The Challenge

A New Zealand taxi and airport-transfer operator needed a steady, high-volume stream of bookings at a cost that kept per-ride economics healthy. The market is competitive and price-sensitive, with rideshare apps and other local firms all bidding on the same high-intent searches, so every dollar of ad spend had to pull its weight against a low average booking value.

Our Solution

  • Built tightly themed Search campaigns around the exact moments people book, from airport transfers and maxi/van runs to suburb-level taxi searches, and structured ad groups so each search met an ad and landing experience that matched it.
  • Layered in call tracking and booking conversion tracking so every dollar tied back to a real ride, ran an aggressive negative-keyword list to cut tyre-kicker traffic, and bid to a target cost per booking rather than clicks.
  • Adjusted budgets by time of day and demand pattern to catch peak booking windows.
