Solution
Testing target groups, channels, and designs against each other during wave 1. Applying the results of these AB tests during wave 2 to show the best performing ads to their target audience.
A big goal for 2020
Their goal in 2020? By positioning them as thought leader, we boosted the number of downloads of the Insulation Barometer on their website and we set up an online campaign to show the whitepaper to as many people as possible within the right target group. Important here is the conversion measurement and a better understanding of the best working variables such as copy, visuals and target groups.
A solution in 2 waves
The campaign ran for two months, divided in two big waves. During this time, Facebook and Instagram campaigns were set up, Google Search Ads and Google Display Ads were running, and finally a LinkedIn Ads campaign went live.
Wave 2
During the second wave, the results of the AB-test could be applied and the budgets were optimized based on this. We noticed that the technical drawings with a lot of text performed significantly better than the polished mockups (see image below). The copy was adjusted by the results of the dynamic Facebook, Instagram and Google Search ads and we dropped the the Google Display ads.
Besides adjusting the ads, we also started working on the website. Here the landing page was optimized for conversion based on our advice and we did an SEO audit where we paid extra attention to, for example, the size of the images, the content and the meta tags. We went deeper into the content and the missing call to actions that could help bring down the bounce rate of important entry point landing pages.
The result?
After adjusting the ads, and the SEO optimizations from wave 1:
- 220% more conversions
- 550% more traffic
- 194% more rach
- 8% higher CTR
- 2,85% higher conversion rate
- 42% decrease in cost per lead
In total, there were more than 12,000 interested people from their target group who visited the Insulation Barometer landing page. 80% of all visitors of the Recticel website were a result of our ad waves during the campaign period. And more than 1,300 whitepapers were downloaded during both waves. 72% of these are due to our ad campaigns.
