The Prince’s Trust – Google Ads Case Study
PPC Success Stories
More traffic and better Google Ads Grant Usage
The Prince's Trust tasked us with enhancing their exposure among key demographics, with defined objectives concerning budget management and the identification of fundraising prospects. Furthermore, our remit included promoting awareness among young people about the availability of complimentary support and services.
Within the initial month, our campaign successfully elevated online visibility, improved the click-through rate, and enhanced the conversion rate, all the while adhering to the allocated budget.
Our primary contribution was to significantly increase their web traffic. Prior to our involvement, The Prince's Trust had not effectively implemented conversion tracking, nor were they fully utilising their grant budget.
"PPC Geeks have been instrumental in allowing us to meet those goals"
“The work Siobhain and the team at PPCGeeks did brought important structure to our account. All our important metrics immediately increased, and we were incredibly appreciative of their expert handling of our many campaigns and their complexities.”

The Brief
The Brief:
- For the first few months primary focus was volume of sign ups.
- Strategy to maintain sign ups long term
- Create new campaigns to support events (e.g. Palace 2 Palace, Charity Runs, Brilliant Breakfast)
- Overhaul and optimise existing campaigns
- Create new campaigns for micro-sites
- Target a fundraising demographic to encourage sign ups & donations

- Advise on short and long term strategy
The Results
Short-Term Results:
During onboarding we saw the potential for an immediate improvement just by setting up effective conversion tracking and switching the bidding strategy to use conversion focused smart bidding. The previous use of manual CPC was capped by Google Ads Grants policy to a maximum of $2/click, so by focusing on conversions and using smart bidding we were able to massively increase their spend and sign-ups before refining their performance through campaign restructuring, best practice settings, new ad copy and an in-depth search query review.

How We Did It
How We Did It:
Initially expanding their offering by developing their Search & Shopping campaigns to run more efficiently
Ran experiments to gain insight to how broad match keywords could drive sales & other enquiries
Trialled changing the names of products to see if this made them more attractive to users
Moved some of the shopping campaigns over to Performance Max
Identifying those products that are high margin, that have a high CTR & lower CPC
Undertook market analysis to support the client launch & evolve their refurbished technology products
