The 2 PPC Quick Wins We Promised
Most small businesses waste 30–40% of their PPC budget on searches that never convert. Not because the strategy is fundamentally wrong, but because a few critical fundamentals are missed.
This page focuses on two simple PPC fixes you can implement today to improve your enquiry rate within a week, without rebuilding your campaigns or increasing ad spend.

Quick Win 1 – Fix the Promise-to-Page Mismatch
The problem:
PPC ads often promise one thing in the search results but deliver something different once the user clicks. When ad copy and landing page messaging are not properly aligned, users hesitate, friction is introduced, and conversion rates suffer as a result.
The fix:
Ensure that the primary message, offer and call to action in your ads exactly match what the user sees when they land on the page.
Time to implement: ~15 minutes
Key steps:
- Identify the primary goal of the landing page
- Align ad headlines with the landing page headline
- Repeat the same promise above the fold
- Remove competing calls to action
Why this matters:
Even small inconsistencies between ads and landing page messaging can significantly reduce enquiries, bookings or sales.
Expected impact: Higher conversion rate and Quality Score
Quick Win 2 – Stop Paying for Low‑Intent Searches
The problem:
Many PPC accounts spend a significant portion of budget on searches that look relevant but never convert into enquiries or sales. These low‑intent searches drag down performance and waste budget that could be better invested in higher‑value traffic.
The fix:
Identify and exclude low-intent searches so budget is focused on terms that are far more likely to convert. Over time, this quietly drags down performance and wastes spend.
Time to implement: ~30 minutes
Key steps:
- Review search terms reports regularly
- Identify patterns in non‑converting queries
- Add negative keywords to remove wasted spend
- Monitor changes to cost per conversion
Why this matters:
Reducing wasted spend improves efficiency immediately and allows budget to be redirected towards higher‑intent searches without increasing overall spend.
Expected impact: Lower wasted spend and improved cost per conversion
