THE RECORD · Hard-water conditioners, India

Half the waste, twice the clicks

What we did: Rebuilt the Google Ads account + built the new site

$2.86 per lead, last 30 days

Aqua Conditioners was already paying Google when we audited the account. About one ad dollar in five was going to searches that could never buy: water purifiers, competitor brands.

We rebuilt the account. Exact and phrase match only, negative keywords layered in, every ad tightened to the search it answers.

The click-through rate doubled. Junk impressions dropped five-fold, at similar spend, with more leads. The click-to-lead rate went from about 7% to about 12%. Last 30 days: 58 leads at $2.86 each.

We also built them a new 27-page site with six dedicated landing pages, ready for the next stage.
