In the bustling European fintech landscape, the race for bolstering profitability is reaching new heights, as we step into 2023. Strategically situated at the intersection of innovative finance and cutting-edge tech, the primary role of successful Google Ads campaigns in this context simply cannot be understated. Harnessing the power of Google’s target impression share has become a prevalent practice for fintech businesses striving to amplify their brand campaigns. The underlying hypothesis being the possibility to cut down the Cost-Per-Click (CPC) without any detrimental effect on traffic and conversions.
Yet, the race to the top does not come without hurdles. The dynamism of ad queries, with peaking costs and fluctuating performances of keywords, presents significant challenges. Google’s preference for reach over control has driven a dangerous inclination towards using broad match for generic keywords, leading to obscured visibility and loss of control over ad placements.
Moreover, the complications are further accentuated when smart bidding is deployed without any CPC cap, imparting negative impacts on brand campaigns. The use of target impression share on campaigns with mixed match types only compounds these issues, rendering the situation ever murkier.
Search, inherently equipped with a superb predictive capability, offers a reliable guide when the circumstances remain stable. Nevertheless, impending changes introduce a heavy dose of uncertainty, necessitating the combination of comprehensive data interpretation and a faith-filled approach to help businesses navigate the unsteady terrain.
In this scenario, viewing search through a scientific lens seems like a logical approach. However, capturing all impacting factors in a statistical model becomes a challenging task, evoking the significance of blending analytics with intuition.
To beguile these uncertainties, our team embarked on a detailed analysis, extracting brand keywords per week, and scraping all relevant KPIs and competitive metrics. Following this, a meticulous process of calculations and re-calculations ensued in Excel, aiming to segment the assembled data for a comprehensive understanding.
Through the labyrinth of numbers and figures, formulas for calculating common KPIs stood out as guiding lights. These included CPC, Click-Through Rate (CTR), Conversion Rate (CVR), and Cost per Acquisition (CPA). Impeccably, the complex nature of the impression share metrics was boiled down into meaningful insights to propel the profitability objectives of our fintech businesses.
Upon examining these key themes, a bold new vision emerges for restructuring PPC campaigns. While realizing the efficacy of a PPC Campaign and rationalizing its cost is a valuable endeavor, the strategic paybacks are nuanced and require a holistic approach. Importantly, acknowledging the volatility of the digital marketing landscape, and ultimately embracing change, can inspire more focused, organized, and high-yielding campaign strategies.
In conclusion, navigating the world of Google Ads is akin to a journey at sea: blending the assurance of maps (the rich datasets) and trust in the captain’s instinct (faith in informed decisions). It is the duality of this approach that provides the cornerstone to mitigating uncertainties, driving efficiency, and ultimately, scaling the heights of profitability for fintech businesses in today’s highly competitive digital economy.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
