Case Study: Effective PPC Strategy Powers Growth for Dubai Audio Retailer
Client Overview
Client: Dubai Audio
Industry: High-End Audio Equipment Retail
Agency Partner: Pearl Lemon
Project Goal: Improve PPC campaign performance to increase conversions, lower cost-per-conversion, and drive higher revenue.
Dubai Audio, a retailer of high-end sound systems based in Dubai, caters to a discerning customer base. They faced challenges with previous pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns that failed to drive meaningful returns. Seeking a results-oriented PPC provider, they partnered with Pearl Lemon to take over and revamp their PPC strategy.
Challenges
Dubai Audio faced specific hurdles that limited their prior PPC performance:
- Intense Market Competition: Competing with other high-end audio retailers, Dubai Audio struggled with high ad costs.
- Poor ROI on Previous Campaigns: Conversions were not meeting targets, and cost-per-conversion was unacceptably high.
- Lack of Optimization and Testing: Campaigns lacked consistent testing and audience segmentation, leading to missed opportunities to refine and improve.
Objectives
Pearl Lemon aimed to address these challenges by focusing on three key goals:
- Increase conversion volume and conversion value.
- Optimize budget allocation to lower cost-per-conversion.
- Improve engagement with targeted audience segmentation and retargeting.
Solution
Pearl Lemon implemented a structured, data-driven approach to transform Dubai Audio’s PPC performance in the first 30 days.
1. Comprehensive Campaign Audit and Transition
In the first phase, Pearl Lemon conducted a detailed audit to identify key issues with previous campaigns. The team then optimized existing assets and prepared a robust testing framework.
- Audit and Analysis: Pearl Lemon assessed ad performance, identifying low-performing keywords and high-cost placements.
- A/B Testing Framework: A new A/B testing plan allowed for more granular insights, with split tests focused on ad copy, keyword variations, and audience segments.
Results: 13% increase in conversion volume, indicating Pearl Lemon’s optimized targeting began capturing more qualified leads.
2. Real-Time Adjustments to Bidding and Budgeting
Pearl Lemon made substantial changes to Dubai Audio’s bidding strategy and budget allocation within the first six weeks, refining how much was spent and where it went.
- Bid Optimization: Over 48 targeted bid adjustments were made to maximize exposure on high-converting keywords while minimizing costs on low-performing terms.
- Budget Management: Pearl Lemon executed 63 budget reallocations, steering funds toward campaigns with a higher ROI.
Results: Conversion value increased from $22,000 to $27,000 month-over-month. Cost-per-conversion remained within target thresholds, showing effective resource management.
3. Enhanced Campaign Structure and Audience Retargeting
Pearl Lemon restructured the PPC campaign for better control and more effective retargeting.
- Dynamic Remarketing: Pearl Lemon launched dynamic remarketing campaigns, reaching out to users who had previously shown interest but didn’t convert. This approach created multiple conversion points across the buyer’s journey.
- Negative Keywords and Audience Exclusion: By adding negative keywords and excluding low-intent audiences, Pearl Lemon filtered out irrelevant clicks. This increased the quality of traffic, reducing wasted ad spend.
Results: Conversion rate improved as the retargeting strategy engaged more high-quality leads, and the click-through rate increased with better-targeted ads.
4. Data-Driven Reporting and Ongoing Communication
To keep Dubai Audio informed and engaged, Pearl Lemon maintained active communication and provided detailed monthly reports. These reports included Google Ads data, conversion tracking, and actionable insights.
- Monthly Reports and Analysis: Reports highlighted key metrics like conversions, click-through rate (CTR), cost-per-click (CPC), and return on ad spend (ROAS). A clear comparison with previous months showed performance improvements.
- Transparent Evidence of Efforts: Over 2,300 campaign modifications were recorded in the first month, showing Pearl Lemon’s consistent optimization and commitment to progress.
Results: Over 150 email communications and transparent reporting helped build trust and allowed Dubai Audio to witness Pearl Lemon’s detailed approach firsthand.
Outcome
Dubai Audio saw a marked improvement in PPC performance:
- Higher Conversions: Conversion volume rose by 13% month-over-month.
- Improved Revenue: Conversion value grew from $22,000 to $27,000, reflecting better audience engagement and ROI.
- Better Conversion Rate and CTR: Both metrics saw consistent increases, with click-through rate improving by 10% due to refined keyword targeting , ad copy optimizations, and a more focused audience strategy.
5. Continuous Optimization and Learning
Pearl Lemon’s strategy didn’t stop after the first month; instead, they committed to ongoing adjustments based on emerging data. Every week, new insights from analytics guided further improvements to maximize campaign effectiveness.
- Weekly Reviews and Adjustments: The Pearl Lemon team conducted weekly reviews, making incremental changes to keyword bids, audience segmentation, and ad copy to respond dynamically to performance trends.
- Detailed Split-Testing of High-Impact Areas: Pearl Lemon maintained a continuous A/B testing schedule to refine ad creatives, headlines, and calls-to-action, focusing on elements that delivered higher engagement.
Results: Each month, metrics continued to improve, showcasing the impact of Pearl Lemon’s adaptable approach and responsive management style.
