At Ranklee, we help service-based businesses generate consistent, high-quality leads using proven Google Ads strategies.
One of our clients, a local pipeline cleaning business in Flanders, Belgium, approached us with a common problem: their ads were getting clicks, but most leads were low quality and not converting. Their target audience spoke Dutch, and they needed a campaign that delivered measurable results.
Challenges
The business was facing several issues:
-
Low-quality leads
-
Low conversion rates
-
High CPC due to local competition
-
Wasted budget on broad keywords
-
Ads were too broad, attracting irrelevant clicks
They needed a focused Google Ads approach that could reach the right audience, improve lead quality, and reduce wasted spend.
Our Approach
We designed a custom Google Ads strategy for the client, focusing on five key areas:
1. Landing Page Optimization:
A strong landing page is critical for turning clicks into leads. We improved the client’s page by:
-
Adding a clear and strong Call-to-Action (CTA)
-
Making the page mobile-friendly for faster submissions
-
Including customer reviews and testimonials to build trust
These changes helped visitors quickly understand the service and take action.
2. Local Targeting:
To maximize relevance, we focused on Dutch-speaking regions and specific cities:
-
Targeted high-demand locations in Flanders
-
Ran ads in the local language for better engagement
-
Set up geo-targeting to reach locations with the highest conversion potential
This ensured the ads reached people most likely to request pipeline cleaning services.
3. High-Intent Keyword Targeting:
We focused on keywords that attract serious customers:
-
Used high-intent search terms related to pipeline cleaning
-
Added negative keywords to block irrelevant clicks
-
Concentrated on search campaigns only, to reach users ready to hire
This approach minimized wasted spend while driving qualified leads.
4. Ad Copy That Converts:
We tested ad copy that highlighted the client’s unique selling points:
-
Emphasized “Same-Day Service” and “24/7 Emergency” availability
-
Highlighted fast response and local expertise
-
Included strong, actionable CTAs
The optimized ads helped increase click-through rates and lead quality.
5. Bidding & Device Optimization:
We analyzed performance data to make smart bid adjustments:
-
Increased bids on mobile users, as most conversions came from phones
-
Monitored performance and adjusted daily for maximum efficiency
Ongoing Optimization Process:
After launching the campaign, we continued to refine it to improve lead quality and reduce costs:
-
A/B Testing: Tested multiple ad copies and landing pages to identify what resonated best with the audience.
-
Bid Adjustments: Fine-tuned bids based on performance by location, device, and time of day. Allocated more budget to high-performing cities and peak hours.
-
Ad Schedule Optimization: Ran ads during peak hours when people were most likely to need immediate pipe cleaning services.
-
Negative Keyword Expansion: Added new negative keywords regularly to block irrelevant clicks and refine targeting.
-
Geo-Targeting: Focused bids on top-performing regions and adjusted based on local demand.
