Indeed Paid Job Ad Campaigns
Indeed Paid Job Ad Campaigns
When I started in 2022, MS-IL's Indeed monthly paid ad budget was set, with all jobs competing against one another in one bucket.
The problem: Imbalanced competition & ROI
Indeed's algorithm is designed to promote the jobs which have the most optimal average cost per apply, CPA.
Our smaller talent networks were competing against the larger Indy market for monthly budget spend, seeing limited results and a high average CPA as Indeed pushed Indy jobs to the top of search.
The solution: Indeed campaigns
I partnered with our Indeed rep to describe the problem.
Discovered a solution in performance and location-based campaigning.
I analyzed performance and average spend over 9 locations in a 6-month period to determine a proper test allocation.
