The challenge

Google Ads was Ridly’s main source of leads, but the account was in disarray. Spend was low, cost per acquisition was high, budget was being wasted, and the team had lost confidence that the channel could grow the business.

→Maximise the number of successful leads
→Increase spend while lowering cost per acquisition
→Grow the business on the back of Google Ads
02

What I did

I rebuilt the account from the ground up around what actually makes Ridly money: qualified jobs, not clicks.

→Restructured campaigns and cut the wasted spend
→Shifted the focus to sales-qualified leads, not just lead volume
→Optimised continuously, so budget could scale without the cost per lead creeping back up

The result

Within a year the account was spending 200% more with a 50% lower cost per acquisition. The extra leads let Ridly put more trucks on the road, hire more staff and expand its service area across Sydney: growth that was profitable, not just bigger.
