J Austin & Sons is a client of ours in the GTA looking to gain qualified leads for their building material sales.

Leaning into customer behaviour when seeking out new products and services on Google as a signal they’re ready to buy, we’ve set up search ads that only appear at the top of the search results page to the very specific target audience, in the targeted area, so our client’s brand shows up while their offering is being actively sought-after.

From an awareness perspective, their brand name appeared 6,600 times in the last 30 days at no ad cost to the advertiser and drove 140 new prospects to their website at a cost per click (CPC) of $2. The real ROI is looking at the 39 calls, emails and other website engagements they received for >$8 each. With an approximate AOV of $220, that’s nearly $8k of revenue ready for their sales team to win

Wolf Creek Building Supplies was spending too much money on traditional marketing efforts such as flyers, radio spots, and exterior signage but couldn’t determine a particular sales boost from these investments. Furthermore, they had a goal to reach a particular customer segment and the targeting was so broad across these traditional channels, they couldn’t be sure if they were reaching them.

Without providing additional marketing budget, they shifted resources over to the Web Conductors team to develop an online strategy to reach their target audience with search engine marketing. Now they have the ability to very specifically target their customer (by age, profession, interests, geographical region, etc.) and monitor the results that are being tracked as their customers engaged with their online advertising (sees an ad, clicks on an ad, shops the website, requests a quote, all of it!).

In just under a year, one location invested approx. $2,500 in ad spend that achieved 492 conversions. That’s around $5 per conversion. As an example of what the return on their investment is; if their average ticket is $75, that’s nearly $75k in revenue Wolf Creek Building Supplies can enjoy because they were able to better reach their target market with digital marketing!
