The challenge
The ads were getting healthy click-through, but the landing page had no form or call to action, the contact form was not submitting, and budget was leaking outside the service area.
What we did
Fixed the path after the click, rebuilt the campaigns around how corporate buyers search, and tracked four enquiry actions.
"Click Genius has helped us on many client projects and delivered exceptional results on every one. Dilshad's understanding of how SEO and Google campaigns tie together is fantastic. Can't recommend them enough."
