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.
