WHO THIS IS FOR

FOR HIGH-TICKETB2B THAT NEEDS CALLS.

Teams selling complex offers where a conversation beats another Instant Form — and Search must feed sales, not vanity clicks. Buyers research in Google before they buy You want phone and email paths measured, not just «leads» Social already fills volume; Search should catch intent

BUSINESS RESULT

A QUARTER OFCONVERSATION DEMAND.

142 contact events in a single quarter — 72 calls, 60 emails, 10 completed forms. €3,238 of media spend: about €23 per measured contact in high-ticket B2B. The peak was March — 110 contact events in one month, once the query-to-offer match clicked.

THE STARTING POINT

SEARCH WITHOUTA CALL PATH.

PILLAR sells solar carports to B2B buyers who research in Google. Without clear phone, email and form tracking, Search looked like traffic — not like measurable contact intent. Sales needed a readable contact mix, not another opaque «lead» total.

WHAT WE BUILT

FAQ
What counts as a contact event? +

Phone clicks, email clicks and completed forms tracked by Google Ads in the Search campaigns in Q1 2025 — measured buyer actions, not estimates.

Why lead with calls? +

Solar carports are a high-ticket B2B purchase — decisions start in a conversation. A call is the shortest path from a Google query to a sales dialogue.

What did one contact cost? +

€3,238 of quarterly media spend produced 142 contact events — about €23 per contact. For comparison, PILLAR's Meta campaigns bring a lead at about €25.

How fast does Search start delivering calls? +

Two months of calibration, then the peak: 12 contact events in January, 22 in February, 110 in March. High-ticket Search needs a short ramp — then it compounds.
