Google Ads Is Easy to Run — But Hard to Run Profitably

Most Google Ads accounts fail because they focus on:
As a result:
Running ads is easy. Running profitable ads is not.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re already running Google Ads. Why would we switch?

Most advertisers come to us while ads are already running.

The issue is rarely “ads not working”.

It’s usually:

  • Lead quality inconsistent
  • Costs rising without clarity
  • No confidence on what to scale or cut


We specialise in stabilising and improving lead quality, not just turning ads on.

No — and you should be careful with anyone who does.

What we do guarantee:

  • Campaigns are built around commercial intent, not traffic
  • Lead quality is tracked and reviewed (not just CPL)
  • Clear decisions on what to scale, fix, or stop


We focus on control and visibility, not empty promises.

Most agencies optimise for:

  • Clicks
  • CPL
  • Platform metrics


We optimise for:

  • Lead quality
  • Conversion intent
  • Scalability with confidence


That means:

  • Tighter keyword intent control
  • Better landing page alignment
  • Ongoing decisions based on which leads actually convert

Yes — because ads without landing page control usually underperform.

We:

  • Optimise or rebuild landing pages where needed
  • Focus on conversion clarity, not just design
  • Ensure ads, keywords, and pages are aligned


This is one of the biggest reasons clients see improvement.

Most of our clients spend:

  • $5,000 – $30,000+/month on Google Ads


If budgets are too low, optimisation becomes guesswork.

We’ll tell you honestly if the numbers won’t work.

If access is provided:

  • Search campaigns typically go live within 7–14 days


We do not wait endlessly for perfect inputs.

If clients are slow, we proceed with best-practice defaults and refine later.=

Yes — but not bloated reports.

You’ll see:

  • What’s working
  • What’s not
  • What we’re changing next
  • When we’ll review again


The goal is confidence, not dashboards.

You do.

  • Google Ads account is in your name
  • You retain access and ownership
  • No lock-ins, no hostage tactics

We work on retainers, not long lock-ins.

Clients stay because:

  • Results improve
  • Decisions become clearer
  • There’s less stress guessing what’s going on

This is where most agencies fail.

We follow a structured response:

  • Identify one core cause
  • Explain clearly what changed and why
  • Take a specific action
  • Set a review date


No panic. No silence. No vague answers.

Often, no.

Ads start demand — but trust and authority finish the decision.

That’s why many clients eventually combine Google Ads with SEO / AEO.

No hard sell. Just clarity on whether this makes sense for your business.

Illumia Therapeutics Paid Ads Case Study

Overview

Illumia Therapeutics faced a significant “blind spot”: while their advertising generated a high volume of leads, they lacked visibility into which specific campaigns were producing qualified leads versus junk. By implementing HeroIQ, we bridged the gap between clicks and actual revenue. Without increasing their ad budget, we achieved:

  • 271% increase in monthly revenue within three months of implementation.
  • 7.5x increase in monthly closings
  • 15x increase in show-up rates compared to pre-implementation levels.

The Challenge: A "Leaking" Sales Funnel

Illumia Therapeutics was in a position many successful beauty spas face: they had no shortage of inquiries, but they were flying blind when it came to ROI. The core challenges included:

  • Lack of Lead Visibility: While lead volume was high, it was entirely unclear which advertising campaigns were delivering qualified leads and which were simply wasting budget on “window shoppers.”
  • ROAS Ambiguity: Because they couldn’t trace a specific sale back to a specific ad, they couldn’t identify their best Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), leading to inefficient budget allocation.
  • Manual Bottlenecks: The front desk relied on manual Excel sheets, making it impossible to track a lead’s journey from the first click to the final treatment.
  • Fragmented Data: With no centralized system, follow-ups were inconsistent, and valuable data on show-up rates and appointment conversions was frequently lost.

The Comparison: Life Before vs. After HeroIQ

Feature Before HeroIQ After HeroIQ
Lead Quality Visibility None. Unclear which ads generated patients vs. inquiries. Full Transparency. Every lead is traced back to the specific ad and creative bucket.
Data Management Manual Excel sheets; high risk of “leaky” sales funnel. Automated lead capture from Paid Search and Meta into a centralised dashboard.
Follow-up Process Inconsistent and slow; no tracking of lead status. Structured pipeline: New → Contacted → Booked → Showed → Closed.
Optimization Strategy Guesswork. High spend on high-volume, low-quality ads. Data-driven. Budget shifted to “winning buckets” that actually closed.
Revenue Growth Stagnant due to inefficient lead handling. Scaled 271% in 3 months.

