We manage Google Ads and Microsoft Ads with a singular focus that separates us from every other PPC agency: offline conversion import. We feed your actual CRM pipeline data — qualified leads, bound policies, signed contracts — back into bidding algorithms so they learn what a real customer looks like. Not a form fill. A customer.
Industries with 30-90 day sales cycles suffer the worst from standard PPC management because the feedback loop between click and revenue is broken.

Custom attribution model connecting the first click to the bound policy through CRM integration, tracking every pipeline stage across the entire sales cycle.
Quality Score improvement sprints targeting 8+ scores across revenue-driving keywords, reducing CPCs 30-50% while maintaining or improving position.
Aggressive search term analysis with weekly negative keyword mining eliminating $34K+ monthly in wasted spend on irrelevant, informational, and competitor queries.

The foundation of everything we do. We build the data pipeline between your CRM and ad platforms so algorithms optimize for revenue stages, not vanity conversions.
Intent-based campaign architecture with match-type segmentation, tight ad groups, and Quality Score engineering that lowers CPCs systematically.
Lower CPCs and unique LinkedIn profile targeting that Google cannot match, managed as a coordinated extension of your Google strategy.

Algorithmic bidding calibrated on offline conversion data combined with manual adjustments where human judgment outperforms automation.
Re-engaging prospects who visited your site but did not convert, including those who searched competitors after their initial visit.
Most PPC agencies ignore phone leads. We track every call, transcribe it with AI, categorize its quality, and feed call conversions back into bidding algorithms.
Dedicated landing pages per keyword theme with ongoing A/B testing that lifts conversion rates on your most expensive traffic.
Standard PPC optimizes for form fills. A form fill in insurance might convert to a bound policy at 8% — or 40% — depending on the keyword that generated it. Without offline conversion import, Google treats both keywords identically. With it, Google learns which keywords produce the 40% converters and bids accordingly. The result is transformative for industries with extended sales cycles.
When Google knows that keyword A produces $50K policies and keyword B produces tire-kickers, it allocates budget accordingly. Pinnacle Insurance saw cost-per-policy-application drop from $340 to $87.
Insurance policies bind 47 days after the click on average. Standard 30-day attribution windows miss the majority of conversions. Our models capture the full cycle and credit the right campaigns.
Quality Score improvements saved Pinnacle Insurance an estimated $280K annually in CPC costs. Higher scores mean lower costs on the same keywords at the same positions.
In insurance, 60%+ of conversions happen over the phone. AI call transcription categorizes call quality and feeds phone conversions back into bid algorithms as weighted conversion signals.
We built 1,400 keyword-level bid strategies for Pinnacle Insurance with automated rules cutting $34K per month in wasted spend on queries that historically never converted to policies.
Cost-per-policy-application (from $340) for Pinnacle Insurance
A step-by-step methodology for connecting your ad platforms to your actual revenue data — the single most impactful PPC improvement available.
We audit your CRM pipeline stages, identify which stages represent genuine buying intent, and map conversion events that should feed back into ad platforms. We determine conversion lag windows specific to your sales cycle and calculate stage-weighted conversion values.
Build the technical infrastructure connecting your CRM to Google Ads and Microsoft Ads. Configure GCLID capture in forms, set up automated conversion uploads, and validate data integrity with test conversions across each pipeline stage.
Rebuild campaign architecture around intent-based ad groups while deploying comprehensive negative keyword lists. Set up call tracking with AI transcription and configure enhanced conversions for first-party data matching.
Campaigns run with offline conversion data accumulating in ad platforms. During this phase, we manually optimize bids while algorithms learn from the new revenue signals. Daily monitoring, weekly negative keyword mining, and search term analysis.
With sufficient offline conversion data accumulated, transition to value-based Smart Bidding strategies trained on your actual revenue data. The algorithm now knows what a real customer looks like and bids accordingly. This is where results accelerate dramatically.
Monthly deep-dives connecting ad spend to CRM pipeline data and bound policies. We present which keywords, campaigns, and audiences produce actual revenue — not just leads — and scale budget on proven performers.

