Custom Home Builder

The client had previously run an SEO (search engine optimization) campaign, SEM (search engine marketing) campaign, and branding ads on cleveland.com that drove a higher amount of traffic. But their Google Analytics revealed that their on-page engagement was very low, users were bouncing off the page almost instantly. The client was also interested in a new brand strategy that used very targeted ads on both an overall company-wide campaign, and to promote their individual communities.
