B2B Real Estate SaaS: Google Ads Transformation
How we more than doubled conversion effectiveness while cutting spend by over 50%, proving that growth comes from better demand—not more traffic.
Executive Summary
Over a 12-month period, this B2B SaaS client achieved a dramatic improvement in Google Ads efficiency—more than doubling conversion effectiveness while cutting spend and traffic by over 50%.
Rather than chasing volume, the strategy focused on intent quality, structural clarity, and conversion alignment. The result: more conversions, at less than half the cost per acquisition, with significantly cleaner demand.
Despite halving spend and traffic, we generated more conversions at less than half the CPA—proving that growth comes from better demand, not more traffic.
Starting Point: Before Vitara
Before our involvement, Google Ads performance was characterised by several inefficiencies that limited ROI:
- High traffic volume but low efficiency
- Broad keyword targeting with limited intent separation
- Generic landing pages not aligned to search intent
- CPA constrained by wasted spend
Budget was being spent on volume rather than quality, resulting in high costs and inconsistent conversions.
