Cutting A Fintech’s CPL by 78% Through a Full Account Restructure

A B2B fintech platform serving a highly specialized institutional audience was facing rising acquisition costs and inconsistent lead quality across Search, Display, and Video campaigns. Broad match keywords and low-quality placements were eating spend without driving qualified users to the site. The goal was to bring down cost per lead while scaling qualified conversions.

The Approach

  • Rebuild campaigns around solutions for individual target industries

  • Sharpen targeted keyword intent through research and historical data analysis

  • Clean up geo targeting and implement placement exclusion lists

  • Maintain ongoing bid strategy and keyword hygiene as industry trends fluctuate

Results

Year over year, 2024 vs. 2025:

  • Cost per acquisition dropped 78% YoY

  • Conversions grew 44%
