Broad match quietly absorbing a third of the budget
A large share of spend was landing on broad-match search terms with no commercial intent, while the campaign's own conversion tracking only counted "page view" as a goal rather than a qualified enquiry.
- Rebuilt conversion tracking around form submissions, not pageviews
- Moved broad match into a controlled discovery campaign with a capped budget
- Reallocated the freed spend to the two search terms already converting well
Illustrative example — not client data
- Spend on non-converting broad match
- 31%
- Conversions actually being tracked
- 1 of 3 goals
- Estimated monthly spend recoverable
- £1,400–£2,100
