Taking over an account at the start of peak season, without letting costs run

Account taken over just before the busiest weeks, in a market where every click is expensive. We found what was holding the existing campaigns back, then reopened volume while bringing the cost per conversion down.

The case study

What we did, and what the ad account shows.

The starting point

A heat pump installation company handed us its Google Ads account a few weeks before peak season. Campaigns were running, but had not been touched since they were first set up.

The challenge

In this market clicks are expensive and competitors bid hard. The account was spending without bringing in enough quote requests, and the season left no room to learn along the way.

What we activated

The platforms actually used on this account, and the work carried out on each.

Google Ads, search network

Catch demand at the moment it forms

  • Audit of existing campaigns and of the keywords spending without ever converting
  • Irrelevant queries excluded, to stop paying for clicks leading nowhere
  • Ads rewritten around the real intent, requesting a quote, rather than a simple visit
  • Bids refocused on the areas and times where requests actually come through

The campaign creatives

The angle behind each visual, and why it works in this market.

Warmth, made desirableConversion

Warmth, made desirable

We don't show the unit on a wall, we show what it produces: a source of warmth that radiates while it freezes outside. The benefit before the spec sheet is what triggers the quote request.

The hardware, made reassuringConsideration

The hardware, made reassuring

The machine rendered in knitted wool instantly says comfort, care and craftsmanship. In a market where people first hesitate over the installer, the image builds trust before a single word.

Warm inside, while it freezes outAwareness

Warm inside, while it freezes out

No product argument, just a feeling: the golden interior shielded from the frost. For audiences who haven't searched yet, we sell the comfort gained rather than the equipment.
