How did nearly 9,000 course applications come in within 5 months?

Our client offers many different courses, each with its own demand, seasonality and business priority. So we didn’t run the Google Ads account as one general campaign: we segmented the courses by priority, search volume, business importance and start date, and based every decision on the number and cost of applications.

Because of its attribution model, Google Ads can show fractional conversion numbers.

The common thread

What do the seven successful projects have in common?

Different industries, platforms and goals. Yet the way we worked rested on the same six principles in each. Click the tags to see which case study shows each principle.

01

We measure business results

Lots of clicks or visitors alone don’t make a successful campaign. We look at how many people apply, request a quote or buy, and how much each of these results costs.

02

We start with an audit and a brief

Before we launch anything, we review the ad account, the tracking and the website, and get to know the business model, the priorities and the target audience.

03

We A/B test, and the winner gets the budget

We run several creatives, texts and targeting options in parallel. In the wellness project, within the same campaign, one image brought leads for HUF 436 and another for HUF 1,209.

04

Screening questions for quality

We add screening questions to Meta lead forms, so the people who fill them in are genuinely relevant. This way the sales team’s and HR’s time goes on real prospects.

05

Strategy matters more than the cheapest CPA

Where a market is strategically important to the client, we also accept more expensive leads and keep refining the ads. We always decide together with the client.

06

We build for the long term

Results build month by month: in the SEO project with at least 24 blog posts and more than 40 quality links, and for the online shop with continuous fine-tuning of bids and campaigns.

Róbert KochGoogle review
I get expert answers to all my questions; they are a very well-prepared team. They keep developing too, so I feel I am in safe hands.
Ádám WinterGoogle review
Thank you for your work!
I check the account and the results every few days. The campaigns you launched are performing really well. Special congratulations on bringing in leads much more cheaply than the other campaigns, and even so there were 300+ conversions in 3 weeks
Dávid BertalanGoogle review
We had been looking for a long time for a team that could help us manage and develop our own ads, but until now nobody did it better than us (I was quite proud of that, to be fair). Until now! FINALLY! We have only just started working together, but we have already achieved huge results with the help of Réka and her team. Wow, what is still to come?
Thank you!
Czifra GittaGoogle review
Working with Réka and Lea is absolutely smooth and effective. We achieved great results together even in a short time. Their honesty, communication and helpfulness all contribute greatly to our positive experience. From the very first moment we felt we were getting what we expected. We recommend them wholeheartedly!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the case studies and results

What the numbers mean, where they come from, and what you can expect if you want similar results.

Where do the numbers in the case studies come from?

From the ad accounts (Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager) and Google Search Console. We have attached a screenshot to every case study, and you can also view them on this page with the “Screenshot” button on each card.

Because of the attribution model used, Google Ads can show fractional conversion numbers, which is why you see figures such as 8,947.19 applications. The SEO case study was published with the consent of Critical Path Management Kft.

How long does it take to achieve similar results?

It depends on the channel, the market and the starting point. In the logistics recruitment project the applicants came within a few weeks; for the B2B online shop the ROAS was 1.16 in the first month and 47.8 by the sixth. In SEO, we reached the first page within six months in the narrow general design market; in more saturated markets this typically takes 1 to 1.5 years or more.

That’s why we work with a minimum 6-month commitment: it takes that long to set up tracking, to test, and for the campaigns to collect enough data.

Do you guarantee I’ll get the same results?

Every business is different, and success also depends on factors outside our control: the market situation, purchasing power, algorithm changes, your value proposition, the state of your website and the inputs for the campaign. So nobody can honestly guarantee a specific number.

What we do guarantee is that we work with the same method as in these projects: we start with an audit and a brief, we test, we optimise continuously, and we communicate transparently.

What is a lead, and what does lead generation mean?

A lead is a potential prospect (a person or a company) who shows genuine interest or an intention to buy or request a quote: they fill in a form or give their email address or phone number. It’s worth more than an ad view, because it is the start of a concrete business relationship.

Lead generation is the process of winning such prospects, for example with online ads, content marketing or email marketing. Our goal is always a relevant prospect who can become a client.

What do ROAS and CPA mean?

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is the return on advertising: it shows how much conversion value each forint of ad spend brings. A ROAS of 47.8 means every forint spent brought 47.8 forints.

CPA (Cost per Action) is the cost of one conversion, for example an application or a lead. In the education project it averaged HUF 1,579.

Why do you give 6th to 9th place in the SEO case study instead of a single ranking?

Because Google’s results change dynamically: the ranking depends on the user’s search history, the location of the search, the time and algorithm updates. On the same day, for the same keyword, slightly different positions can appear.

So 6th to 9th place is a documented range: by the end of months 6 to 7 the average position was 9.3, and in the last 28 days it was 6th. The page is consistently in the organic top 10, on Google’s first page.

Which channel is right for my business?

It depends on your goals. If you need prospects or applicants quickly, Meta ads can be a good choice, as our recruitment and lead generation case studies show. If your clients actively search on Google, Google Ads and SEO put your business in front of them: one almost immediately, the other in the long run.

If you’re not sure, a 60-minute sprint audit (HUF 29,900 + VAT) or a marketing consultation helps you decide where to start.

How much does it cost if I want a similar campaign?

It’s worth outsourcing PPC ad management if you have a budget of at least HUF 300,000 a month, including ad spend and the management fee. SEO starts from HUF 200,000 a month and social media management from HUF 100,000 a month.

The exact fee depends on your needs, the campaign volume and how many countries and languages we advertise in. Request a quote and we’ll talk it through.

Can you advertise in international markets too?

Yes. In the wellness project, campaigns ran at the same time in Hungary and in the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Austria and Scandinavia, among others, and for Sales Agency we brought leads from the Spanish and British markets as well as the Hungarian one.

Abroad, costs and buying habits are different: in the wellness campaign a lead cost as little as HUF 504 in Hungary, but several thousand forints in some foreign markets. We discuss this in advance and weight the markets according to your strategic goals.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

There is no compulsory 1 or 2-year commitment, but we don’t start partnerships shorter than 6 months. In the first weeks we set up tracking and build the campaigns, and then the ad platforms need time to collect enough data. For the B2B online shop, too, the breakthrough came in month 5.

The notice period is usually 1 to 2 months, depending on the service, because the campaigns need to be wrapped up properly and everything handed over.