A multi-line insurance carrier with a $2.1M annual PPC budget hemorrhaging money because Google Smart Bidding optimized for form fills instead of bound policies, and nobody had connected the 47-day sales cycle data back to ad platforms.
Cost-per-policy-application sat at $340 with declining volume. Smart Bidding treated every form fill equally despite massive variance in downstream policy binding rates by keyword. The 47-day average lag between ad click and bound policy meant standard attribution windows missed the majority of conversions. Call leads generating 60%+ of policies were completely invisible to bid algorithms.
Built a custom attribution model connecting the first ad click to the bound policy through CRM, feeding actual policy data back into Google Smart Bidding through offline conversion import. Implemented call tracking with AI transcription categorizing call quality and importing phone conversions as weighted signals. Built 1,400 keyword-level bid strategies with automated rules cutting $34K monthly in wasted spend. Ran Quality Score improvement sprints targeting product-line-specific keyword clusters. Daypart optimization by product line matched bid strategies to when each insurance product converts best.
“Insurance has 47-day sales cycles — Google Smart Bidding optimizes for clicks, not bound policies. ZapTap built a custom attribution model that feeds actual policy data back into the bidding algorithm. Cost per policy application dropped from $340 to $87, and we are scaling volume four times faster than before. Nobody else in insurance PPC is doing this.”
Offline conversion import feeds your CRM pipeline data — qualified leads, booked demos, signed contracts, bound policies — back into Google and Microsoft Ads bidding algorithms. Without it, Smart Bidding optimizes for the conversion it can see, which is usually a form fill. With it, the algorithm learns which keywords, audiences, and times of day produce leads that actually close. For Pinnacle Insurance, this single change was the largest driver of cost-per-policy dropping from $340 to $87 because Google started bidding aggressively on keywords that produce policies and pulling back on keywords that produce tire-kickers.
We build conversion lag models specific to your sales cycle length. Insurance averages 47 days, enterprise SaaS can be 90+ days. We configure extended attribution windows, implement GCLID capture on all conversion points, and set up automated daily uploads of pipeline stage progressions to ad platforms. During the lag period before enough offline data accumulates, we optimize manually using leading indicators while the algorithm learns from your actual revenue data. Most agencies ignore this completely because it requires CRM integration work they cannot do.
In our experience auditing accounts, 20-40% of spend goes to queries that will never convert. For Pinnacle Insurance, we identified $34K per month in wasted spend from irrelevant queries, competitor misspellings, and informational searches that had been running unchecked. Our day-one negative keyword deployment across seven categories stops the largest leaks immediately, and weekly search term mining catches new waste as it appears. The free audit we offer will show you the exact dollar amount being wasted in your specific account.
We manage Google Ads, Microsoft Ads (Bing), and coordinate with Meta and LinkedIn campaigns when they are part of the acquisition mix. For PPC specifically, Google and Microsoft represent the core search intent channels. Microsoft Ads offers 20-40% lower CPCs than Google on identical queries with unique LinkedIn profile targeting capabilities. We allocate budget across platforms based on marginal ROAS, ensuring each dollar goes to the platform where it produces the highest incremental return.
Most agencies report Quality Score as a metric but never specifically work to improve it. We run dedicated improvement sprints targeting the three levers Google uses: expected CTR through ad copy testing, ad relevance through keyword-ad alignment, and landing page experience through page speed and content matching. For Pinnacle Insurance, Quality Score improvements across their account saved an estimated $280K annually in CPC costs. We track Quality Score weekly at the keyword level and run specific sprints when scores drop below target thresholds.
We implement dynamic number insertion for keyword-level call attribution, AI-powered transcription that categorizes call quality, and conversion import that feeds phone leads back into bid algorithms as weighted signals. In insurance PPC, 60%+ of conversions happen over the phone. If call data is invisible to your bid algorithm, it is optimizing on less than half the picture. Our call intelligence setup closes this gap and ensures Google and Microsoft know which keywords generate phone calls that convert to policies.
