Catching Up with the Competition
Dissatisfied with their prior PPC manager, HealthStream was seeking a new partner to bring in
additional intelligence and analytics to their Google AdWords campaign. They lacked the traffic
needed in order to drive more sign-ups. With a target budget exceeding $80,000 annually, we were
asked to Manage an optimized, efficient AdWords campaign and integrate sales lead tracking
capabilities to determine advertising ROI.
The Goal
– Increase ROI of an existing campaign
The goal was clear, increase ROI from the existing campaign. We were tasked with researching what
had worked and what was not. We needed to design a campaign that would decrease the cost per
click but increase traffic to the website
The Succuss
After 12 individual interviews with department managers and other HealthStream staff, the AdWords
campaign was launched. We developed a lead tracking strategy and executed it with the assistance
of the website development firm. For the first time in its history, HealthStream can now accurately
track inbound sales, ROI, and other key performance metrics which has been critical in maximizing
their advertising budget. By the end of January 2020, the company reached an all-time-high for
inbound sales while allocating the smallest marketing budget in three years.
Google AdWords Done Right
The key to a successful Google AdWords campaign is targeted ad copy that funnels potential
customers to a landing page that is relevant to the copy on the ads. Then, thoroughly research
existing campaigns (if they exist) and competitor keywords. Equipped with this knowledge, we can
then spend the valuable marketing budget on the right keywords and stop wasting money on the
wrong ones. Feel like you are throwing away money? Schedule a strategy call with us to go over your
