The Challenge

What we were working with.

New account, no historical data, no conversion history, no Quality Scores. The conventional wisdom is that new Google Ads accounts need 3-6 months of learning before they perform. This dermatology practice needed results fast and couldn't afford to wait through a slow ramp-up period.


Our Approach

How we built the campaign.

We bypassed the slow learning curve by launching with a highly structured account that gave Google's algorithm exactly what it needed to optimize quickly. Tight single-keyword ad groups for the highest-intent dermatology searches. Landing pages that matched search intent precisely. Conversion tracking live from day one, capturing calls, forms, and chat. Manual CPC bidding in the first two weeks to accumulate quality conversion data, then a carefully calibrated transition to Smart Bidding once the signal was strong enough.


The Results

What the numbers say.

304 conversions in the first full month at $7.86 CPA — a result that would impress even a mature, well-optimized account. The 20.9% conversion rate reflects how well the keyword architecture and landing pages were matched: high-intent patients arriving at pages built for their specific search intent, not generic practice homepages.
