Just wrapped up an excellent call with over in our PPC Copilot group, who's doing incredible work with personal injury law firms! She shared a perfect case study of fixing a "poison" account with bad data and navigating the tricky transition to quality-focused campaigns.
🧩 The Challenge:
Kaylee took over an account in January that was previously running on broad match with 800-1200 calls per month... but 90% were irrelevant! Despite "good-looking" metrics, the quality was abysmal.
💰 The Results:
After restructuring the campaigns:
- Call volume intentionally dropped from 800 → 150 monthly
- Qualified leads increased dramatically
- Sign-ups jumped from 4 cases in January to 10 cases in March!
Key Action Items & Takeaways:
1️⃣ Budget Reallocation Strategy
- Spanish campaigns were significantly outperforming English campaigns in ROI
- Recommended gradually shifting budget from English to Spanish campaigns: Start by moving 50% of budget from underperforming English ($391 → $100) Monitor for 3-5 days before shifting remaining budget Split budget between two Spanish campaigns (DFW & El Paso) with 60/40 or 70/30 distribution
2️⃣ Experiment Testing Best Practices
- Reviewed when to use Google's experiment feature vs. simple A/B testing
- For landing page tests: Duplicate existing ads with different final URLs
- For major campaign changes: Use formal experiments with 50/50 traffic split
- Recommended cookie-based testing for faster statistical significance
3️⃣ Ad Copy Pinning Guidelines
- Generally avoid pinning RSA headlines/descriptions
- Exception: When running time-sensitive promotions that need prominent placement
- Avoid "fluff" headlines just to fill all 15 slots (quality > quantity)
4️⃣ Client Communication Excellence
- Create detailed tracking spreadsheets with qualification data
- Implement intake form changes to capture lead quality metrics
- Conduct weekly review calls with clients
- Set proper expectations before making major account changes
