Our Success Story

The goal

Boost PPC traffic

The overall goal was to increase the quality of PPC traffic and increase PPC leads specifically. For CTV, Gateway Kia of Warrington and Quakertown decided to use the fourth quarter of 2020 to add a CTV campaign to their traditional cable buy to see if they could reach more potential customers.

The outcome

15.61% Converted

When looking at the 90 days prior to the strategy adjustment and then comparing that range to the following 90 days, we were able to increase PPC-specific leads for Warrington by 160% and Quakertown by 246%. For CTV, both Gateway Kia stores saw an increase in traffic to their stores in just one quarter for a very minimal cost. In fact, it only cost Gateway Kia approximately $.05 for each completed view, and 15.61% of converters were influenced by Gateway Kia’s CTV Ads.

Strategy

Low funnel traffic

The strategy was to adjust our micro-moment PPC campaigns to capture higher quality traffic and increase conversions once on the website. Essentially, a micro-moment PPC campaign focuses on lower funnel traffic with customers that are already far into the steps of the purchasing process. By targeting those specific customers rather than a broad audience, the paid search campaign brought in leads that were much more likely to result in a sale.

For CTV, Sokal’s goals were clear: create custom AI look-a-like audiences built off the unique traffic to each website and then serve CTV ads to consumers who visited the website. By doing this, Sokal was able to serve ads using cross-device functionality, allowing for the ads to be viewed on multiple devices.
