SUCCESS STORIES


Wyng Digital
Goal
-
Increase the volume of MGLs (Marketing Generated Leads) & improve the percentage of MGLs that fall within Wyng’s ICP (Ideal Client Profile)
Background
-
Paid search efforts initially focused on promoting white papers and demo/trials.
-
The content performed very well, generating a moderate volume of leads. However, prospects did not fit the criteria of Wyng’s ICP
-
Demo/trial offers did not perform well. Conversion rates were very low due to these offers being utilized across audiences that were higher in the funnel.
Approach
-
We needed to change our approach to pivot our target to larger, enterprise companies. This needed to be done while increasing the overall volume of marketing generated leads.
-
All Display efforts outside of remarketing were paused due to a lack of MQL production – conversion volume has been consistent and of strong volume, but the prospects were consistently SMBs
-
Audit Competitor targeting: reviewed auction insights to see if there were any new competitors. Paused underperforming Competitor targets and created new segments based on new, relevant competitors in the industry
-
Updated landing page template to be more consistent with Wyng’s branding and updated copy and messaging on the landing pages. Created unique landing pages for different verticals and keyword targeting for a more consistent experience
-
Recommended new and updated content for keyword categories that had been paused
-
Negative keyword sculpting in order to funnel traffic to the most relevant ad and offer
Results
-
After our strategy shifted in February, the volume of marketing generated leads (MGLs) increased 132% within the subsequent three months
-
Within 30 days of rolling out the new strategy, the cost per MGL dropped 29%
-
Prior to February, 18% of the leads being generated aligned with Wyng’s ICP (Ideal Customer Profile). From February to April this percentage increased, with over 30% of MGLs falling into the ideal customer profile
Once the recommended changes were implemented, Wyng began to see significant improvement almost immediately. Volume increased steadily month-over-month, with the CPMGL improving by wide margins every month. From February to the end of April, the cost per MGL dropped over 43%.
Rosetta Stone - Enterprise & Education
Goal
-
Increase overall volume of leads generated from SEM for Education and Enterprise Vertical; increase lead quality of the leads produced
Background
An integral part of Rosetta Stone services is providing comprehensive language solutions to K-12 classrooms. Rosetta Stone was looking to increase volume and diversify MQL production within our current paid search campaigns for the Education vertical. Initial roadblocks included:
-
Paid search campaigns were not previously segmented by vertical. Business & K12 campaigns fell under the same umbrella with one budget
-
Education struggled with a very heavy focus towards Branded campaigns. Initial distribution of leads that resulted from Branded efforts was over 80%
-
Consumer paid search ads: consumer ads and searches were providing conflicting results on the SERPs page
Approach
-
The Solution - Campaign Restructure
-
Additional keyword research was performed; previous campaigns were phased out
-
Obility met with product managers for the Education vertical to identify new keyword categories
-
Campaign structure was based on where the prospect was at the in buying cycle
-
Keyword sculpting and the implementation of bid modifiers in several different areas resulted in a large diversification in our conversions.
-
