Reducing Media Waste For A 13-Year-Old Google Account

Rubber Tracks Experts (RTW) is a leading distributor of rubber tracks, established in Asia, now serving the United States with multiple stocking locations.

Problem Overview

Rubber Tracks Experts (RTE) came to Bonsai last year requesting an audit of their Google Ads account to improve performance. RTE had 13 years of owner-managed Google Ads, with occasional assistance from outside help. Recommendations from outside often included adding hundreds of keywords to increase performance, or bidding up during off-season to drive traffic.

Bonsai’s Approach

While important, we understand keywords are only part of the puzzle in our Google Ads Bid Algorithm.

Analyze

Bonsai analyses day of the week, time of day, location, and user search intent to find the best value for the right customer at the right time.

Customize

Using all of these ingredients, Bonsai finds the best value click at the right price, reaching more customers with an appetite to convert.

Maximize

The answer doesn’t just mean adding keywords or increasing budgets but maximizing Google’s technologies to drive the most value possible for every dollar invested.

Know the Client & the Goals

What does it matter if you get a click to your website if there is no positive outcome from that click? Bonsai builds a custom measurement platform unique to your business to best measure results. Ad calls, site click-to-calls, chat bot interactions, request forms, online commerce, or integrations with any point-of-sale pipeline are all core to our service. Knowing your business is the essential step in our process. What did this mean for RTE?  Bonsai identified that the highest value came from a customer phone call. Bonsai then curated the ads to value phone calls above other conversions, which unlocked exponential return growth for RTE. Our performance marketing service starts with establishing a proper measurement platform to verify we are getting the best outcomes per dollar spent.

Results

Since Bonsai started managing RTE’s Google Ads, YOY in total CPCs are down 26%, spend down 19%, clicks up 10%, and phone calls up 1889% with a continued positive trajectory. We cannot wait to see how the busy season unfolds with Bonsai’s approach to a legacy Google Ads business.
