Goal

  • Generate more high-quality leads for traffic services in Queensland

  • Fix conversion tracking issues

  • Improve targeting accuracy through better location setup

  • Lower cost per lead while maintaining lead volume

Before

  • Conversion tracking for calls from ads was not set up

  • Campaigns used radius targeting instead of specific postal codes

  • Negative keyword list was very limited

  • High-intent keywords like “traffic control in Brisbane” were missing

  • Duplicate keywords existed across multiple ad groups

  • Automatically created assets were turned on, which can reduce control over messaging

  • Search partners were enabled, which often brings lower-quality traffic

After

  • Enabled call conversion tracking in campaign settings

  • Switched from radius to postal code targeting for better accuracy and bidding

  • Paused duplicated keywords across all campaigns

  • Created ad groups based on specific locations

  • Added high-intent keywords targeting Queensland and Brisbane

  • Launched new ad copies tailored to each location for split testing

  • Turned off automatically created assets to maintain ad quality and consistency

  • Expanded the negative keyword list to improve traffic relevance

  • Disabled search partners to avoid low-quality impressions

  • Added new sitelinks and callouts to highlight services and increase ad visibility

Strategy & Execution

The campaign was rebuilt and launched before the start of the new week to give Google time to adjust to the new setup. Instead of quick fixes, the focus was on long-term optimization by restructuring the entire account.

This included separating ad groups by location, adding intent-based keywords, and writing new ad copy for each segment. We also made sure all irrelevant traffic was filtered out using negative keywords and by disabling options that typically lower performance, like search partners and auto assets.
