life.

20

:

we're running a inbound search campaign.

21

:

We're also experimenting with a call

only campaign, although this one

22

:

hasn't brought in any conversions yet.

23

:

we were running a DSA, which

is like inbound search, except,

24

:

the algorithm is going to assign

its own keywords and headlines.

25

:

So you only, Give it the landing

page and you write the descriptions.

26

:

So we were experimenting with

that, but it wasn't working

27

:

as well as the inbound search.

28

:

So we decided to put all of the

money into inbound search and our

29

:

new call it only experiment.

30

:

I'm comparing November 7th to

December 31st with the previous

31

:

period of the same amount of days.

32

:

the, conversion rate, as you can see here,

went up 135 percent and that's a from 0.

33

:

42 to 1%.

34

:

We can also see that the click

through rate went down by 20%.

35

:

Don't let this type of

thing freak you out.

36

:

Sometimes a lowered click through

rate is actually a good thing.

37

:

Because you pay every time there's

a click, So if you have less clicks,

38

:

a lower click through rate, but

you're getting more, qualified leads

39

:

who are actually converting on your

site Out of 57 percent increased

40

:

conversion rate, then that's great.

41

:

A lower click through

rate all day long, right?

42

:

As long as you're getting more conversions

for the same amount of money spent.

43

:

if we looked at CPA, yeah, cost per

acquisition, you would see that it

44

:

went from 814 per conversion to 450.

45

:

Dollars per conversion.

46

:

since we're working with such

small budgets, we're not working

47

:

with a lot of data here to

conversions up to four conversions.

48

:

So the amount of conversions was doubled.

49

:

the cost went up by about 10%, but.

50

:

Not enough to really cause

that type of, cost going up.

51

:

Doesn't usually increase

conversion rate to go up.

52

:

So that's an irrelevant stat, Literally.

53

:

This is what we changed.

54

:

So in the.

55

:

ad copy, we used keyword

insertion for location.

56

:

we're only targeting

California in this campaign.

57

:

we tried a couple of different

things in one of the headlines.

58

:

We wrote California in

one of the headlines.

59

:

We used this keyword

insertion for their city.

60

:

and in another headline we're

even trying Orange County since

61

:

that's our primary market.

62

:

And we're hoping that the algorithm

will show the Orange County

63

:

headline if people are near Orange

County, cause it looks fancy.

64

:

in the world of real estate, there's

a lot of people searching and clicking

65

:

who want to learn, but they're not

in a position to hire advisors.

66

:

the theory is that by

inserting the person's.

67

:

location into the headlines.

68

:

They're going to be more serious,

This is gonna be a higher qualified

69

:

lead because they are looking

for advisors in their city.

70

:

They're not just in general

wanting to read about advisors.

71

:

hi there.

72

:

Quick interruption.

73

:

Do you know the main thing that

prevents small business owners from

74

:

getting their Google ads account into

a position to grow and scale budget?

75

:

A lot of businesses, especially

those that are just starting

76

:

out, have limited budgets.

77

:

And so because of this, they're turned

away by most ad agencies because most ad

78

:

agencies have minimum budget thresholds

that they're willing to work with.

79

:

So what happens is the business owners

end up learning Google ads themselves.

80

:

And the problem with that is

that most of the advice online is

81

:

geared towards larger accounts.

82

:

And the advice doesn't have any of those

strategies or tricks that can kickstart

83

:

the algorithm into giving a small

account a leg up over larger competitors.

84

:

So it often just doesn't work

and the business just ends up

85

:

losing money month over month.

86

:

If this sounds familiar,

starter PPC can help.

87

:

We offer Google ads management services

that are designed for accounts that

88

:

have between 1, 000 and 5, 000 budgets.

89

:

Because all of our clients are just

starting out, we've come up with ways to

90

:

keep our management fees significantly

lower than most agencies, because

91

:

we know that every dollar saved on

management fees just goes towards

92

:

the ad budget, which is going to help

the algorithm gather speed and power.

93

:

So if you're serious about growing your

business and you'd like a team of Google

94

:

ads experts to help you without breaking

the bank, check us out at starter PPC.

95

:

com.

96

:

Okay.

97

:

Back to the video.

98

:

It cuts out the how to.

99

:

People who are just, looking around, and

it invites people that are more serious.

100

:

Cause they're going to see their

city or they're going to see,

101

:

California, oh, these are real estate

advisors located in California.

102

:

That's what I'm looking for.

103

:

it increases the purchase intent

of the people that click and it

104

:

subtly pushes away the people

that don't have purchase intent.

105

:

Who are just wanting to, learn,

this is more of a commitment.

106

:

Real Estate Advisor is located in your

city, we didn't make too many other

107

:

changes around the same time that the

click through rate started going up.

108

:

And so this is all I can really attribute

to, the increased conversion rate.

109

:

just to make things fair, I even went

into the keyword planner tool and I

110

:

can see that in this industry, the

amount of people searching goes up by

111

:

20 percent in January, if I include

January, you'll see that the conversion

112

:

rate went up a whopping 250%, But

I'm not counting that because I'm

113

:

trying to remove anything that would

have influenced, the conversion rate.

114

:

outside of what we did, which

is change the headlines.

115

:

Literally that's the smallest change.

116

:

if you're wondering, Regina, how

did you guys come up with that idea?

117

:

I wouldn't have even thought

to do something like that.

118

:

it happened while I was

looking at competitor analysis.

119

:

So I was, trying to brainstorm

ways to help this company, succeed.

120

:

I knew that.

121

:

An 800 cost per acquisition on

their website wasn't good enough,

122

:

and it needed to be cut in half.

123

:

And so we were on Google searching as

though we were a serious buyer, and we

124

:

clicked on a couple of the competitor ads.

125

:

And, there's a way to get to

the Ad Transparency Center from

126

:

other people's sponsored ads.

127

:

if you are wondering how to do this,

check out the video I made just

128

:

last week about competitor analysis.

129

:

because basically when you are

doing competitor analysis, you can

130

:

see what other people are doing.

131

:

And we saw that the competitors

were using cities in the headlines.

132

:

And we thought, that's interesting

that, not all industries

133

:

need that type of thing.

134

:

But possibly with real estate.

135

:

It's going to change the

game, So we saw them doing it.

136

:

We gave it a try and it worked.

137

:

So don't skip over those, that

competitor analysis, everyone.

138

:

And don't freak out if your

click through rate goes down.

139

:

Not a big deal as long as your

conversion rate is going up more.

140

:

all hope this has been helpful.

141

:

Thanks for watching.
