Client’s Challenge: Ineffective ad spend, low-quality leads, unclear audience targeting, and inefficient conversion process
Before Our Strate- gy:
Before we stepped in, here’s what the roofing company’s marketing looked like:
- Ad Spend: $5,000 was allocated to Facebook Ads without any clear strategy for audience targeting or ad optimization.
- Lead Generation: Despite the high spend, the company was only generating low-quality leads with little intent to purchase.
- Sales Process: Leads were either not being followed up on or were being followed up too late, leading to long sales cycles.
- Conversion Rate: With ineffective targeting and a lack of optimized ads, their conversion rate was much lower than it should have been, meaning they weren’t getting a good return on their investment.
