Since the Netsmart audience is focused on a specific B2B, OpenMoves worked with Netsmart to define and target the audience in Google Ads. In combination with effective keyword targeting this effort greatly improved conversion rates and allowed us to bid with confidence on even the most expensive and competitive keywords.

Maximizing the Low Funnel Audience Netsmart’s solutions are highly considered purchases. As such, the buyer’s journey is long and users need multiple touchpoints to make a decision.

Offering Value in Lead Generation When you’re selling to an experienced enterprise customer its important to offer value in exchange for a lead. Especially for higher-funnel campaigns, the Netsmart PPC effort always offered the user something of value, such as a whitepaper or case study download. In combination with precision targeting as mentioned above, every user saw a call to action that was both highly relevant and highly valuable.
