    SOLUTION

    Jonathan Lee Recruitment’s challenge necessitated a tailored approach to simultaneously reach potential employers and candidates. Recognising the diverse needs of various key sectors, including energy and agritech, our strategy involved creating distinct Google Ads campaigns for each sector. This ensured highly targeted ads, aligning with the specific search behaviours and interests of each group.

    The foundation of our approach was in-depth keyword research, identifying terms closely aligned with the unique demands of each sector. This research informed the creation of bespoke ad content, designed to resonate with the specific pain points and aspirations of both employers and candidates within each sector.

    Campaigns were monitored and optimised for performance, leveraging Google Ads’ robust analytics to refine our targeting and messaging. This continuous optimisation process was pivotal in continually improving the key metrics of ad relevance and engagement and ultimately driving higher click-through rates and conversions.
