Unlocking ROI In Any Budget
By: Navah Hopkins
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
I am a bounty hunter of happiness and profit
(& a Star Wars nerd)
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Am focused on the business metrics
of my stakeholders (clients).
• Know when to invest and when to
hold back.
• Live for the thrill of winning for my
stakeholders.
This means I:

Talking Money is Hard – Talking Profit is Easy
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
By the end of this session, each of you will have the tools to be a fellow bounty hunter of happiness and profit
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl

Baseline/Questions to Ask
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Before We Can Begin Hunting, We Need to Do
Some Reconnaissance
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Are All Parts of the Business Equal, or Are Some
Worth More?
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Are There Hubs of High-Value Customers, or Are
They Truly Spread Out?
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Are Phone and Website Leads Equal? Do Conversion
Rates and Auction Prices Align?
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Impression Share
• Auction Price
• Conversion Rate/Value

Raising Budget is a Last Resort
– Check the Following First:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Poor Performance Caused by Lack of Budget
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Wasted Spend is the Enemy
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
If there’s a hint of wasted spend, it
can be hard to convince clients to
open up budget.
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Here’s the problem: a budget that isn’t aligned with the structure it’s asked to support will always be wasted spend
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Can your budget support 10 “top of page clicks”?
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Here’s what, “Top
of Page” looks like:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
If Not, Assess if You Can Get The Traffic With Different Search Ideas
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Check The Search Terms For The Real Heroes!
3% cheaper &
perfect
conversion
rate!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Broad Keywords Can Drag Your Budget into Unintended Auctions
162%
More
Than
Average
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
If they’re all too high, find out if clients can live
without that Traffic
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Use extensions to communicate
valuable ideas without paying a
premium.
• Bid adjustments can focus the budget.
• Lumping strategic initiatives together
can cause all to fail.
Not all profit centers are
equal:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Daily Budgets Needed For AT LEAST One Lead Based on 2019 Average CPC
Monthly
budget will be
30.4 X daily
budget
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Bing’s Auction Prices Can Be More Forgiving
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Starting Bing Is As Easy As Setting Up An Auto-Import
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Be transparent about industry costs
and whether budget expectations are
realistic.
• Offer options that work within the
requested budget.
• Give realistic timelines for growth
When crafting marketing
budgets/assessing clients:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Can’t Spend the Budget
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
It can be intimidating to ask for more budget, when
you’re struggling to spend existing budget.
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Your Campaign is Likely Losing Impression Share to Rank
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Too many targets
• Bids and auction prices not aligned
• Search volume isn’t there for
“important” keywords
Here are the most common
culprits:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
There’s only so
many signals a
budget can
accommodate
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Targeting 5+ locations without bid adjustments can cause budget allocation issues
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Different Locations Have Different Auction Prices, Search Patterns, & Time Zones
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Number of ad groups can also choke a budget: 5-7 is the golden ratio!
60% of
impressions
Budget will
only go to
“winners”
instead of
everything
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Bid to budget ratio is only part of the equation: if the bids are too low, you
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
While it is true Google can up to double your
budget, you can’t bank on it delivering premium
volume if you’re consistently under bidding
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Search volume is an important mechanic in account health
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Google’s not going to waste its time or your money on pages
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
But those pages may be important to clients
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Turn important low volume keywords into
site links/callouts
• Make a low budget “experiment” campaign
to house these ideas
• Ask the client if they’d be open to content
marketing being responsible for those
ideas.
Here are three easy
solutions:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Account is Winning
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Congratulations! You’ve vanquished your enemies
and achieved profit!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
But we’re bounty hunters of profit and happiness…
there’s always more to be had
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Can your client handle more leads or are
they at capacity?
• Is this seasonal – should we invest now, or
hold for next season?
• Should the budget go to existing initiatives,
or would you rather expand to new
platforms/parts of the business?
Before we continue:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Here is what I look for in a winning campaign
Consistently

share!
Campaign live for at least three months
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Important: Never dump large amounts of money into a winning campaign all at once!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Gradually increase budget by 10-15% each week
over a month
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
A great way to expand is to layer in display!

Client Story: Koru K9
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Budget conversations are a game of transforming “cost”
into “investment”
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• CTR
• Quality Score
• Impression Share
• Extensions
• Match-types
Clients won’t care about:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Quality of leads
• Return on ad spend
• Volume of leads (as long as quality isn’t
impacted)
• Year over year growth
• Growing the value of a customer
Clients will care about:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
If we want to grow the budget, we need to speak their language
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Meet Koru K9:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• $2,700 monthly costs
• Conversions weren’t tracking
properly
• Struggling to get enough business
to justify keeping staff
Before	We	Found	Each	Other,	
Marketing	Their	Business	Was	Stressful
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Koru K9 Had A Pretty Stellar Evolution
Benchmark (November 2015)
➔ Spend: $1,295.75(AdWords)
➔ Impressions: 30,570
➔ Clicks: 368
➔ Average CPC: $3.85
➔ Conversions: 23
➔ Conversion Rate: 6.25%
➔ CPA: $56.34
Post Optimizations (March 2019)
➔ Spend: $6,100

➔ Impressions: 59,000
➔ Clicks: 2,000
➔ Average CPC: $2.69
➔ Conversions: 225
➔ Conversion Rate: 9.6%
➔ CPA: $27.07
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Built trust by identifying and eliminating wasted
spend brought in by broad terms and
tangential searches.
• Focused budgets by geos served and replicated
winning structure across those areas.
• Layered in display to educate markets on why
their approach to training works.
How did we achieve victory?
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Naturally They
Wanted To Scale
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
We Expanded Markets!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Some Markets Really Struggled – Driving Up Costs
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
We Had To Make Some Budget Allocation Choices
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Not All Markets Deserved “Focus” On High Value Board & Train
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
The Landing Pages Had Multiple Numbers –
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Too Many Data Acquisition Sources
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
“Dog Training” Just As Broad – Worse Quality
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
• Paused dubious “dog trainer” in
favor of long-tail broad.
• Removed extra numbers
• Used “borrowed” budget to
invest in educational display
So We:
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
We Were Able To Unlock Profit In One Month!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
For Profit!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Build trust
through
transparency
about budgets
and timelines.
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Use extensions
to promote
expensive ideas
when your
budget cannot.
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Honor thy bid
to budget ratio
and conversion
rates
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Check for
alternative ways
to achieve
expensive traffic,
but if the ROI is
there, invest!
| #UtahDMC @navahf @HennesseyDgtl
Acquisition costs
go down with
increased
exposure to
brands – Display
brings the
audience!
