The Challenge

Allied Outdoor Solutions, a leading outdoor living enhancement provider in Houston, Texas, faced a significant challenge: they could not accurately track the revenue generated from their Google Ads campaigns.

Despite their strong market presence in key regions like DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Phoenix, the inability to attribute revenue to specific campaigns left a critical gap in their digital marketing strategy. Their high-end services, such as custom driveways and covered patios, demanded a sophisticated advertising approach that could attract high-intent customers and measure the financial impact.

Allied partnered with Optidge to refine their Google Ads strategy and implement robust tracking mechanisms to ensure that every marketing dollar spent could be directly linked to measurable revenue.

The Objective

The objectives were clear:

  • Develop and execute a Paid Search strategy aimed at achieving a 4x return on ad spend (ROAS) over the 2023 calendar year.
  • Generate leads that will result in a 300% return on investment (ROI), significantly increasing overall revenue.
  • Implement precise revenue tracking mechanisms to connect Google Ads campaigns with actual sales.
  • Optimize campaigns to target high-value customers in key service areas.

The Optidge Approach

In response to the unique challenges facing Allied Outdoor Solutions, Optidge outlined a comprehensive strategy:

1. Strategic Audit + Campaign Restructuring

We began by conducting an exhaustive audit of Allied’s Google Ads campaigns, identifying key areas for improvement.

We restructured the campaigns around core service lines like Outdoor Kitchens and Pools, aligning ad copy with user intent and optimizing ad spend.

2. Campaign Optimization + Advanced Bidding Strategies

Post-restructuring, we implemented a rigorous optimization schedule, starting with eCPC and transitioning to automated bidding strategies like Maximize Conversions.

This approach focused on quality leads, enhanced budget efficiency, and included testing on Microsoft Bing and Google’s updated Broad Match keywords.

3. Collaborative Lead Quality Analysis

We leveraged WhatConverts (software for comprehensive lead tracking) to label and score leads in real-time, transforming the data into actionable insights.

This allowed us to refine campaigns and optimize budget allocations, ensuring that every lead was effectively connected to revenue.

4. 12-Month Strategic Plan

Our strategy aligned with Allied’s long-term goals, featuring a twelve-month plan with continuous data analysis and creative planning.

Regular communication ensured our tactics remained responsive to market dynamics and aligned with Allied’s objectives.

The Outcome

The strategies we implemented resulted in substantial success for Allied Outdoor Solutions. Over the course of 2023:

  • Campaigns generated 55,421 clicks and 1,157,843 impressions, leading to 1,782 quality leads.
  • These leads translated into 169 sales, significantly surpassing the initial revenue goals by over 300% and achieving a remarkable 12.5x return on advertising investment.
