How PPC + CRO Decreased Unqualified Leads by 57% for Upper Hand

Quote shape

Last year, we shared how we helped Upper Hand increase their conversion rate and reduce cost per MQL through PPC optimization (you can read the full case here). But here’s the thing: PPC is just the first step. To truly maximize results, you need to pair it with a strong CRO strategy.

Challenge

While Upper Hand’s paid ads were driving strong traffic, we noticed an opportunity to further improve lead quality by optimizing the landing page experience. The existing page, which focused on business value, was effective—but we wanted to better align with the mindset of top-of-funnel users.

Through data analysis, we discovered that users who engaged with pages highlighting product features were more likely to convert. This insight became the foundation for our experiment.
