Paid Media Cleanup: Our Method for Improving Lead Quality
Review practical information and choose a useful next step.
About this page
This page explains the method we follow when a paid media account needs cleaning up. It is anonymised: it describes the approach, not a specific client, and it doesn't publish client results.
When this method fits
A cleanup is usually worth doing when an account produces leads but the sales team says few of them are worth calling. The common signs are form fills from people outside your market, enquiries for services you don't offer, and a cost per lead that looks healthy on the dashboard but not in the sales pipeline. The focus is lead quality, not lead volume.
The four steps
01 Validate conversion actions and source data
Before changing campaigns, we check what the account counts as a conversion and where that data comes from. If conversion actions don't reflect real enquiries, automated bidding learns from the wrong signal, and every later decision inherits the error.
02 Identify spend leakage and weak intent
Once conversion data can be trusted, we look for spend going to searches, placements or audiences with weak buying intent: budget that produces clicks and form fills but not qualified enquiries.
03 Align campaigns with landing experiences
We then match campaigns to the pages they send people to, so the promise in each ad is carried through on the landing page and the route to enquire is clear.
04 Review qualified actions before scaling
Budget is only scaled after reviewing which actions were genuinely qualified, so growth builds on leads the sales side actually wants.
How delivery is governed
- Iterative sprint cadences aligned with commercial pipeline milestones
In practice, the work moves in short cycles, and each cycle is reviewed against what happened in the sales pipeline, not only against platform metrics.
What a comparable engagement needs
- Current access and constraints
- Priority audience and market
- Measurement and ownership
If your account brings leads your team doesn't want, a paid media audit is the usual starting point. Ongoing work is covered by Google Ads management and conversion tracking.
Frequently asked questions
Why start with conversion data rather than campaigns?
Because bidding and reporting depend on it. If the account counts the wrong actions, campaign changes can't be judged reliably.
What is spend leakage?
Budget that goes to searches, placements or audiences that rarely produce qualified enquiries.
Does a cleanup mean spending less?
Not necessarily. The aim is to move spend toward qualified demand. The budget may stay the same, or grow once quality is proven.
Why doesn't this page show client results?
It is a methodology page. Results depend on each account, market and budget, so we discuss them in context rather than publish them here.
