# BluePoint Google Ads & SEO Performance

## Overview

As of October 2025, BluePoint ATM's SEO and Google Ads campaigns are generating a high volume of quality inbound leads. Performance has been strong enough to shift the BluePoint team's primary bottleneck from lead generation to sales execution — proposals, demos, and follow-ups. LinkedIn Ads are running but remain under-optimized.

## Google Ads & SEO

- **Status:** Performing well. The majority of inbound leads are arriving via Google Search — either organic SEO or paid search ads.
- **Lead quality:** High. Leads include enterprise-level prospects such as hospitals and large venues.
- **Notable lead:** Children's Health hospital (Dallas, TX) booked a demo directly from a website form fill — a direct result of search visibility.
- **Implication:** The team acknowledged that inbound volume is now diverting BluePoint's attention away from proactive marketing tasks. Mike Stebbins noted a "work closest to the money first" prioritization approach.

> *"We've been busy with a lot of leads… our SEO and paid ads, Google paid ads, I think we're pretty successful so far because we're getting a lot of leads coming in from the website."*
> — Mike Stebbins

## LinkedIn Ads

- **Current setup:** Two active ad formats — a video explainer and a carousel — both targeting reverse ATM audiences nationwide.
- **Performance snapshot (as of Oct 2025):**
  - Impressions: ~22,000
  - Clicks: 376
  - Average CTR: **1.6%**
- **Targeting gaps identified:**
  - No industry-specific segmentation (e.g., Stadiums & Arenas, Water Parks)
  - No job title or seniority targeting (e.g., C-suite, owner, facility manager)
  - Nationwide only — no geographic filtering
- **Next step:** Align LinkedIn ad targeting with the monthly industry campaign cadence (see [[knowledge/campaign-strategy/monthly-industry-campaign-cadence]]). First planned segment: Stadiums & Arenas.
- **Benchmark research:** Melissa to research LinkedIn CTR benchmarks to contextualize the 1.6% figure.

> *"I think it makes sense to target the LinkedIn ads to the industry we're focusing on… it's congruent with the emails that are going on."*
> — Mike Stebbins

## Google Ads Optimization Roadmap

- **Current state:** General keyword targeting (cashless ATM, reverse ATM, etc.) — no industry-vertical segmentation applied yet.
- **Planned improvement:** Add industry-specific ad segments aligned to monthly campaign themes (e.g., a Stadiums & Arenas segment running alongside the email and direct mail push).
- **Scheduled review:** A comprehensive Google Ads audit and refresh is planned for **December 2025**, including search term review, messaging refinement, and campaign optimization across all active ad groups.
