The team at Third Marble Marketing is committed to creating dynamic processes and personalized solutions that drive the best results for small businesses. We know that every dollar counts and we want to help our clients make the most of every penny. 


This DC Area Law Firm trusted our guidance and processes alongside our years of experience and expertise. With patience and investment, within 9 months, they saw huge results.


February


When we looked at the account in February 2024, our Conversion Tracking Specialist immediately identified and remedied issues with the conversion tracking. We noticed their location settings would benefit from being diversified. We implemented one of our Performance Plans to help ensure every click was a potential lead. Google takes time to understand changes, but over the coming months we began to see the cost-per-click lower as leads significantly increased.


May


By May, we had increased leads by 300% while decreasing cost-per-lead by 63%. This was a result of the optimization team’s efforts to narrowly focus the targeting to only the highest quality keywords that had the highest probability of converting.


After consideration, we decided they were a great candidate for a new Demand Gen campaign.This tool helps reach a wider audience across platforms by presenting ads to the most relevant potential customers all while allowing us to maintain control over creative content. 


We’ve introduced carefully built automation scripts to help monitor our clients’ campaigns daily which we applied to their campaigns. Meanwhile our Optimization Team, staffed by real people, continued to monitor the account, adjusting for the best bidding strategies and keywords. The client was so happy with their results and our efforts, they invested more into their Google Ads budget.

August 


By August, the combination of the Demand Gen campaign, automated scripts, real person optimization, and increased investment, this client continued to see even greater success at lower cost-per-click and lead. We increased their conversions by 425% while decreasing both cost-per-lead by 64% and cost-per-click by 87%.

September


By September, the client continued to be so satisfied with results, they invested more into their Google Ad spend. Their cost-per-click remained consistently low while we increased leads by 100% and decreased cost-per-lead by 40%. The quality of the leads improved as well, giving the law firm higher-paying cases and more revenue to re-invest in advertising for the future.


Overall, from February to September, cost-per-click decreased by 72%, leads increased by 4100%, and cost-per-lead decreased by 92%.

Step-by-Step Guide to Optimizing Your Google Business Profile:
By Alex Huibsch March 10, 2025
Which One Do I Need? When it comes to driving traffic to your website, you’ve likely heard the terms SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and PPC (Pay-Per-Click). Both are essential digital marketing strategies, but they serve different purposes. So, how do you determine which one is the right fit for your business? The truth is that SEO and PPC work best when used together, but understanding their differences will help you decide where to focus your efforts based on your goals and budget. Let’s take a closer look. What is SEO? SEO focuses on improving your website’s visibility in organic search results. This involves optimizing your website’s content, structure, and technical elements to rank higher on search engines like Google in the organic section of the Search Results Page. Some key components of SEO include: Keyword Optimization : Identifying and using relevant keywords in title tags, meta descriptions, alt tags, and onsite copy to attract the right audience. High-Quality Content : Creating valuable, authoritative, and informative content that appeals to users and search engines. Technical SEO : Improving site speed, mobile-friendliness, and security to enhance user experience. Backlink Building : Earning links from reputable websites to increase domain authority. Benefits of SEO Builds Long-Term Organic Traffic : Once your website ranks well, you can enjoy a steady stream of visitors without ongoing ad spend. More Cost-Effective Over Time : While SEO requires an upfront investment in content and optimization, it becomes more affordable as your rankings improve. Boosts Credibility and Trust : Appearing in organic search results gives your business more authority in your industry. What is PPC? PPC is a paid advertising strategy where businesses bid on keywords to appear in sponsored search results. Every time a user clicks on your ad, you pay a fee. Google Ads is the most popular PPC platform, allowing businesses to target specific demographics, locations, and search queries. Benefits of PPC Delivers Instant Traffic : PPC generates immediate site visitors, whereas SEO results are not immediate. Highly Targeted : You can reach specific audiences based on keywords, location, demographics, and even online behavior. Measurable Results : PPC provides detailed analytics, allowing you to track performance and adjust campaigns for better ROI. Scalable: Depending on your immediate business needs, you can increase and decrease your budget, and therefore the number of leads and sales you get each month from PPC. SEO is not that nimble. Setting Realistic Expectations: SEO is a Marathon, PPC is a Sprint When deciding between SEO and PPC, it’s important to set realistic expectations for results. Think of SEO as a marathon and PPC as a sprint. Both can get you to the finish line, but they work at different speeds and require different strategies. SEO: The Marathon Approach SEO takes time, just like training for a marathon. You won’t see results overnight, but with consistent effort, you’ll build momentum and endurance. Timeline Expectation: Months 1-3: Research, technical optimization, and content creation. During this period of time, expect little to no ranking improvements. Months 4-6: Gradual ranking improvements and some organic traffic growth. Months 6-12: Stronger rankings, increased traffic, and leads (provided ongoing effort continues). 1 Year & Beyond: Established rankings, steady organic traffic, and a strong foundation that requires maintenance, but not constant spending. The key takeaway is that SEO compounds over time. The more effort you put in early, the more rewards you reap later. PPC: The Sprint Approach PPC is like a sprint—you get results quickly, but you have to keep paying to stay ahead. If you stop running (funding your ads), the traffic stops too. Timeline Expectation: Week 1: Campaign setup, keyword research, and ad creation. Weeks 2-4: Ads go live, and traffic starts coming in immediately. Months 1-3: Performance optimization. This entails adjusting bids, refining targeting, and improving ad quality for better ROI. Ongoing: As long as you continue funding your ads, you’ll keep generating traffic and leads. PPC provides instant results, but costs can add up. Unlike SEO, which continues to bring traffic over time, PPC stops working the moment you turn off your ads. What’s the Right Strategy? Need leads now? Start with PPC. Want long-term sustainable growth? Invest in SEO. Want the best of both worlds? Run PPC while building your SEO strategy in the background. Understanding these timelines will help you manage expectations and make informed marketing decisions. In Closing All in all, SEO and PPC are not competitors. In fact, they complement each other. Investing in both strategies can maximize your visibility and help your business grow.
