THE CHALLENGE

The team at Peninsula General Insurance was looking for a strategic SEM agency to help them get more out of their Google Ads (formerly AdWords) budget.

acquire more qualified leads that would translate to paying customers

staying within a certain budget

In the past, Peninsula had just a 15% return on ad spend (ROAS). This presented a huge opportunity to drive down the overall cost per acquisition (CPA) and increase ROI 2-3x.

Solution

The HawkSEM team met with Peninsula General to have an in-depth discussion about key goals, customer persona, unique selling points, and competition. Armed with important details from this kick-off meeting, we were then able to pull together game-changing data that set the stage for Peninsula General’s soaring PPC success.

We crafted new high-converting ads

New campaigns dominated many low-cost keywords missed by the competition

A new PPC landing page designed to enhance their PPC results even further

There was an almost immediate increase in conversions due to the clean, professional, and easy-to-absorb design

The landing page was so well-received by Peninsula’s clients that the HawkSEM team ended up doing a full website re-design to match

RESULTS

Today, Peninsula General pays 66% less per lead than they did before, and our partnership continues to grow and provide them with the results they deserve.
