What Moves Your Construction & Fit-out Cost
Three levers move cost more than your bid does:
- Targeting and intent: matching keywords, audiences, and offers to real buying intent lowers wasted spend.
- Account and creative quality: relevance, Quality Score, and creative freshness cut cost per result over time.
- Landing page and follow-up: the fastest way to lower cost per customer is a page that converts and a team that responds fast.
Expected Return
A realistic target for this category is Project value is large, so a high cost per enquiry still pays. Judge the channel on cost per customer against lifetime value, not on cost per click alone.
How to Reduce Your Construction & Fit-out Cost
-
Tighten targeting and negatives. Cut irrelevant queries and audiences before they spend.
-
Improve relevance and creative. Better ad-to-page match lifts Quality Score and lowers cost.
-
Fix conversion and follow-up. Most waste is a slow page or slow response, not the bid.
When Will You See Results?
Weeks 1 to 2 are data collection. Weeks 3 to 4 show the first cost drops from structural work. Month 2 to 3 is where cost per result stabilises. Longer consideration purchases need 8 to 12 weeks, so measure assisted conversions, not only last click.
