Before

What was holding the account back.

Augusta Precious Metals needed a paid advertising system that could turn spend into measurable business outcomes, not just traffic. The account had to connect Google Ads and PPC campaigns, conversion tracking, landing-page alignment and follow-up quality so every important action could be judged clearly.

The core issue was not simply a lack of clicks. The campaign needed cleaner structure, sharper intent or audience segmentation, stronger message match and more dependable conversion data before more budget could be trusted.

For a financial services business, weak tracking and broad campaign logic can hide the difference between cheap activity and profitable demand. The rebuild focused on making the account easier to read, easier to control and easier to scale.

Result

What changed after the rebuild.

The result section is evaluated through the metrics that matter most for the business: +200% searches, 5 extra conversions, $19 CPA. The important lesson is that paid media performance improved because the account became more intentional, better tracked and more connected to the buyer journey.

Rebuild process

Before, rebuild and after.

Every strong paid ads result has a mechanism behind it. This breakdown explains the account logic, not just the final numbers.

Before

Before the rebuild, campaign data was harder to trust and budget could move into weak search terms, mixed intent or landing pages that did not fully support the offer.

Rebuild

The rebuild tightened campaign architecture, clarified keyword intent, improved negative keyword control and connected the ads more closely to the landing-page promise.

After

After the rebuild, the account produced a clearer path to performance: +200% searches, 5 extra conversions, $19 CPA. The result showed how paid search improves when intent, tracking and post-click experience work together.

Actions

The work behind the performance.
