Making PPC investment work harder with campaign mirroring

The team at Ocean Holidays make sure that when a visitor lands on site via PPC, the content they see is relevant. For example, if a visitor arrives on site from keyword ‘Family holiday Disneyland Florida’, appropriate messaging is surfaced throughout the journey.

In addition, with increased data layer capabilities, the company can match behavior displayed by PPC visitors, with visitors showing similar intent. As a result, they can deploy the same experience based on that intent.


Result
Conversion rate of 8-16%
