Challenges Encountered
1. High CPC in July (₹4.24):
· Caused by limited keyword scope and competition in Women Empowerment.
· Resolved by expanding to long-tail, phrase match keywords and A/B testing ad copies.
2. Low Retargeting Coverage Initially:
· Pixel setup and audience creation delay until mid-August.
· Once implemented, bounce rate reduced and return visit rate increased.
3. Geo-Cultural Messaging Gap:
· India audiences needed more localized messaging (e.g., certification value, scholarship options).
· Adapted creatives based on country-specific search terms and visual preferences.
4. Budget Scaling Coordination:
· Needed coordination between organic activities and ad scaling for August’s launch.
· Resolved by aligning influencer/PR mentions with ad spikes for synergy.
