The challenge
An HR software company wanted more people to see demo requests, in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, without a big media budget or a marketing team running it every day.
What they did
- Ran 14 campaigns on Google Search and Microsoft Ads, split by offer and country.
- Used Smart pricing: PPCmate set the price per impression automatically to win the right traffic.
- Capped frequency on all campaigns so the same person didn't see the ad too often.
- Blocked weak placements with a block list on 8 of 14 campaigns.
- Kept spend on proven placements with an allow list on 6 of 14 campaigns.
- Used day-parting on 11 of 14 campaigns to run only in the best hours.
- Adjusted bids per traffic source with Source Bids on 6 of 14 campaigns.
