A lead cost $200! Burned budget for 3 months with 0 deals closed!
Folks in B2B know how tough customer acquisition is. Today we share a real case study on transforming Google Ads from a “money pit” to a “cash cow”. Take an industrial robot manufacturer: after 3 months of Google Ads spending, each lead cost $200, but all inquiries were just students comparing prices or competitors fishing for solutions—zero serious buyers. Why? Their ads targeted broad keywords like “industrial robot” with CPC hitting $18, attracting mostly price-sensitive individual buyers rather than corporate decision-makers. Their landing page even used aggressive CTA like “Order Now”—unprofessional for careful engineers. Plus, they blindly bid on generic terms, allowing competitors to intercept clicks with rival-branded terms. Here’s our fix:
1. Targeted searches of true decision-makers by eliminating junk terms like “cheap” and focusing on long-tail needs like “PLC system integration for automated production line upgrades.”
2. Layered targeting: Engineers searching technical terms received whitepapers like “Production Line Retrofit Pitfall Guide”; CEOs searching industry terms saw ROI calculators and “zero upfront cost” customization offers. Result? CTR soared from 0.8% to 3.6% in 30 days; cost per lead dropped from $200 to $70. But wait—next we’ll reveal how Google’s hidden features boosted conversions by 300%. Stay tuned, update in 10 mins!
