Generating Profitable Solar Leads With Performance Max

Orchidea Digital used first-party CRM data and segmented Performance Max campaigns to increase leads, revenue and ROAS.

Overview

2023,
NRG Clean Power

NRG Clean Power needed high-quality residential and commercial solar leads in a competitive market where CPCs were high and lead quality mattered as much as volume. The business also needed visibility into which leads became profitable closed-won deals.

Process

  1. Connected CRM revenue to ads. Orchidea Digital used Salesforce data and offline conversion imports so Google Ads could optimise against real closed-won outcomes.

  2. Built intent-led audiences. In-market, affinity and custom search-term segments focused the campaign on people actively researching solar benefits and options.

  3. Tested Performance Max with guardrails. The campaign was built to expand reach while staying accountable to lead quality, revenue and cost per closed deal.

"Performance Max became a high-revenue lead generation channel when CRM data, audience intent and offline conversions were connected."
