MEC Builders
The challenge
Spending $8,000 a month on Google Ads with a cost per lead of $247 and a conversion rate of just 1.2%. The ads were attracting price shoppers, not serious buyers. Three previous agencies had failed to move the numbers.
The results
“The Profile phase uncovered insights we had never seen, even after 15 years in business. The Plan gave us clarity and differentiation. The Perform results speak for themselves. This is the best marketing investment we have ever made.”
