- Lead generation is all about playing matchmaker between your sales staff and potential customers. Your role is to create qualified opportunities for your sales staff to close! As Bryan Eisenberg would say, it’s not just about a conversion, it’s about a conversation.
- The prior ads made use of informational pitches and some basic features and benefits until the swap was made in this particular campaign.
- In this case, September’s conversion rate peaked at 3.80% until we rotated in a new offer in October for Q4. We then built around this new offer to a similar high. The other unspoken benefit of offers (especially those in use for a limited time)? You can stress the immediacy/exclusivity of the offer when possible. Calling out an expiring offer in the month of expiration led to stellar click-through, conversion, and lead-to-sale rates.However, it’s important to note that none of these offers are effective if you don’t fulfill their promise on the landing page, and do so in an effective manner. Which leads us to our next point…
- This, really, is the metaphorical representation of what your audience sees when you don’t fulfill the promise of an offer in your ad.
- In addition, it’s important to note that your offer has to be within two clicks of your landing page. Or else Google will be quite angry with you. Make sure you fulfill the promise of your ad! Habitual liars usually don’t find much love in PPC.

- This image really is correct – courtship doesn’t mirror a Jane Austen novel… it mirrors a cutting-edge Remarketing Lists for Search campaign.