The Results: Scaling Through Efficiency

The implementation of HeroIQ acted as a catalyst for exponential growth:

  • Efficiency Without Extra Spend: We achieved a 3x increase in revenue over 90 days and a 15x increase in show-ups —all while maintaining the same advertising budget.
  • From Steady to Strong Growth (Mar–Jul): Lead volume grew by 2.2x. More importantly, lead quality soared; appointments increased 7.5x in that same period.
  • Record Revenue Momentum: Once the funnel was stabilised and we could see which campaigns were “qualified,” revenue surged to a record-breaking 271%.

The Solution: A System for Qualified Success

We transformed Illumia’s marketing from a “lead-gen” engine into a “revenue-gen” engine through three core pillars:

1. End-to-End Lead Attribution (HeroIQ)

We replaced manual tracking with HeroIQ’s automated system. By using call tracking, transcribing, and automated web-form capture, we gave the team total visibility. For the first time, Illumia could see exactly which campaigns were producing the “qualified” leads that actually walked through the door.

2. Accountability in the Funnel

HeroIQ allowed us to track the status of every lead in real-time. This eliminated “lead leakage” by ensuring the front desk responded faster and followed a structured process. We moved from “we have a lead” to “we have a lead who is contacted, booked, and showed,” creating a clear path to the sale.

3. Winning Creative Buckets

Armed with data on which leads were the most qualified, we performed a deep-dive creative analysis. We grouped ads into “Creative Buckets” and used HeroIQ to see which ones had the highest closing rates. We shifted the budget away from high-volume/low-quality buckets and iterated on the winners, allowing us to scale revenue vertically without increasing the ad spend.

The Outcome

271%

increase in ad revenue

15x

increase in show-up rates

SL Aesthetic Clinic

The Challenge:

In the highly competitive Beauty & Aesthetics landscape in Singapore, SL Aesthetic Clinic had been growing at a steady pace since the early 2000s with their Friend-First, Patient-Second ethos. They were looking for ways to grow their business with more efficient lead generation strategies. The overall objective was to gain market share and expand their physical presence in Singapore.

The Solution

SL first began by setting up measurement systems to better attribute and track their conversions and value per conversion. This allowed them to find out which services offered the best return on investment (ROI). Once those benchmarks were established, A combination of Smart Bidding Google Ad campaigns and Performance Max campaigns were used to reach audiences that were most likely to convert.


Partnering with Heroes of Digital: SL worked with Heroes of Digital to better measure and deploy Smart Bidding and Performance Max for lead generation.

Ark Surgical Practice

Ark Surgical Practice is a leading colorectal surgery clinic in Singapore, led by Dr. Chong Choon Seng, a respected expert in minimally invasive surgery. Committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care for a range of colorectal conditions, Ark Surgical Practice sought to expand its patient base and establish itself as a trusted authority in Singapore.

The Challenge:

With numerous specialist clinics in the competitive Singapore market, Ark Surgical Practice struggled to differentiate itself and attract new patients. They needed a strategic marketing approach to increase brand awareness, generate qualified leads, and drive clinic growth.

The Solution

Performance Marketing Strategy:

Ark Surgical Practice partnered with a performance marketing agency to launch a comprehensive campaign leveraging Google Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and social media assets.

  • Google SEM Paid Ads: Targeted paid advertising campaigns focused on keywords related to colonoscopy, hemorrhoids/piles, colorectal cancer, and anal fistula treatments, which were identified together with the Doctor as potentially leading to more complex procedures. These campaigns aimed to reach potential patients actively searching for these services.
  • Social Media Content Marketing: Engaging video and photo content was created for Dr. Chong. These assets addressed common colorectal-related lifestyle topics and debunked myths. This content served a dual purpose:
    Patient education: Providing informative content on relevant topics built trust and established Dr. Chong’s expertise.
  • Performance Max (PMax) Creatives: The videos and photos served as high-quality visual elements for Google’s PMax campaigns, further enhancing engagement and ad performance.
The Results:

The Google SEM paid ads campaign delivered consistent results, generating a steady stream of form submissions and recorded phone calls within the year. In total, the campaign yielded:

  • 393% increase in total conversions YoY
  • 182% increase in website traffic

This consistent lead flow translated into business growth. Over the past 1.5 years, Ark Surgical Practice has expanded from one clinic to three locations across Singapore: Mt. Elizabeth Orchard, Mt. Elizabeth Novena, and Mt. Alvernia.

Key Takeaways:

This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a well-executed performance marketing strategy in achieving business objectives. By combining targeted paid advertising with engaging social media content, Ark Surgical Practice successfully reached their target audience, established Dr. Chong’s expertise, and ultimately fueled clinic growth.

