Performance Max campaigns were set up with incorrect primary conversion goals (Click to call), consuming a significant portion of the budget.

Improved Conversion Rates

By refining audience targeting and conversion tracking, we achieved higher conversion rates, resulting in greater revenue generation.

Poor Ad Relevance

Due to the flawed campaign structure, ads were not aligned with keywords.
