How to get the most from your ad spend

Ad spend works harder when campaigns are tightly targeted, landing pages are useful and performance is reviewed regularly.

Start with the right objective

Before increasing spend, be clear about what the campaign is expected to achieve: enquiries, downloads, calls, sales conversations or awareness among a defined audience.

Protect the quality of traffic

Budgets can be wasted when keywords are too broad, audiences are vague or irrelevant clicks are not excluded. Regular search term and placement reviews matter.

Connect ads to landing pages

The page people land on should match the advert, answer likely questions and make the next step simple.

Review performance properly

Useful reporting looks beyond clicks and considers enquiry quality, conversion rate, cost per lead and follow-up outcomes.

BBI perspective

Good marketing is rarely about one isolated tactic. It works best when content, search, paid activity, website structure and follow-up all support the same commercial objective.
