01Project overview
Turn a lean ₹1L budget into a high-volume lead engine for domestic and international tour packages.
02Industry & context
A domestic and international tour operator, in a category where travellers research extensively and CPCs can be high.
03The business problem
Prove Google Ads as a viable, scalable lead channel on a modest ₹1L budget.
04Strategic diagnosis
Travellers ask many informational questions before they are ready to book. The spend had to be protected from research traffic.
05Strategic approach & execution
- 1High-intent Search campaigns targeting tour- and destination-specific queries.
- 2Lead form extensions to capture leads within the ad unit.
- 3Negative keyword management to eliminate informational travel queries.
- 4Call extensions for mobile call-to-book; bidding optimised for form submissions, not clicks.
06Results
1,880+ lead form submissions from ₹1L total spend, at ₹28.08 cost per conversion and ₹12.56 average CPC.
07What the results demonstrate
Structured around intent rather than broad reach, search can produce high-volume, low-cost leads even in an expensive category.
