Case Studies of Businesses That Have Used Branding and Lead Generation Techniques to Great Effect 

1. New Landing Page With Video Chatbot – Tate Law

Tate law had a normal landing page with information about its founder and a CTA button that took to the video about the process.

Later, the law firm created a new landing page with a clear CTA button (Get My Free Call) that directly takes users to schedule a call.

An interactive video chat box was also added to the website that has an intro video with the text “How Can I Help You?” This will lead users to see the pre-recorded videos, and they are also given an option to schedule a call.

“In the context of a lead generation fulcrum, these two factors [reducing the steps required for the customer to convert and adding video answers to common questions] increase the weight of the perceived value, thus tilting the fulcrum the way we want,”

Tate

As a result, with the new landing page, the number of call schedules increased by 654% with a conversion rate of 6.74%. The original landing page has a conversion rate of just 1.03%.

2. Keyword Strategy for Software Company – Ubisense

Ubisense, with an intention to promote the Granter report, launched a Google Ads campaign. The campaign’s expression was around 200 to 500 per month, with CTR between 0.2% to 0.8%. These numbers were not sufficient to guarantee the number of downloads.

At first, keywords were bids that described the product. Here, it was bid for “Granter-related” keywords like, “Gartner magic quadrant, Gartner MQ, and Gartner location services 2020.”

This did not bring in results as expected.

“A new strategy was needed. This is when I came up with the idea of bidding for keywords that did not describe the product, but issues that the report was solving. So rather than bidding for Gartner-related keywords, I started bidding for real-time location software,”

Stefania Borchia, Digital Marketing Manager, Ubisense

Later it was bid for “RTLS,” “UWB,” “real-time location,” and “indoor location services” (RTLS is an abbreviation for “real-time location software” and UWB is an abbreviation for “ultra wideband”).

This new strategy brought in more numbers: impressions increased tenfold, CTR fivefold, and conversion rate twelvefold.

3. Gym Spends on Facebook Ads – Intent91

The Facebook ad has generated nearly 283 leads for Intent91. After trying a range of options for CTA buttons, they tried out “Learn More” which generated more leads. A video with Lean More CTA drives higher engagement, making it more personalized and is also preferred by the audience.

“We’ve tried a range of different options and have found ‘learn more’ generates more leads, and we are assuming because it’s less demanding and harsh for the consumer and is more enticing”.

Branford, Marketing Executive, Intent91
