Goals

In a rapidly changing business environment, the company strives to get more out of its marketing budget by continuously improving the efficiency and growth of advertising activities. The team sought to increase the volume of net-new enterprise leads while lowering the cost per lead.

 
 

Strategy

Neo4j turned to Performance Max, optimizing this new campaign type for online form completions that result in enterprise lead generation. Partnering with VertoDigital, its performance digital marketing agency, Neo4j developed a plan to implement Performance Max with its lead-generation marketing objectives in mind. The team was able to repurpose existing creative assets from other campaigns to quickly build and launch their Performance Max campaign, enabling them to maximize their customer reach across Search, Display, Video, Gmail, and the Discover feed.

First, the team implemented offline conversion imports to allow them to measure which leads met their custom qualification criteria. They imported this data into Google Ads and Performance Max campaigns to optimize for qualified leads and increase the lead quality and quantity across channels. Using real-time reporting in Google Data Studio, they were also able to easily monitor both the quality and quantity of net-new enterprise leads delivered by Performance Max campaigns.
