Overview

DriveUCars partnered with me to generate phone calls and website conversions from users ready to rent a car across the USA. The goal was to attract high-intent customers actively searching for flexible and affordable car rentals, ensuring every click translated into a qualified lead.

Keyword Strategy & Campaign Structure

To achieve this, I conducted in-depth keyword research to focus on bottom-funnel, purchase-ready queries such as "car rental near me" and "best car rentals." Generic or broad search terms were excluded to maintain high relevance and reduce wasted spend. Campaigns were organized into tightly themed ad groups, allowing precise bid adjustments and performance tracking at the search query level.

Ad Copy & Optimization

I crafted multiple ad copy variations, emphasizing key benefits such as flexible rental options, competitive pricing, and convenience. Ads were continuously A/B tested, with underperforming variations paused and budgets reallocated to top-performing ads to maximize click-through rates and conversions.

Results

The results were strong and highly efficient: the campaign generated 277 phone calls and 167 website conversions, with a total ad spend of just $1.48K. By combining data-driven targeting, continuous optimization, and highly relevant ad messaging, the campaign delivered ready-to-book customers and maximized ROI for DriveUCars, establishing a scalable and profitable search strategy for the rental market.
