The challenge - Wiza had a strong organic presence and had built a powerful sales pipeline. However, they found it challenging to get on top of their high intent search queries on Google and prevent competitors from taking away the brand searches.
Wiza came to Hey Digital looking for a PPC marketing partner with an aim to build an account to scale and meet their expected results—an increasing number of new and returning customers and high-value sign-ups. 
Thus, they looked for a paid acquisition solution that would increase the overall sign-ups and purchases across Google, Facebook, Bing, and LinkedIn, while keeping the cost per sign-up under control.

Our approach - As Wiza only works with Sales Navigator, we aimed at targeting personas who were closely acquainted with this LinkedIn feature. This high-level strategy panned out into multiple campaigns across Google Search, Display, Facebook, Bing, and YouTube. 
With Wiza’s support in identifying qualified audiences and our continuous efforts to optimize for quality, their demand generation campaigns grew to generate 88% more sign-ups at a lower CPA.

Google Ads  - Search campaign restructure    -  As we scaled the budgets, Hey Digital and Wiza teamed up to tackle the rising CPA by restructuring the campaigns to include all match types within the same ad groups, instead of having them in separate campaigns/ad groups. 
The campaigns were re-grouped from multiple single keyword campaigns into 5 campaign groups based on search query intent to scale and manage budgets effectively. 
With this experiment, we managed to avoid conflicting search queries across campaigns/ad groups, which reduced the CPC by 4.4% despite scaling clicks by 79%.  Want results like these for your B2B SaaS?   Get high-quality signups and demos that convert into customers and opportunities—all with paid marketing.

Negative Keywords- Everything matters in Google Ads—even the things that may seem trivial at first, like changing the individual campaign settings, scheduling the campaigns to run on weekdays, and so on. 
To improve the campaign’s health, we rigorously updated negative keywords from search queries to maximise our intent match, which further drove an improvement in CPA.

Regional expansion - The campaigns were initially set out to target just the primary countries. However, as there were potential buyers across EMEA and APAC regions, we expanded our reach to these countries as well. 
Having checked on the quality of sign-ups across the countries, we excluded a few countries that drove sign-ups but didn’t generate purchases. 

The first purchase revenue metric helped us to scale across regions and have a better understanding of the campaigns that delivered sign-ups and purchase—thus, helping us determine the success of the global expansion.

Facebook Ads  - Optimization goal challenge - In Facebook Ads, Wiza delivered exceptionally well when the campaigns were optimized for sign-ups. However, on diving deeper into the performance, we saw that there were a few sign-ups that didn’t turn into purchases.
To tackle this, we switched the lookalike audiences and optimization goal for purchases instead of sign-ups, which in turn delivered both quality sign-ups and purchases.

Bing Ads - Utilising lower CPCs on Bing - Although Bing search campaigns are a perfect replication of Google search campaigns, we faced unique challenges and opportunities here. One such opportunity was that Bing ads had a much lower CPC, which we then capitalized on to get in front of all the high intent and brand queries at a lower cost.

Results  -  Wiza grabbed the opportunity to optimise for sign-ups by increasing their ad spend and making the most out of their campaign
Thus, with Wiza buying more exposure and the combined efforts of the team at Hey Digital, they were able to surpass their goal, achieving an 85% increase in sign-ups from Google search at a 7% lower CPA that turned into paid subscribers of the product.
