How UpGuard Increased Leads by 372% in just 90 Days
About UpGuard
UpGuard is a global SaaS company that helps businesses manage cybersecurity risk. Their target market is broad - it includes businesses across the world that are looking for third-party risk and attack surface management software. Pre-Rocket, UpGuard had engaged with another digital marekting agency to manage their Google Ads account. Unsatisfied with the rigour and results from those campaigns, they turned to Rocket to re-vamp their Google Ads strategy and campaigns.
Challenge
The objective was clear - Rocket was challenged to improve the performane of digital marketing channels while scaling up the campaign to deliver on core metris within 90 days. Based on established benchmarks, Rocket were tasked to double the number of leads, maintain or reduce the Cost per Lead and maintain the Conversion rate from the campaigns.
One of the biggest challenges was devising a campaign for the broad target audience in terms of both geography and job job titles/roles.
Solution
Rocket's launched in to a 5-fold data-driven strategy for Upguard, focussed on growth.
- Discovery Workshop: In-depth discovery workshop with the UpGuard team to learn about their business, buyer personas and marketing approach - their product, value propositions, audiences, roadblocks, markets, goals, competitors, and the like.
- Competitor Analysis: Thorough competitor research to generate insights and identify markets with more opportunities to scale the campaigns.
- Google Ads Account Audit: Reviewed the account structure, campaigns, targeting and tactics implemented historically for the account.
- Channel Expansion Review: Evaluated the need/budget to expand the campaign to other channels to get the best result for the client.
- Tracking, Optimisation and Evaluation: Reviewed, evaluated, and added additional tracking on the account and rolled out a weekly optimisation plan, evaluating the performance of the campaign based on primary metrics (MQL, CPL and CVR) and optimising secondary metrics (Clicks, CPC, CTR and Engagement).
