Air Kauai Helicopters, a premier helicopter tour provider, came to CausalFunnel seeking to improve the conversion rates on their website. Despite generating a high volume of traffic through their Google Ads campaigns, too many visitors were not converting into customers. So it became clear, our goal was to find an effective way to engage high-intent users and increase the number of booked tours through optimized conversion strategies.

Problem & Background

Despite a solid traffic flow, AirKauai Helicopters was struggling with low conversion rates. Their Google Ads campaigns attracted a significant number of clicks, but the visitors weren’t converting into bookings. This resulted in wasted ad spend and lower-than-expected ROI. The company faced challenges in targeting the right audience, which led to high traffic but low-quality leads. Their website lacked the tools to effectively engage and convert these visitors into paying customers.

Case Study

Our team here at CausalFunnel created a data-driven solution to increase conversion rates for AirKauai Helicopters. By integrating persona-based incentives, CausalFunnel’s AI targeted visitors based on their behavior and engagement patterns, which allowed the team to focus on identifying high-intent users who were most likely to convert. Thanks to these nudges, we were able to strategically increase engagement with the “Book Now” button, which significantly boosted their conversion rate.

One important element of this strategy was personalizing the user experience based on specific criteria, such as referral sources, first-time or returning visitors, and session behavior. If a user visited multiple pages or came from a high-value referral, they were shown nudges at strategic moments during their browsing experience. Different users are shown different nudges based off their browsing patterns. This approach helped us effectively target the right users at the right time, driving higher engagement for AirKauai Helicopters.

How CausalFunnel AI Fixed the Problem

The first step we took in the optimization process was analyzing their unique traffic and segmenting it into meaningful personas. Our proprietary CausalFunnel AI identified which visitors were more likely to book a tour and created custom incentives tailored to those users. These incentives were specifically designed to capture the attention of users who had shown interest in certain pages, increasing the likelihood that they would take action.

Next, our team used CausalFunnel AI to leverage real-time data and optimize bidding strategies for the AirKauai Helicopters Google Ads campaigns. By adjusting bids based on key performance indicators (KPIs) like cost-per-lead (CPL) and return on ad spend (ROAS), we was able to drive more high-quality clicks, ensuring that the company’s advertising budget was spent efficiently.

Key Takeaway : Landing pages were optimized for conversion, with personalized elements that were designed to resonate with users’ search intent. Whether a visitor came to the site looking for an adventure tour or a romantic helicopter ride, our CausalFunnel AI creates tailored landing pages that match those specific intentions. The result was a significant increase in conversions, as the landing pages were more aligned with user expectations, which boosted the click-through rate on the “Book Now” button. This led to a 3x increase in clicks. 

Conclusion

All in all, by implementing persona-based incentives and optimizing their Google Ads campaigns with our CausalFunnel AI, AirKauai Helicopters saw a great increase in conversions. The company experienced a 3x increase in clicks on the “Book Now” button, leading to more booked tours and higher ROI on their ad spend.
