Executive Summary

Built and optimized local Google Ads campaigns for a preschool & daycare network. Launched Performance Max, added remarketing lists, refined keywords, and refreshed creatives to improve CTR. Integrated CRM tracking for lead quality insights. Achieved stable CPL with higher enrollment inquiries, improved audience targeting, and stronger ROI from automated bidding and creative testing.

01. The Challenge

A preschool and daycare network wanted to increase inquiries and enrollments through digital channels. They relied heavily on local search campaigns but lacked creative testing, targeting precision, and proper bid management.

- Generic keyword targeting leading to irrelevant clicks.
- No remarketing structure or customer segmentation.
- Outdated creatives with poor CTR.
- Budget mismanagement and inconsistent lead flow.

02. Strategy & Execution

I restructured the campaigns to make them lean, localized, and conversion-focused:

  • Introduced Performance Max campaigns to blend search, display, and video exposure.
  • Created custom audience signals around parental intent, local communities, and educational interests.
  • Added remarketing lists for users who visited inquiry forms but didn’t convert.
  • Implemented keyword pruning and added extensive negative keywords.
  • Refreshed creatives with emotional storytelling — featuring daycare visuals and testimonials.
  • Shifted bidding from Manual CPC → Maximize Conversions → Target CPA to stabilize CPL.
  • Applied time and device bid adjustments to optimize for parents’ active hours.
  • Integrated CRM dashboards to track lead source and conversion paths.


Robust Conversion Tracking Setup: The accuracy of conversion tracking was verified through Google Tag Manager, and campaign-level conversion goals were aligned with desired outcomes. The initial bidding strategy was set to maximize conversions.

03. Results & Impact

After 6 months of iterative optimization:

  • Lead volume grew significantly while maintaining a stable CPL.
  • Improved conversion consistency across campaigns.
  • Better quality inquiries — more ready-to-enroll parents.
  • Automated bidding and remarketing led to sustained performance with less manual input.

04. Key Learnings

- Emotional and trust-driven creatives perform exceptionally well in daycare niches.
- Combining remarketing with location-based bidding can enhance both lead volume and intent quality.
