The client and the goal

The client is a business in the travel industry. The client's name is not disclosed. It wanted to win customers through a B2C lead campaign in Google Ads, with a budget of €2,000.

The goal was a high number of contacts at a good cost, without losing the quality of the enquiries.

The challenge: how to win valuable leads on a €2,000 budget

The travel industry needs a precise strategy. What counts there is the quality of the leads, not just the number of clicks.

With a limited budget there was little room for traffic that would not turn into real enquiries. Every part of the campaign had to be aimed at people who were ready to ask.

What we did: precise lead campaigns in Google Ads

We worked on four areas.

  1. Segmentation by search intent

    We set the campaigns up around phrases with high purchase potential.

  2. Lead form optimisation

    We simplified the enquiry form to increase the number of completed forms.

  3. Dynamic remarketing

    We reached people who had not completed an enquiry, with remarketing.

  4. A/B tests of ad headlines

    We checked which messages generate the most enquiries.

The results: high-quality leads on a low budget

400 leads for €2,000. An effective campaign at a low cost.

High quality of enquiries. We removed users who were not engaged, so the enquiries that came in were worth following up.

Better conversion to sales. The leads had business value, which supported sales.

The original case study does not publish a measurement period, a cost-per-lead figure or sales numbers, so we report only the figures it states.

Our takeaway

Lead generation is not only about numbers. An effective campaign delivers leads that really turn into customers.

What this means for lead generation on a small budget

Small budgets reward precision. In this project that meant targeting by search intent, an easier form, a second chance for visitors who did not finish and a steady test of ad messages.
