The marketing manager at a New York City puppy store had been self-managing their AdWords account for several years. On average they were spending $7,500 per month on a “search” campaign. They believed they were paying for “puppy” related search terms, and could not understand why they kept receiving so many calls unrelated puppies. They consulted Captain Marketing for an analysis of their AdWords account. The Captain Marketing PPC analyst quickly uncovered a number of key issues and determined the account required a major overhaul in-order to generate a positive ROI.
Some key issues included:
Prior to hiring Captain Marketing, they continually paid for wasteful keywords like “pets”, “dogs”, “petco”, “animals”, “aspca” and many more.

Once Captain Marketing built a new campaign using the proper Keyword Match Types and added Negative Keywords, the quality of the click immediately improved. The “breed specific” ad groups improved the Click-Through-Rate over 300%. The reports below show the most popular “search terms” prior to hiring Captain Marketing along with the current report.
