Challenges

We have encountered a number of obstacles while working with this client.

Firstly, the MOOC industry is incredibly competitive, with major players like Udemy, Coursera, and Future Learn.


Secondly, many competitors were also bidding on the client’s branded keywords in an attempt to redirect sales away from their website.

Most notably, our client was not fully equipped for direct sales through their website, as most of their sales were coming from deal listing sites like Reed and Wowcher.

 

Therefore, we had to start fresh with a comprehensive and holistic plan.

Here are some examples:

Mr. Woolley (pseudonym), the managing director of a Solar Retailer business from Australia was trying to make business with digital strategies.

He tried some so-called Gurus and burned cash in the fire but didn’t hit his growth goal.

Then, he hired us, and we applied our bulletproof PPC strategy to his business and successfully brought the ultimate result only from Google Ads.

Outcome Summary: 

We got 910 leads, $69 for each lead and this client stated that he generated over $900,000 in revenue only from Google Ads.

Omni-Channel Marketing:

We have begun by identifying specific course categories and high-demand courses that would meet a wide range of customer needs and provide maximum value. I then divided these courses into three sections:

 

Starter: We offered beginner-level courses at a very low cost, and even some for free, to ensure the highest enrollment.

 

Core Value: For intermediate-level courses, we aimed to meet the specific needs of our customers and deliver the value we promised.

 

Profit Maximizer: We developed bundled courses and advanced-level courses that were high in value and came at a higher price point.

 

After revamping products, our ads expert crafted messages for each stage of the buying journey, created landing pages, and trained internal sales and customer support teams.

PPC Campaign

We created a dynamic search campaign for Starter high-demand courses, with the intention of getting as many customers and clicks as possible, even if it meant less profit.

 

We also created search campaigns for Core Value career package courses, with high-converting ad copy and well-crafted landing pages to recover profit, and then enabled retargeting & dynamic retargeting with Google Ads & Facebook that helped to ensure maximum growth.

Incredible Result

We generated £216,537 sales and £82,320 profit just from Google Ads, eventually, our undefeated PPC marketing strategies skyrocketed their web sales from £3,100 to £33,000 and yielded nearly 10x revenue growth for this client.
