Conversion rate over bid strategy
At these click prices, one percentage point on the landing page is worth more than any bid adjustment you can make.
Cheap clicks are easy. Cheap customers are the job — and in Mumbai the two are frequently in opposition.
Mumbai is the most expensive media market in the country, and the one where platform-reported ROAS is least trustworthy — brand awareness is high enough that a lot of "attributed" purchases would have happened anyway. It is the market where we most often recommend a geo holdout test before scaling spend.
Campaigns run in English, Hindi and Marathi where the audience warrants it.
Proofox is a performance marketing agency in Mumbai running Google Ads, Meta and Shopping in the most expensive auction environment in India. Financial services, real estate and D2C all bid hard into the same inventory here, and a campaign structure that works comfortably in Indore loses money in Mumbai within a fortnight. Most businesses looking for a PPC agency in Mumbai have already been through two or three, and arrive sceptical for good reason.
You cannot out-spend this market. You can out-convert it, which is where the work goes. At Mumbai click prices a landing page converting at two per cent instead of three is the difference between profit and loss across the whole account, so budget goes into the page and the follow-up process before it goes into bid strategy. We also reconcile platform-reported numbers against your own analytics every month, because in this market the gap between the two is usually the entire conversation.
Mumbai punishes accounts that were built for a cheaper market. What decides whether paid spend works here:
At these click prices, one percentage point on the landing page is worth more than any bid adjustment you can make.
Deduplicated events, server-side tracking, click IDs carried to the CRM. Most Mumbai accounts we inherit are optimising against inflated numbers.
Google and Meta both claim the same conversion. We show platform numbers next to your own analytics and explain the gap rather than presenting the flattering total.
Performance Max is a black box by default. It needs the signals and exclusions that let you see which products and queries actually pay.
Closed deals imported back from your CRM, so bidding optimises on revenue rather than on form fills.
We start by reconciling the previous agency's reported numbers against your own analytics and CRM. It is an uncomfortable first meeting and it is faster than arguing about strategy, because in Mumbai the gap between reported and real is usually where the whole problem sits.
Ad spend is paid directly to Google and Meta and is never marked up, so we have no reason to recommend spending more than the account can profitably absorb. The same senior people stay on your account in month twelve as in month one.
