Challenge

A brutally competitive vertical

Insurance CPAs routinely hit $100–$200; the brand had TV awareness but needed digital performance.

Approach

Intent timing + CRO

Targeted high-intent moments, tracked quote requests as micro-conversions, and ran continuous landing-page CRO.

Outcome

4,080 policies at $30.39

70% below the sector floor, with CPA falling from $54 to $30.39 over 90 days.

01 The problem

A leading Nordic pet insurance provider needed to acquire new customers in one of the most competitive Google Ads verticals. Insurance CPAs on Google regularly exceed $100–$200. The brand had a history of strong TV awareness but needed digital performance to carry customer acquisition.
