From €43 to €5 per lead: the anatomy of a Google Ads turnaround

When Esther’s Cookery came to us, every lead from Google Ads cost €43,66. Eleven months later, the same budget delivered leads at €5,19 — and four times as many of them. Here’s the exact playbook.

1. Stop paying for the wrong clicks

The first month is rarely about adding — it’s about removing. We audited every search term that triggered the ads and found that over 40% of budget went to searches with zero purchase intent. Negative keywords are the cheapest optimization in existence.

2. A 72-hour optimization rhythm

Optimization is not a monthly task. Our cadence: every 72 hours a quick campaign evaluation and CTR check, weekly bid strategy reviews and geo-targeting adjustments, monthly deep-dive analyses, and every 90 days a full strategy review including landing pages.

3. Send traffic to pages built to convert

Ad clicks are only as valuable as the page they land on. We rebuilt the landing page around one clear promise, social proof above the fold, and a single call-to-action. Combined with the sharper targeting, conversion jumped from 2.46% to 10.83%.

Cold email is not dead — bad cold email is. With AI handling personalization, replies and follow-ups, outbound email has quietly become the most predictable B2B lead channel we run.

The system in six steps

  1. Identify the right target audience
  2. Build & verify the prospect list
  3. Set up email domains, accounts & systems
  4. Warm up accounts, build templates & integrate AI
  5. Send emails & run automated follow-ups
  6. Monitoring & management

Our AI agent replies to every response within seconds, handles objections and books meetings straight into the calendar. In one recent month that meant 20,188 emails, a 4.9% conversion to appointments, 278 booked meetings and $183K in pipeline value.
