Google Ads Case Study: Conversions At A $6.13 Cost Per Lead

Well managed Google Ads is not about spending more, it is about spending on the right clicks. In this account, one month of focused management produced 352.90 conversions from 2,620 clicks, at a $6.13 cost per conversion, on a total spend of $2,160.

These are real numbers, taken directly from the account's Google Ads dashboard over a 30 day period. We have kept the client name private, so the figures are the actual results, only the brand is withheld.

The challenge

Spend Without Enough To Show For It

The problem most accounts have is not the budget, it is where the budget goes. Ad spend leaks into the wrong searches, broad keywords that sound relevant but never convert, clicks from people who were never going to buy, and campaigns that are not measured properly, so nobody knows which rupee is working. The result is a rising cost per lead and a nagging sense that Google Ads does not pay off.

The goal here was simple to state and harder to do: turn the spend into a predictable stream of conversions at a cost per conversion the business is happy to pay, and be able to prove it.

The approach

What We Did

Tighter targeting, less waste, and proper measurement on every campaign.

  • Restructured the account

    We split search and display into clear campaigns with tight ad groups, so budget and bids match the intent behind each search.

  • Cut the wasted spend

    We added negative keywords and trimmed the searches that were spending money without converting, so more of the budget reached buyers.

  • Wrote ads that earn the click

    Clear, relevant ad copy lifted the click-through rate above 7% on the core search campaigns, which lowers cost per click and improves quality score.

  • Tracked every conversion

    We set up proper conversion tracking so every lead is counted and each campaign can be judged on cost per conversion, not guesswork.

  • Managed bids and budget

    We shifted budget towards the campaigns and keywords that convert cheapest, and paused the ones that do not earn their place.

  • Reviewed and refined weekly

    PPC is not set and forget. We check the search terms, costs and conversions regularly and adjust, so the account keeps improving.

The result

Predictable Conversions At A Cost That Works

Over the 30 days, the account produced 352.90 conversions from 2,620 clicks on a total spend of $2,160, a cost per conversion of $6.13. The core search campaigns held click-through rates above 7%, well above the typical benchmark, which keeps click costs down and quality scores up. That is the difference between an account that drains budget and one that turns spend into a steady flow of leads.

Good PPC is not magic, it is discipline: send the budget to the clicks that convert, cut the ones that do not, and measure everything.

Because every conversion is tracked, the client can see exactly what each lead costs and scale with confidence. When you know your cost per conversion and it is a number the business is happy with, spending more simply means more leads.
