“As a business with a mature paid search setup, we were at a stage where we needed to find efficiencies in order to scale advertising spend sustainably to drive lead volume. The Orange Line team have worked closely with us to achieve this by testing & implementing the most suitable paid search strategies for our business including, rolling out of broad match keywords and RSA advertisements.

Those initiatives, combined with account restructures and more granular bidding led to a major improvement in our lead acquisition costs, which has allowed us to unlock additional advertising spend – ultimately resulting in a 36% growth in qualified leads. We are excited to see further growth as these strategies are implemented across our account.”
