The challenge

A budget quietly leaking

The account looked busy but the leads were thin. Broad match with no negatives, soft conversions, and an unguarded Performance Max campaign were all draining budget.

Nobody owned the account day to day, so the leaks just kept spending.

What we did

Three moves, in order

1

Read the search terms

We went through the last month of search terms and built a real negative-keyword list to stop the irrelevant clicks.

2

Fixed what counted

We reset conversion tracking to a real lead event so bidding stopped chasing noise.

3

Guarded Performance Max

We added brand exclusions and tightened the setup so it stopped harvesting cheap, low-intent traffic.

The Heureux approach

You do not have a traffic problem, you have a leak problem. Plug the leaks and the same budget produces more leads.

The result

Same budget, far more leads

In three weeks, wasted spend dropped by more than half and qualified leads more than doubled, simply by stopping the budget from going where customers were not.
