The Conversion Optimiser: Converting Pronto

Neo Network Srl uses the Google Conversion Optimiser to save time, attract more leads and increase conversions by 15%.

With offices in Milan, New York, Rome and Genoa, Neo Network Srl is a wireless application provider focused primarily on the Italian market. The company offers services including TV production, web marketing and content development. One of its primary products is "The Club", a subscription-based chat service, billed on a weekly basis to premium SMS mobile phone users.

Neo Network Srl had been using Google AdWords successfully for months to find new customers for The Club. But the company is always on the lookout for ways to spend less time managing AdWords campaigns and more time focusing on core operations.

 The main advantage of the Conversion Optimiser is that you don't have to bid keyword by keyword."

Then Neo Network discovered the Conversion Optimiser, a new AdWords bid management feature that can help advertisers save time and improve AdWords campaign performance. The company was particularly attracted to the way the Conversion Optimiser allowed it to set a single maximum cost per acquisition (CPA) bid and begin managing the cost-per-click (CPC) bids for all its keywords automatically. "The main advantage of the Conversion Optimiser is that you don't have to bid keyword by keyword," says Paolo Mardegan, premium business director for Neo Network.

Once Paolo set his CPA bid, results were immediate. Just a week after activating the Conversion Optimiser, its AdWords ads were generating 90 percent more impressions and nearly 40 percent more click-throughs. In addition to reducing the time Neo Network spends managing its AdWords account, the Conversion Optimiser has resulted in a 15-25 percent increase in the number of qualified leads coming to the company's website. Overall, the company has increased conversions by 15 percent while maintaining a constant CPA bid.
