Social Media Success

Now, it’s worth mentioning that RW wasn’t just some random upstart when we came on board. They already had a rock-solid online presence and a social media game that was off the charts. 

We’re talking about a massive following on various platforms, thanks to their eye-catching visual content, rave reviews, and top-notch customer relationships. In fact, their fans couldn’t stop singing their praises, which led to 5 Star high ratings on Google and Yelp. 

But even the best of the best can run into some roadblocks. That’s where we stepped in to help Rapid Wraps overcome their challenges and shift their growth into high gear. 

Now let’s dive into how we turned things around and helped Rapid Wraps & Tint reach new heights in the wrapping industry! 

Challenge

Challenge

Inconsistent and unpredictable jobs

Alright, so let’s dive into the challenges that Rapid Wraps & Tint faced before we got involved.

Sure, they were already a big player in the local wrap market, but their lead and referral pipeline was like riding a roller coaster—thrilling at times but also full of unexpected twists and turns. 

Even with a strong social media game on Instagram and Facebook, getting leads was a wild guessing game. One moment, they’d be swamped with work, and the next, they’d be twiddling their thumbs, waiting for business to pick up. 

To make matters worse, the owner found himself buried in low-paying jobs just to keep the cash flow going, leaving little time for marketing on social media or growing his team. Talk about a vicious cycle! 

And just when you thought things couldn’t get any trickier, “busy” became the enemy, holding the owner back from chasing those big, juicy opportunities with fleets and large contracts. 

But some of their online marketing was also mixed up… 

Their online marketing was a bit of a mess, too. 

With three separate websites and two Google Business Profiles, they were sending mixed signals to Google, leaving the sweet potential of organic SEO and map traffic untapped.

Get more leads

When we first began working with them, we had a clear goal in mind: to help them generate more leads and bring in more business. 

To do this, we started by building a lead generation and lead capture website that would allow us to target and connect with potential customers effectively. 

From there, we set up Facebook and Instagram ads specifically for wraps and Google Ads campaigns for wraps, auto glass, and tint. 

These campaigns were designed to reach a wider audience and drive more traffic to the website, increasing the chances of capturing leads and closing sales

With a clear and focused approach, we were confident that we could help Rapid Wraps achieve the results he was looking for.

What didn’t work?

Nothing ever goes exactly as planned. And while there wasn’t anything that didn’t work at all, this is an example of the problem of too many good leads.

Facebook Ads couldn’t compete with Google Search Ads

Facebook Ads couldn’t compete with Google Search Ads

All of RW ads were performing great, but as a small company, it takes time to grow. You’ve got to find, hire, train, and trust an employee before banking on them. It’s not like you snap your fingers and you’ve got increased capability. 

Facebook/Instagram Ads were producing good results, well within the range of our target ROI. The management at Rapid Wraps & Tint tracked the calls and determined that the leads from Google were superior quality to the FB leads. And Google Ads were around 12% less cost per lead.

Warning from Google Ads!

“Limited by budget” Warning from Google Ads!

Getting this warning from Google Ads is the kind of problem YOU WANT to have. It means you can increase your budget significantly and still expect a similar ROAS. Google is telling you there are a huge number of leads available every day, week, or month at a similar price whenever you want to increase their budget. Pretty good problem to have! 

And this is the problem Rapid Wraps found itself in. So even though the leads on Facebook would have been profitable all day long, the leads at Google were better and cheaper.

YouTube Ads couldn’t compete with Google Search Ads

YouTube Ads couldn’t compete with Google Search Ads

RW has produced amazing video and social media content. We were lucky enough as an agency to have great creative to work at the start of the relationship. Using this content on YouTube worked great… it produced over 135k impressions in a highly targeted market. 

The management at RW commented that people were mentioning seeing their ads and it was starting to buzz. But in the end the conversions cost over three times more Google Ad conversions. It’s just too expensive when you can go buy more targeted leads turning into profitable jobs with that extra budget moved over to Google Search Ads.

How did we correct it?

Alright, so let’s dive into the juicy part—how we turned things around and made the most of the advertising budget for Rapid Wraps & Tint. 

First things first, we didn’t just sit around moping when we realized that Facebook/Instagram and YouTube ads couldn’t quite keep up with Google Search Ads. Oh, no! We rolled up our sleeves and took a bold move to ensure RW got the best bang for their buck. 

Here’s what we did:

Embrace the “Limited by budget” warning: Instead of freaking out about Google Ads’ warning, we saw it as a golden opportunity to score even more leads at a similar cost. We realized there was a treasure trove of high-quality leads just waiting for us on Google Ads, so we decided to shift gears and focus on what worked best. 

Play to our strengths: We knew that Google Ads offered higher quality leads at a lower cost than both Facebook/Instagram and YouTube ads. So, we thought, “Hey, why not go all-in on Google Search Ads and make it rain leads for RW?” 

Budget reallocation: It’s like they say, “You’ve got to know when to hold ’em and know when to fold ’em.” We pulled the plug on Facebook/Instagram and YouTube ads (even though they were doing okay) and redirected all that sweet, sweet ad budget to where it would make the most impact—Google Search Ads. 

Keep an eye on ROI: We never lost sight of our goal—to maximize Rapid Wraps & Tint’s return on investment. By reallocating the budget, we made sure every penny spent on advertising was working harder and smarter, bringing in more of those high-quality, profitable leads. 

And guess what? It totally paid off! RW started seeing an even better return on their ad spend, and those Google leads kept on coming.

By staying flexible and focusing on what worked, we supercharged RW’s advertising efforts and helped them grow their business like never before.

Now, that’s a marketing success story!
