TuxCare Cuts CPA by 61% and Boosts Leads 6x

They work VERY hard in optimizing our campaigns, and they have gone above and beyond tracking micro-conversions, which leads to better quality traffic. Any change we've wanted in our campaign has been completed in a matter of days - not weeks. The results have been amazing. We have 4x our monthly traffic, we have improved the quality of traffic, and, most importantly, we are now receiving quality leads and continue to do so. Our traffic is hyper-targeted to our audiences, and I feel we will improve as time goes on.

Challenge

Since TuxCare is a SaaS product for Enterprise customers, the sales cycle length is rather big: about 60–90 days. It makes it difficult to get quick feedback on the quality of leads, which is needed for analysis and optimizations.

Initially, there were active campaigns that ran for about a year, but with almost no conversions. We started to promote 1 solution (Live Patching Services (KernelCare Enterprise)), but ended up promoting several TuxCare solutions for the B2B market.

Below are the screenshots of the dynamics in August before working with us and after our campaigns were launched in September. The CPA was much higher then, and the volume of conversions gradually increased from month to month, peaking in January.

The increasing number of conversions from our campaigns allowed us to spend more budget on testing different approaches. Meanwhile, the Cost per Conversion was decreasing.