Additionally:
  • This case study highlights the importance of a data-driven approach. Tracking results like form submissions and phone calls allowed for performance optimization and ensured the campaign delivered a consistent flow of leads.
  • The collaboration between Dr. Chong’s expertise and the marketing team’s creativity resulted in valuable social media content that not only educated patients but also served as compelling ad creatives.

 

By implementing a similar performance marketing strategy, other healthcare professionals can attract new patients, build trust within their community, and drive sustainable clinic growth.

Sterling Law

A trusted name in Singapore family law for decades, Sterling Law's family law department needed a partner to help boost their online visibility. Heroes of Digital built a new, authoritative website and implemented a hybrid SEO and Google Ads strategy to help them achieve greater visibility and measurable business success.

The Challenge: Lost in the Legal Labyrinth

Sterling Law’s family law department faced a significant challenge. Despite prior digital marketing efforts, their website failed to meet their traffic and visibility targets in both organic and paid search results. The legal landscape was growing increasingly competitive, with rivals adopting similar branding strategies and gaining ground.

Complicating matters further, their site was ranking for outdated keywords that may have worked in the past – but no longer aligned with what their general target audiences typically search for today.

The Solution: A Hybrid Digital Strategy

To achieve these results, we implemented a comprehensive strategy that integrated both long-term SEO and immediate-impact paid advertising.

Foundation First: New Website and Intensive SEO

We began by developing a new, high-performance website designed for both users and search engines. Our long-term strategy focused on intensive content generation and link building around the target keywords that matched the search intent and behaviour of their target audiences. The goal was to build the site’s topical authority and expertise by creating the single most valuable resource for divorce and family law in Singapore. This content was crafted to be easily understood by non-lawyers, directly addressing their concerns and providing actionable value. This approach helped the site rank for a vast number of new keywords, paving the way for sustainable organic traffic.

Immediate Impact: Strategic Google Ads Campaign

Recognising that SEO takes time, we launched a strategic Google Search campaign to generate immediate results. This campaign directed high-intent users to a specialised, high-converting landing page. The page was designed to capture leads from people who were ready to consult a lawyer, helping Sterling Law acquire qualified clients quickly. This targeted approach was highly effective, leading to a massive increase in conversions and a more efficient use of their ad budget.

Enhanced Efficiency: Fully Automated Lead Generation Process

Heroes of Digital successfully implemented an automated system that captures leads directly, eliminating the need for manual spreadsheet input. This significantly enhanced efficiency and saved the Sterling Law team considerable time in administering lead follow-ups. At the same time, qualified leads were also leveraged as first-party data for better ad targeting, leading to a compounding improvement in performance.

The Results: A Clear Path to Growth

Heroes of Digital crafted a strategic, multi-faceted approach that delivered remarkable results, re-establishing Sterling Law as a leader in Singapore’s family law sector.

460% increase in quality form leads monthly from their SEM campaigns.

42% drop in Cost-Per-Click (CPC) for their Google Ads, dramatically improving their ad spend efficiency.

320% increase in keywords ranked on Google Search, significantly expanding their organic reach and visibility.

By combining the power of long-term SEO with a highly effective paid search campaign, Heroes of Digital helped Sterling Law not only regain its footing but also achieve unprecedented growth in conversions, keyword visibility, and overall digital presence.

The Outcome

+4.6x

Increase in lead quality

-42%

Newlife Dental Practice

How strategic lead management turned strong Ad performance into a 250% appointment lift

Overview

HOD launched and managed Google Ads and Meta Ads for Newlife Dental to promote its Ultra Short Dental Implant service. The campaigns quickly produced a steady volume of qualified leads, confirming strong market demand. However, appointment numbers did not rise at the same pace.

During the first five to six months, the clinic generated high lead volume but averaged only 6 to 9 implant consultations per month. The gap between digital performance and on-ground appointments became the key obstacle to growth.

The Challenge:

High lead volume but low conversion

Even with healthy ad performance, Newlife Dental encountered several issues that limited appointment outcomes.

1. Insufficient on-ground appointments
Despite receiving many implant inquiries, only 6 to 9 consultations were booked each month. The conversion rate from lead to visit remained well below industry benchmarks.

2. Drop-off during follow-up
Most prospects responded initially, but engagement faltered once pricing was shared. Many leads stopped replying after receiving cost details, creating a steep drop in the funnel.

3. No structured lead nurturing system
A detailed CRM review revealed that follow-up was inconsistent. Many leads were contacted only once, which is not aligned with best practices for Meta and Google leads. Without a clear, step-by-step nurturing process, strong ad performance did not translate into clinic visits.

