The Brief

Based in Nottingham, Total BJJ provides Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at all ages – including kids and adults, and all levels starting from beginners up to advanced attendees. Total BJJ contacted OCPR, asking for support in boosting the number of attendees to their BJJ classes, having just recently set up the business and established the class schedule.

OCPR were asked to create a new website, along with PPC ad campaigns initially running via Google Ads, before then expanding into Meta Ads at around the 5 month mark, with the aim of utilising Google sponsored results to increase bookings quickly to drive much needed revenue into the business from classes.

THE CHALLENGES

Crowded Market: The martial arts / jiu-jitsu market has some very big players, who operate out of multiple locations around the country, along with smaller rural providers. This means that there is a mix of larger more competitive budgets, that push smaller up and coming providers down in search results, or increase cost per click as advertisers have to outbid / outrank these providers in order to be seen, even at a local level.

Localised Approach: A localised approach meant that traffic volumes were smaller, and in a big city such as Nottingham, cost per clicks went way beyond the benchmark average due to the volume of competition. Therefore we needed to be extra vigilant to ensure keywords selected performed well, and that wasted spend was kept to a minimum.

Speedy Set Up: As Total BJJ has just started out, it was important to drive much needed revenue into the business quickly. We turned around the initial Google Ads setup – including campaign strategy, research, ad copy drafting, campaign creation and tracking in under 2 weeks, in order to start driving new pupils.

THE WORK

Campaign Strategy: Our campaign strategy has changed with time. We started out by targeting free BJJ classes on Google locally, before expanding our keyword pool into focused ad groups and ad sets targeting beginners, kids and advanced adults to extend our reach further, and deliver ads to a greater number of relevant users who then converted into new pupils.

Content Optimisation: To assist with ad rank, quality score and decrease cost per click on Google Ads, we created a number of landing pages to add into the Total BJJ site. These were optimised for the keywords used in our campaigns. On Meta, we also created a number of variations of branded free sign up graphics to a/b test which creative type worked best on our campaigns. Through application of new creatives and new landing pages – conversion rate increased from an average 8% to 12%.

Additional Channels: At the 5 month mark, due to our ever-improving results on Google Ads, the client approached us to trial a smaller, low budget Meta campaign to drive free class sign ups. In the first month we drove 20 enquiries at an average £12 per sign up.

THE RESULTS

150+ New Enquiries: In the first 6 months we have driven over 150 new enrollments into full time classes with Total BJJ

Low CPA: Over time CPA has fallen from an initial £50 in month 1 to now averaging at £15 per sign up at the end of month 6.

High Conversion Rate: The average conversion rate of our campaigns was 12% well beyond the expected conversion rate benchmark of 3-4%.

Through continuous optimisation of performance, and the creation of an optimised website we have helped to deliver Total BJJ the influx in new pupil bookings needed to support their growth into an established and competitive martial arts provider. With every month that passes, pupil numbers are growing and cost per sign up is gradually decreasing.
