One of our Ford dealers in Southern California sought to increase their exposure and lower the cost of their paid search campaigns. Our team of professionals were able to maximize and drive efficiency by identifying, isolating, and strategizing bids on keywords and by observing past failures and successes, which provided feedback regarding campaigns that drove sales, not just conversions. As a result, we generated over 10,000 phone calls and nearly 11,000 total leads. Website visits were high, with over 86,000 visits and 360,000 activities, including 212,839 KPI conversions. Overall, the paid search campaign that ran throughout 2014 was a success and allowed our client to rise above the competition.
