The Problem

A leading business finance company found themselves in a digital dilemma. Despite being heavy spenders on Google Ads, they couldn't harness the power of Meta platforms effectively, leading to inconsistent results and unqualified leads.

Their main goal was clear: carve out a new path in paid social marketing that would consistently draw in leads at an optimal cost.

Before partnering with GR0, their attempts at paid social were sporadic and lacked a scalable strategy, leaving much potential on the table.

Our Strategy

Our game plan was all about smart, strategic testing paired with real-time adjustments.

Starting from ground zero, we identified the potential in untapped paid social avenues. We tested various audiences and creative formats extensively, quickly discovering that user-generated content (UGC) not only grabbed attention but also drove engagement far better than more conventional ads.

Armed with this insight, we crafted a campaign architecture that allowed for continuous testing and scaling of successful strategies.

This wasn't just throwing ideas at the wall to see what stuck — it was a meticulous process of iteration and optimization, driven by data and a deep understanding of what the audience responded to.

Every step was aligned with the goal of not just meeting, but exceeding the lead cost targets while enhancing lead quality.

Examples

  • Transitioned from a fragmented campaign approach to a more streamlined structure, which increased efficiency and reduced the learning phase duration significantly.

  • Implemented and refined multiple UGC campaigns that resonated uniquely with the target audience, setting the client apart from competitors.

  • Continuously tested and optimized audience segments to ensure that the most responsive and profitable groups were targeted, enhancing overall campaign effectiveness.

Our Results

  • Met the target of reducing cost per lead to $100 on Google Ads within the first month of campaign adjustments.

  • Enhanced lead quality by 20–40% over a six-month period, ensuring that growth in lead volume did not compromise lead value.

  • Successfully increased monthly ad spend to $100,000 while maintaining the target cost per lead, demonstrating effective budget management.
