Long-time client PIRTEK has utilized many different services from IDS over the years. PIRTEK wanted to increase the number and quality of franchise leads coming in while reducing the cost per click, so they turned to IDS to see how our marketing and display advertising services could help.
PIRTEK and IDS work together on content, social media, SEO, and more, so it made sense to work together to help lower the average cost per lead.
IDS worked with PIRTEK to create a customized PPC ad campaign. The Google Ads campaign was designed to increase number of qualified leads and reduce costs. IDS utilized highly targeted SEM and display campaigns to get impactful results with our client's unique goals in mind.
Our team at IDS reworked the entire PIRTEK ad campaign. The paid media strategist assigned to the task took the time to do a deep-dive analysis of all things PIRTEK, including their previous campaigns, consumer and franchise development sites, keyword research, ad copy, calls to action, and target audience, to determine the best course of action forward.
The strategist’s research revealed that by listing all of PIRTEK’s services, they were able to discover more franchise keyword opportunities. They also updated the ad copy to incorporate more of Google’s best practices and created copy that was based on new keyword research and better directed toward franchise prospects.
Our team also edited the calls to action in the copy, so interested prospective franchisees could more easily apply upfront instead of having to dig through the site to do so. In this same vein, the paid media strategist also ensured the ads had extensions with more information to compel leads to apply. The strategist made a point of remarketing the audience and visitors to feed back into Google, so more qualified prospects are able to see the ads as well. They noted that by marking leads as quotable can help further optimize leads and find users with similar profiles.

IDS monitors PIRTEK’s SEM ads to ensure they are getting the most click-through conversions for their budget and to determine which ads are most effective for the best possible results and more.
