The company

About Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is a leading global connectivity cloud company that helps make the internet faster, more secure, and more reliable for millions of businesses. Its product portfolio spans security, performance, and zero trust networking — sitting inside a category that includes Akamai, Fastly, and Zscaler — and competes on a unified network architecture that consolidates security and performance services in one platform.

Cloudflare's Enterprise motion targets large organizations with complex networking and security needs. The buyer spans IT leadership, security architects, and infrastructure teams, with sales cycles driven by named-account engagement and procurement-led evaluation processes.

The problem

The problem.

Cloudflare's Enterprise entity faced challenges growing qualified lead volume sustainably. They needed to improve Paid Search effectiveness to achieve higher lead volume and a higher lead-to-qualified-lead ratio. The existing campaign structure didn't differentiate between brand and non-brand intent — making it hard to optimize spend toward the audiences that actually drove qualified pipeline.

The work

What we built.

We reworked the campaign structure on Google Ads through a multi-faceted approach: segregating campaigns by brand and non-brand keyword intent, and aligning these campaigns with a granular analysis of lead-to-qualified-lead ratios. We also implemented offline conversion tracking, mapping conversion actions to specific demand generation funnel stages. By focusing on the lead to qualified lead ratios, we optimized keywords, assets, and allocated spend against the audiences most likely to close.
