The challenge

Every click cost ₹80. Every lead cost ₹1,600.

Orion Movers was competing for moving enquiries in three of India's most competitive metro markets. Expensive clicks meant fewer enquiries for every rupee spent.

The Challenge

  • Paying ₹80 for every click across Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai
  • A ₹1,600 cost per lead that made scaling all three cities hard
  • Only 3.6% of people who saw an ad clicked it
  • A Quality Score of 6/10, so Google charged a premium for each click

What Success Looked Like

  • A lower cost per click in every city
  • More enquiries without raising the budget
  • Ads and landing pages that match what each city searches for
  • A setup Orion can scale city by city

Take the health check

  1. 01

    Split campaigns by city

    Demand and competition vary between cities. One combined campaign hides what's working and what's wasting money.

  2. 02

    Pay for intent, not traffic

    Someone searching to book a move is worth far more than someone reading moving tips. Negative keywords matter as much as the ones you target.

  3. 03

    Treat Quality Score as a cost lever

    Matching ads and landing pages to the search lowers what Google charges per click.

  4. 04

    Optimise every week

    Bids and budgets set at launch go stale. Steady weekly changes based on lead data add up quickly.

  5. 05

    It works at any budget

    Cutting wasted clicks matters most when every rupee counts, so smaller movers benefit the most.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How did CGAlive lower Orion Movers' Google Ads cost per click?

We split the account into one campaign per city, focused on high-intent keywords with negative keywords to cut waste, wrote city-specific ads and landing pages that raised Quality Score from 6 to 8, and optimised bids every week. Average cost per click fell from ₹80 to ₹38.

2. How long did it take to see results?

The results in this case study were achieved within 90 days across three campaigns in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai.

3. Why does Quality Score affect cost per click?

Google rates how relevant your keywords, ads and landing pages are to each search. A higher Quality Score can lower what you pay per click and improve where your ad appears.

4. Can this approach work for a small moving company or a single city?

Yes. A city-focused structure, high-intent keywords and relevant landing pages work at any budget. For smaller businesses, cutting wasted clicks often makes the biggest difference.

5. Does CGAlive run Google Ads for other industries?

Yes. CGAlive has delivered 400+ projects for 350+ clients since 2006, across website design, SEO, branding and digital marketing.
