🧾 Google Ads Case Study – Mind Body Optimization


πŸ”Ή Client

Mind Body Optimization β€” a chain of mental health clinics across Texas and Tennessee.

🎯 Goal

Lower the cost per scheduled appointment to under $800 while improving lead quality and scaling patient acquisition.

🚧 Challenge

The previous agency delivered unsustainably high costs:
CPL: $120.61
CPA (Scheduled Appointment): $1,527.67 This made campaigns unscalable and ROI-negative.

🧠 Solution

Rebuilt campaigns with tighter keyword targeting & refined audience segmentation
Shifted tracking to prioritize scheduled appointments, not just leads
Ran landing page + ad testing to find highest-converting combinations
Optimized bidding and budgets to maximize results within spend limits

πŸ“ˆ Results (90 Days | $32,401 Ad Spend)

πŸ”» CPL: $120.61 β†’ $28.33 (↓ 76.5%)
πŸ”» CPA: $1,527.67 β†’ $272.27 (↓ 82.2%)
βœ… 119 scheduled appointments
πŸ₯‡ Beat the client’s $800 CPA target by 66%

πŸ‘€ My Role

Led Google Ads strategy, campaign rebuild, copy and landing page testing, bid optimizations, and performance tracking.

πŸ“Œ Takeaway

With strategic rebuilds and goal-aligned tracking, I turned an underperforming Google Ads account into a scalable, high-ROI acquisition system.
