Goal
Increase lead count and conversion rate
Business situation
Unitrends spends a significant amount per month on Google Ads (formerly AdWords) campaigns. To justify this expenditure, the Unitrends marketing stack needed to be powerful enough to ensure high ROI for their PPC campaigns. The ongoing struggle to design and custom code post-click landing pages that converted was causing Unitrends to fall short of their ROI goals. With several highly targeted lead generation campaigns in the pipeline, Unitrends identified the missing a piece in their marketing stack: they needed a better post-click platform.
A team of power-users means money saved
The Unitrends marketing team quickly became Instapage power-users, with anywhere between 5-10 team members developing post-click landing pages across multiple marketing channels. The ROI that Unitrends realized with Instapage transcended increased conversions. By not having to hire additional team members or a marketing agency to custom build their post-click landing pages, Unitrends has saved nearly $150,000 in the last 12 months.
A/B testing functionality to analyze and duplicate
After becoming an Instapage customer, Unitrends began regularly A/B testing their post-click landing pages to determine firsthand what combination of elements converted the best. Once their post-click landing pages were created, analyzed, and fully optimized, Unitrends easily duplicated them for localized campaigns. They now have 500+ custom-built page experiences used in their PPC campaigns.
Results
With 500+ optimized post-click landing pages published using Instapage, Unitrends reached their measurement goals by increasing both their conversion rate and lead count:
- 22.5% increase in conversion rate
- 27% average conversion rate
- 154% increase in lead count since August 2016
Summation
Unitrends used Instapage to revitalize their PPC campaigns with Instapage and increased both their conversion rate and lead count. Not only has the marketing team earned more ROI out of their Ads expenditure on Google; they have also kept cost down by not having to increase their team headcount.
Instapage has become a pillar of our demand generation activities. We use it for all of our targeted marketing campaigns, including PPC campaigns, email marketing, and webinars.
