The

challenge

A B2B SaaS company was running Google Ads with steady spend and almost no leads to show for it. One lead cost $317.

Keywords were not split by intent, Quality Scores were low because ads and landing pages did not match, bids were wasted on clicks that never converted, and conversion tracking was minimal.

Our approach

What we did, in order.

01
Audit & Restructure

Ad groups rebuilt around transactional, navigational and informational intent, with negative keyword lists.

SEO process step 1, search position audit: hands reaching into a beam of light
02
Keywords & Bids

Spend focused on bottom-of-funnel SaaS searches with bid adjustments toward converting terms.

SEO process step 2, strategic roadmap: overhead view of a person on a bench
03
Ads & Landing Pages

Ad copy rewritten, landing pages matched to each ad group, and variations A/B tested.

SEO process step 3, execution and optimisation: people walking through a sunlit underpass
04
Quality Score & CPA

Relevance and landing page experience improved, with optimisation shifted from clicks to lead quality.

SEO process step 4, commercial insight: silhouette walking toward light at the end of a tunnel

The

result

Within three months the account produced 61 leads instead of 1, at $14.02 each instead of $317. Clicks nearly tripled and spend rose only where it was producing leads.

For a SaaS business, that is the difference between Google Ads being a cost and being a sales channel.
