130% Laed Generation growth for a Car Dealer in 6 months
A leading BMW Gallops dealership in India aimed to increase high-quality leads for test drives, calls, form submissions, and callback requests. Despite a steady rise in ad impressions, they faced a noticeable drop in click-through rates (CTR), which limited user engagement and reduced potential conversions.
The dealership’s objective was to optimize their Google Ads account, generate more qualified leads, and maintain a healthy cost-per-lead (CPL). By refining targeting, improving ad copy, and restructuring campaigns, they sought to drive meaningful interactions, maximize engagement, and ensure their advertising investment delivered measurable results and strong ROI.
Challenge and Solutions
Decreasing Click-Through Rates (CTR):
Despite a rise in impressions, clicks were dropping significantly.
Lead Generation Pressure:
The dealership needed to attract more high-intent prospects actively interested in BMW ownership.
Cost Management:
Maintaining a healthy cost-per-lead (CPL) was critical to ensure long-term campaign sustainability.
The Strategy Implemented
Search Network Campaigns
Targeted campaigns were built around high-intent keywords such as “BMW dealership near me,” “luxury car test drive,” and “new BMW models.” Additionally, individual BMW models were targeted using different match types to ensure ads reached users actively searching for specific BMW vehicles or related terms.
Display Network Campaigns
Visually compelling display ads showcasing the latest BMW models and dealership highlights were placed across websites frequently visited by the target audience. Display campaigns were also used for retargeting previous website visitors. Custom audiences were created to target users who had previously shown interest in buying a BMW.
Performance Max Campaigns
Performance Max campaigns leveraged Google’s machine learning to optimize ad delivery across Search, Display, YouTube, and Gmail. This campaign type helped reach high-intent users more effectively across the Google ecosystem, maximizing both reach and conversions.
