  • Leads and MQLs: Despite a higher CPL, LinkedIn contributed high-quality leads, particularly from Bofu (Bottom of the Funnel) campaigns and case study campaigns (e.g., Flipkart and PhonePe).

Insights and Learnings

What Worked

  • Google Ads consistently delivered lower CPL while maintaining a steady flow of high-quality leads.
  • LinkedIn contributed to more qualified leads (MQLs), especially for enterprise-focused services.
  • Targeting the right keywords (e.g., "software testing services", "performance testing services") was instrumental in driving the most relevant leads.

Areas for Improvement

  • LinkedIn’s CTR was low (around 0.33% - 0.80%), suggesting that creative optimization and audience refinement are needed.
  • The CPL on LinkedIn remained high, indicating that there may be an opportunity to optimize targeting or use more engaging creatives.

Recommendations for Q1 2025

  1. Optimize LinkedIn Campaigns: Focus on refining audience targeting and improving creative formats to increase CTR and reduce CPL.
  2. Expand Google Ads Budget: Allocate more budget to high-performing Google campaigns, especially for keywords with low CPL and high MQL conversion.
  3. Refine Landing Pages: Continue to optimize landing pages for conversion rates, particularly for mobile users.
  4. Increase Case Study Campaigns: Promote more client success stories to drive brand trust and improve lead conversion.

Conclusion

Moolya’s performance marketing campaigns from July 2024 to February 2025 showed solid progress, especially in Google Ads where CPL remained efficient. The LinkedIn campaigns generated high-quality MQLs but could benefit from creative optimization to improve CTR and reduce CPL. With continued focus on targeting, ad creatives, and landing page optimization, Moolya is poised to drive even better results in the coming months.
