The Transformation:

Once Akansha, the resource hired, had Carl's goals all lined up, she came up with a comprehensive and strategic plan.

Digging the Land

She did some good old market research to understand what she was dealing with in each service category, like attorneys, orthodontics, bookkeeping, and bankruptcy solutions. She wanted to know who her peeps were in each of these categories and what made them tick. Plus, she did some smart detective work with SpyFu, that helped her uncover the keywords her peers were targeting, observe their ad copy, and even understand their budget allocation for online advertising – you know, learning from the best.

The Game of Keywords

Then came the keywords, and Akansha dived deep into this one, armed with powerful tools like Google Keyword Planner and Ahrefs. She meticulously curated an extensive list, encompassing broad terms and hyper-specific phrases. Her strategic use of these tools ensured that the ads not only cast a wide network but also hit the bull's eye with precision, maximizing visibility in all the right places.

Creating Ad Armies

Akansha organized the campaigns like a pro. Each service category got its very own campaign, and she went even further, breaking things down into ad groups for each specific service within those categories. It was like creating little ad armies, all ready to do their thing.

Acknowledging the dynamic nature of online advertising, she continuously monitored performance metrics and made real-time adjustments to bidding strategies as the campaign progressed. This agile approach ensured optimal budget allocation, maximizing the impact of each expenditure and contributing effectively to overarching objectives.
