The brief

A tax filing service that makes filing simple for individuals and small businesses, with automation and lean services.

FreedomTax Japan makes tax filing simple by doing taxes and nothing else. It skips extras like bookkeeping and payroll. With automation and lean services, its tax help is low cost, quick and easy to use from anywhere.

But its digital ads were not working, and its campaigns failed to deliver a steady return.

The problem

Google Ads that didn't work, no LinkedIn presence and wasted spend.

The Google Ads earned impressions but few conversions, so spend went to waste.

Weak keyword research and broad targeting brought the wrong traffic. Landing pages were weak, and low CTRs held results back.

FreedomTax also had no LinkedIn presence. It was missing a key chance to reach business professionals.

What we did

Rebuild Google Ads and add LinkedIn for B2B reach.

We overhauled the whole ad strategy.

Deep keyword research shaped focused Google campaigns. We built new ad groups that fit each search and kept tuning the campaigns. Once Google was performing better, we expanded to LinkedIn Ads to reach business professionals.
