Thrive Services Used
Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
Advertising
Project Overview
A specialized rehabilitation center serving military personnel, veterans and first responders enlisted Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s paid advertising service to drive more leads to the site.
While paid search was already their core acquisition channel, the client needed a more strategic approach to attract high-intent prospects and maximize the value of every conversion.
Thrive implemented a refined PPC strategy focused on conversion value and long-term scalability. Within only nine months, Thrive helped the client achieve a remarkable 774% increase in conversion rate.
From the Client
“Our PPC partnership with Thrive has exceeded expectations. They care about our mission, strive for the best results, and operate more like an extension of our team than a contracted vendor. Their people are fantastic to work with and always ready to step in when we need them!”

The center has also seen significant growth across all key performance indicators:

- +293% Conversions: Gained 10,045.04 conversions, showing that traffic quality improved and more users completed meaningful actions.
- +91% Click-Through Rate: CTR rose to 10.24%, indicating stronger ad relevance and improved audience alignment.
- +774% Conversion Rate: Most notably, the conversion rate climbed to 8.88%, confirming that the optimizations significantly enhanced funnel efficiency and the effectiveness of each click.
The Execution
Thrive implemented data-driven optimization and strategic bid management focused on maximizing conversion value rather than simply increasing conversion volume.
Our strategies involved:
- Refining keyword match types to improve search intent alignment.
- Implementing automated budget pacing to improve spend efficiency.
- Shifting bidding to maximize conversion value rather than raw volume.
- Assigning conversion values across all meaningful actions to train bidding algorithms on quality signals.
- Deploying multi-touch campaigns across Performance Max and search to strengthen regional coverage.
This approach ensured campaigns prioritized users most likely to convert into high-quality leads rather than inflating traffic metrics.
