The Client

Megasealed Australia is a market leader in professional bathroom, balcony, and shower sealing solutions that don’t require tile removal. Established in 1996, Megasealed has grown into a national franchise network, known for delivering cost-effective, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly sealing services. With decades of expertise and a reputation for quality, Megasealed continues to innovate in a highly competitive category.

The Challenge

The Australian waterproofing and sealing industry has become increasingly crowded. Rising competition has driven up the average cost-per-click (CPC), making it harder for businesses to maintain visibility without inflating budgets.

As a franchise model, Megasealed’s media spend is distributed across individual states. This structure introduced complexity into campaign management, limiting optimisation potential in top-performing markets. Segmented accounts also made it difficult for Google’s algorithms to maximise learning and efficiency.

Compounding the issue, previous account setups were overreporting and duplicating conversions, skewing performance data and undermining optimisation.

Our Strategy

We built a strategy anchored in precision, quality, and scale.

1. Search Theme Segmentation
We conducted a comprehensive audit of high-intent search themes related to Megasealed’s services. Each theme was paired with tailored ad copy and a bespoke landing page aligned to user intent, increasing relevance and improving engagement.

2. Conversion Quality Over Quantity
We restructured conversion tracking to eliminate duplicate and low-value actions. By introducing minimum call duration thresholds and prioritising meaningful interactions, we shifted optimisation towards high-quality, revenue-driving leads.

3. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
We designed and launched high-performing landing pages built around user search intent. These pages were continuously tested and refined, resulting in stronger engagement, higher conversion rates, and significantly reduced cost per lead (CPL).

4. Leveraging Google AI & Multi-Channel Reach
We embraced Google’s AI-powered tools to unlock scale and efficiency, including:

  • Performance Max and Demand Gen campaigns to engage users across the full funnel
  • Responsive Search Ads with AI-led copy and keyword testing to expand reach and optimise messaging in real-time

5. Data-Led Decision Making
We maintained a rigorous performance analysis rhythm to ensure timely, insight-driven optimisations. The focus was always on balancing efficiency with long-term growth.

The Results

  • 50% reduction in monthly media investment while sustaining growth
  • 50% decrease in cost per lead (CPL), from $48 to $24
  • 46% drop in average CPC with no compromise in reach or results
  • Record month for leads captured, despite halving ad spend

By aligning technical performance, audience insight, and platform strategy, we helped Megasealed achieve its most cost-effective and highest-performing period to date. This is the power of working with a strategic partner who’s not afraid to challenge the norm to evolve your business.
