Targeting the right B2B audience for Rubber Inc.’s niche aftermarket automotive products required a highly specialized approach. The complexity of the ordering process, which was closely tied to the account creation timeline and actual orders, posed a significant hurdle.
Conversion tracking within Google Ads also presented difficulties, as it needed to align accurately with client accounts and subsequent orders. Gragg utilized Google Search Network and experimented with various keyword match types to better capture relevant traffic.
Refinements were made via day-parting strategies which ensured ads were scheduled to run during business hours from Monday through Friday. Additionally, responsive search ads were optimized to cater specifically to Rubber Inc.’s B2B market segmentation.
Display service began with A/B testing of both graphics and copy. After a few weeks, Gragg was able to find the target market through geo-fencing, keywords and messaging. Syncing Gragg’s ad manager with Rubber Inc.’s HubSpot, Gragg used three different ads to target tire supplies, supplies spotlight and tire partners.
Gragg used local SEO and ongoing blog creation to complete planned objectives. Tracking was set up in mid-July of GA4 to track ecommerce sales on rubber-inc.com. August was the first full month of product sales data. Gragg delivered a weekly optimization spreadsheet via Excel or Google Docs; however, client was unable to do any site modifications until the backend update was completed.
