This client may sell one elaborate front door directly to the Home Owner or supply a Contractor with 30 interior doors for an entire home. Traffic volume is significant in this keyword space, thus the issue is more one of pruning unwanted traffic than getting every possible click. When we first started running these campaigns the website was designed in such a way that the client would get 5 phone calls for every 1 online lead / quote form.
Quote forms are preferable because of the detailed information provided by the consumer that allows the Sales Executive time to gather detailed information before contacting the prospective buyer. Quote forms also allow Light Stream Marketing to collect keyword conversion data which is then used to optimize our campaigns.
On the advice of Light Stream Marketing, the site was redesigned to emphasize the Quote forms. The number of quote forms tripled and the ratio of quote forms to calls is now about 1 quote form for every 2 calls.
Because the traffic is so heavy, the goal is to steadily optimize / expand these campaigns while reducing the cost per lead. The majority of this client’s business now comes from our efforts.
