High-Performance PPC Optimization for a Dental Practice
After managing an already active Google Ads campaign, our team identified opportunities to drive higher-quality conversions at a lower cost.

Each adjustment was guided by real-time data, ensuring that every click brought stronger intent and higher value.
Within just one month, the results were clear: the campaign achieved over 216 conversions, the conversion rate jumped past 42%, and the cost per lead dropped by more than $12. This case study highlights how a strategic optimization process can turn steady performance into a high-converting, cost-efficient growth engine.
