Reducing Cost Per Booking for a UK Taxi Company

Service: Google Ads Management

Client: Local Taxi Company

Industry: Transport / Private Hire

The Challenge

A local UK taxi company was running Google Ads, but the results simply weren’t there. Despite ongoing campaigns, they were trapped in a cycle of high costs and poor performance.

Their cost per booking consistently sat between £10-£12—unsustainable for a high-volume, low-margin business. Poor campaign structure was attracting irrelevant traffic, ad relevance was suffering, and their budget was leaking with nothing to show for it. They came to Legend DigiTech needing a complete rescue job.  

The Results

The impact was immediate and dramatic. Within just two weeks of launching the restructured campaigns, Legend DigiTech delivered: 

  • 70+ bookings from a scaled campaign at just £4.80 per acquisition
  • CPA reduced from £10-12 to as low as £3.09 (a ~70% cost reduction)
  • CTR increased to 10.27%, indicating highly relevant ads
  • ~21% conversion rate from one campaign snapshot

The solution

  • Legend DigiTech conducted a full account audit and foun`d a campaign structure that was holding everything back. Here’s how we started:
  • Landing page alignment: The booking journey was streamlined to remove friction and improve conversion rates.   
  • Complete campaign restructuring: We rebuilt everything with tightly themed ad groups focused exclusively on high-intent booking keywords. Wasted spend was cut-down through aggressive negative keyword targeting.
  • Ad copy overhaul: New ad copy with stronger local intent signals dramatically improved ad relevance and Quality Score.
  • Smarter bidding and targeting: We switched to conversion-focused bidding, refined geo-targeting to focus on high-demand service areas, and implemented device-level bid adjustments.

What the client said:

“Legend DigiTech turned our Google Ads around in two weeks. Our cost per booking dropped by 70% and we’re finally getting consistent, profitable results. They have helped us rebuild everything the right way.” 

Dr. Yasser Mehrez runs a respected pain management clinic in London. His website had strong medical content and a solid reputation. But then something went wrong. 

A security-related incident compromised the site’s performance. Irrelevant queries began appearing in search reports, indexing became erratic, and core treatment pages (the pages that actually mattered) lost visibility. For a Harley Street practice, being hard to find online simply wasn’t an option. 

He came to Legend DigiTech with request to restore search trust, rebuild medical authority, and ensure the website could be found by patients who needed his expertise.
