I managed Google Ads campaigns for a car rental business in Florida with the goal of generating qualified booking enquiries and phone calls.
The main challenge was attracting high intent customers while controlling cost per lead in a competitive market. I structured the campaigns around local and service based search terms, optimized location targeting, and used call focused ad copy to capture immediate demand.
Conversion tracking was set up to measure real enquiries, and ongoing optimization focused on search term filtering, bid adjustments, and improving lead quality. The result was a steady flow of enquiries at a controlled cost per conversion.

Client Problem
The business was investing heavily in Google Ads but needed a more efficient way to generate consistent, high-intent enquiries.
The main challenges were:
High acquisition costs
Inconsistent lead generation
Budget being spent on lower-value opportunities
Need to generate more enquiries without simply increasing ad spend
Lack of a scalable structure for local service demand
What I Did Different
I focused the campaign around high-intent local searches and continuously shifted budget toward the services, locations, keywords and search terms that were producing stronger conversion signals. I also reduced wasted spend by filtering irrelevant search traffic and refined the account around actual lead-generation actions rather than optimizing purely for traffic volume.
Then:
Instead of chasing more traffic, I focused on getting more value from the existing advertising budget. Performance data was reviewed regularly to identify weak areas, control wasted spend and scale the segments that were consistently generating conversions.
Results
$23.1K ad spend
1.2K conversions
$19.17 average cost per conversion
$374K attributed conversion value
A car rental website shouldn't make people think too much. It should help them find the right car, understand the price, trust the service, and book with confidence.
I designed SENE around exactly that principle.