The Solution:

SEM & FACEBOOK

1. Full audit of the follow-up process
We zoomed in on the entire lead flow to identify friction points. The main roadblock appeared when potential patients asked for implant pricing. Many ghosted after receiving the number, which caused a steep falloff.

2. Implementation of a complete lead handling framework
HOD built a structured, multi-touch follow-up system with defined contact intervals, clear messaging sequences, and repeated re-engagement points. This framework tightened response consistency, reduced lead drop-off, and improved the conversion of digital enquiries into confirmed clinic visits.

  • Immediate first response to capture interest during peak intent.
  • Same-day secondary contact to re-engage non-responsive leads.
  • Scheduled reminders on Day 2 and Day 5 to prompt action with clear value messaging.
  • Weekly nurture cycles combine reminders, incentives, and educational content to build trust.
  • Automated no-show recovery steps to bring missed appointments back into the funnel
  • This brought consistency and speed to the clinic’s response strategy.

3. Behaviour-driven incentive strategy
Insights from discussions with Dr Aaron and the on-ground team showed that many leads paused at the pricing stage. To re-engage them, we recommended offering value-based incentives such as:

  • First-visit fee rebate
  • Consultation add-ons

These incentives encouraged hesitant prospects to complete their clinic visit rather than drop off.

Results

The structured follow-up framework and incentive strategy had an immediate, measurable impact on appointment conversions.

 

Before optimisation, Newlife Dental averaged 6 implant consultations per month, despite strong lead volume from Google and Meta campaigns. After implementing the new multi-touch nurturing system and a value-driven re-engagement flow, the clinic saw a steady increase in confirmed visits.

 

The optimised process delivered:

 

  • Faster response times, reducing drop-offs at the initial enquiry stage
  • Higher re-engagement rates, especially among prospects who previously stopped replying after asking for a price
  • More prospects completing the clinic visit, driven by incentives and clearer communication
  • A stable appointment pipeline, with conversions improving across every stage of the funnel

Leading Women's Health Clinic

The Challenge:

A women’s health clinic has developed a reputation for being a caring and compassionate private institution, who lends a listening ear to their patients, and treats their patients with care, precision, and privacy. That said, their ethos towards personalised and private healthcare can only go so far if no one trusts them.

The Solution

The clinic had to navigate a range of sensitive keywords and topics, and so to ensure continual uptime of the campaigns, campaigns were run to dedicated landing pages for each service. The campaigns also gradually moved towards a target CPA strategy to maximise the number of conversions for the fixed budget. The clinic also diversified the campaign into chinese language keyword as they were less competitive, to keep the cost per conversions more efficient.

The Outcome

+210%

Character Montessori

The Challenge:

Character Montessori was relying on traditional marketing such as flyer distribution to get new sign ups. It was costly, time-consuming and did not convert well. 

 

Without knowledge on digital marketing, they were unsure of how to start and which channels will work for education industry. 

The Solution

We implemented SEM and Social Media Advertising to promote new sign ups

 

Used cross-platforms remarketing ads to increase brand recall and conversions

 

Build a conversion driven landing page to drive ad traffic to enhance conversions and leads

How's Catering

The Challenge:

Despite being a reputable name in the industry, How’s Catering struggled to gain significant market share without going over their budgets. Their primary hurdles included:

 

Rising Acquisition Costs: Relying solely on Search ads became increasingly expensive as competitors bid up prices for high-intent keywords.

 

Budget Constraints: They needed a way to compete with larger players while maintaining a lean, high-efficiency marketing budget.

 

Market Visibility: It was difficult to stay top-of-mind for customers across the entire web, especially during critical peak festive periods when demand fluctuates wildly.

The Solution

We implemented a sophisticated Google Ads ecosystem that balanced intent-based targeting with wide-reaching automation:

 

1. The Search & PMax Power Pairing

While Search captured users actively looking for “catering Singapore,” Performance Max (PMax) allowed us to reach potential customers across YouTube, Display, and Gmail. By leveraging Google’s advanced signals, the PMax campaigns identified users likely to convert even before they hit the search bar.

 

2. Automated Efficiency for Limited Budgets

To help How’s Catering compete on a leaner budget, we utilised Google’s best-practice automation. This moved the focus away from manual keyword bidding—which was becoming too costly—to signal-based bidding that prioritized users with the highest probability of booking.

 

3. Responsive Festive Scaling

Catering is a highly seasonal business. Our strategy was built to be elastic; we scaled budgets in direct response to festive demand. During the Christmas season, we flooded the market with visually engaging PMax creative assets, allowing How’s Catering to stay responsive and capture a significant portion of the seasonal market share.

The Outcome

+55%

Increase in conversions

-35%

Reduction in cost per lead
