Pay-Per-Click Results
The Storage Group also focuses on providing quality self storage leads through the use of Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC). High Click-Through-Rates (CTR) and low Cost Per Click (CPC) averages are our goals when managing the performance of PPC campaigns.
A Click-through Rate (CTR) is the percentage of people who view your ad and then click on it, taking them to your website. This is a common and effective metric in determining the success of a PPC campaign.
Client #1:
A client saw their conversion rates increase by 1,224% compared to the same time period the year before.
A client was losing potential leads with low amounts of returning visitors to their website.
We created a Display Remarketing Campaign in their Google Ads account to help target previous website visitors who may be in the research phase for storage units in their region.
The display remarketing campaign directly and almost immediately impacted Click-Through-Rates (CTR) and Conversion Rates within the Search Campaign.
There are 2 sets of data comparisons. Since the Display Campaign began running in November of 2018, we first compared the previous 6 months before November 2018, to the following 6 months after November 2018.
The second data comparison is a time period of 90 Days compared to the same 90 days the year before. (January 26 – April 25, 2019 compared to January 26 – April 25, 2018)
Data Set 1:
6 Months before November 2018:
- 4.52% CTR
- 15 conversions
- 3.41% Conv. Rate
6 Months after November 2018:
- 3.54% CTR
- 57 conversions
- 11.80% Conv. Rate
Data Set 2:
CTR: 90 Day Comparison: Jan 26 – April 25, 2019 compared to same time period 2018
- CTR(2018): 3.81%
- CTR(2019): 6.29%
- This is an increase of 64.91%
Conversion Rate: 90 Day Comparison: Jan 26 – April 25, 2019 compared to same time period 2018
- Conv. Rate (2018): 1.28%
- Conv. Rate (2019): 16.97%
- This is an increase of 1,223.85%
Summary of PPC client results:
All around increases happened when the Search Campaign was reinforced with a Display Remarketing Campaign to help “win back” previous visitors and potential clients. Returning users to the website also steadily increased after the Display Remarketing campaign was implemented.
**Conversions are leads that measured in phone calls to the facility, quote requests, clicks to call from ads in maps, GPS location clicks for directions to the facility.
