Project features

Advertising campaign was controlled by client himself pretty appropriate. There were profitable leads, but lack of them eventually. The problem was in the project scaling. Increasing budget and cost per click had led to more expensive cost per lead without significant growth amount of them.
There was necessity in growing up the amount of leads, remaining current cost per lead at that moment.
Arose the hypothesis: to increase amount of traffic from Google Ads, using other types of channels (remarketing, GDN). After that to convert all that visitors on Facebook, using remarketing audiences, that should have led to more leads with appropriate cost per each.

We used 2 audiences:

    Remarketing audience

There is an essential advantage of video ad on the screen. Cost per lead is pretty much better compared to the ads with static banners. If we had switched off ads with banners, we would have reduced average cost per lead more.

CTR was near 5-6%. Also screen shows a high involvment of the video ad, based on enough amount of reactions and shares.

Conclusions:

This approach is showing that search traffic can be “donor” of less involved audience for Facebook Ads campaigns. This method opts out potential customers from extremely competitive place in Google Search, focusing their attention on a separated ad place in Facebook and Instagram.
Also, we should notice the fact of more essential results of video ad, compared to banners.
