Paid search can waste money while looking healthy
Clicks rise. Cost per lead looks acceptable. Reports stay green. But if campaigns chase the wrong searches, measure the wrong conversions or send people somewhere that doesn’t match their intent, the numbers can hide the real problem.

How FutureGroup runs paid search
Find where the money is going
We look at spend, search terms, conversion data and landing pages to find both waste and opportunity.

Rebuild around intent
We put more budget behind the searches most likely to create business and cut the activity that only inflates traffic.

Prove what works
We test the changes most likely to improve performance, then show the commercial impact before asking for more budget.

Keep reallocating
Costs, competitors and buyer behaviour keep moving. We continuously shift budget toward what is earning its place.
