⚙️ The Challenge

Taking Care & AgeCo faced a high-cost search landscape with a Cost Per Lead of £234. With a legacy conversion rate of just 0.81%, the account was struggling to scale profitably against rising competition.

  • The Goal: Drastically reduce CPL while increasing total lead volume.
  • The Obstacle: Significant budget “bleed” on informational searches and a low-performing legacy landing page.

💡 The Strategy

01. Campaign Restructuring

We stripped out wasted spend by auditing thousands of non-converting terms and restructured the account to separate high-intent queries from broad research-based searches.

02. CRO & Landing Page Collaboration

We collaborated closely on landing page improvements and A/B testing. By optimising trust signals and CTAs, we boosted the conversion rate from 0.81% to 1.51%.

🛣️ The Roadmap to Success

Phase 1: Waste Elimination

Immediate removal of informational “keyword bleed.” Total cost decreased by 11% without sacrificing core lead volume.

Phase 2: Intent Optimisation & A/B Testing

Restructured campaigns to align with user intent and began testing new landing page variations to solve the conversion bottleneck.

Phase 3: Scaling Profitability

Leads increased by 101% as the Cost Per Lead plummeted from £234 to just £103.

📊 The Outcome

  • Leads increased by 101% through better targeting and CRO.
  • Cost Per Lead down 55% (From £234 to just £103).
  • 1.51% Conversion Rate (Scaled from 0.81% via landing page tests).
  • Total ad spend decreased by 11%, all while making the account significantly more profitable.

📤 Key Takeaway

Efficiency in the care sector requires a two-front battle: surgical Search Restructuring to cut waste, and Landing Page CRO to maximise the value of every visitor. The result is a 101% lift in leads on a leaner, healthier budget. By nearly doubling the conversion rate and cutting the CPL by 55%, we fundamentally changed the profitability of the entire account. We didn’t just spend less; we made the budget twice as effective.
