The challenge

Where the client started

The developer sold apartments in Limassol and got leads from Direct, but more than half were unqualified: students, agents, people with no budget. Campaigns optimised for clicks, and Metrica had no idea which leads became deals.

What we did

Our approach

We rebuilt keywords around investment and relocation intent, excluded junk network placements and added a qualifying quiz with a budget question. Deal stages from the CRM now flow back to Metrica as offline conversions — and we moved campaigns to pay-per-qualified-lead.

  1. 1Keywords: 2,400 phrases, 38% of the original list turned negative
  2. 2A quiz qualifying budget and purchase timing
  3. 3Offline conversions from CRM into Metrica
  4. 4A block list of 1,100+ network placements
