How an E-commerce Development Agency Achieved 7x ROI Through Highly Targeted Lead Generation
Key success factors
The challenge
The client builds complex online stores using Shopify, WooCommerce and Laravel. They wanted to grow their international presence. Specifically, they needed more leads from the UK and Scandinavia. The market for developers is crowded. It is hard to stand out when you offer everything to everyone. They needed a partner to help them find the right projects. They wanted leads that would actually turn into $50,000 contracts.
How we delivered the results
We started with a broad search strategy. We used Google Ads to test different keywords across several regions. This allowed us to see where the real demand was. It is better to let data dictate the path than to guess.
The data showed that WooCommerce development had the highest intent. We stopped spending money on general terms. We focused our budget on specific development keywords. We also used Meta to reach people interested in the WooCommerce ecosystem.
We added a small retargeting layer. This kept the brand in front of people who had already visited the site. We were very honest in our ad copy. We mentioned the client’s physical location in every ad. This meant people who did not want to nearshore did not click. It saved the client money. It also meant the leads we did get were already comfortable with the agency’s setup.
Key results
- The campaign generates an average of 1 high-quality lead per week.
- Potential project sizes range from $50,000 to $100,000.
- The estimated ROI for the campaign is 7x.
- The client successfully entered new international markets.
