Hyper-focused targeting triples digital conversion rates for regional bank

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Geo-targeted digital strategy helped regional bank outperform national competitors

The digital marketing efforts of a regional bank were not adequately geo-focused across paid search and display, causing the bank to lose potential customers to large, national mortgage aggregators. Franklin Madison Direct proposed a detailed search and display strategy that relied on radius-based targeting and elaborate audience segments to ensure ads would only be served to prospects located or interested in the bank’s market area. With a new account structure and holistic conversion measurement in place, the bank is winning impression share and increasing conversions. The client is now achieving its highest mortgage revenue months ever, continuing to leverage FM Direct for ongoing campaign strategy and optimization.

The Problem

The bank’s digital ads lacked geo-focus, allowing national competitors to outbid them and capture potential mortgage customers.

The Solution

FM Direct implemented radius-based digital targeting and audience segmentation, ensuring ads reached only the most relevant local prospects.

The Outcome

Ad conversions more than tripled, with a 75% YOY conversion lift and a 53% impression share gain.
