23% Cheaper Leads for Brighouse Flooring After Leaving Yell
Brighouse Flooring was getting enquiries from Google Ads, but had no clear view of what each one was costing. This case study shows how moving away from Yell advertising and into a Google Ads account they own gave them clear numbers, more of their budget working in the ads and cheaper, verified leads.

Project Results
Since we took over in January 2026, Brighouse Flooring has had something it never had before: a clear view of what its advertising delivers. From June to September 2026, the account produced 129 verified enquiries at £30.57 each, 23% less than before. With more of the monthly budget now going into the ads themselves, the same investment works harder.
The Numbers
£30.57
per verified enquiry, from £39.56
129
checked enquiries, June to September
94%

£1,000
a month reaching Google, from £750
The Problem
Leads were arriving, but nobody could say what each one cost
Brighouse Flooring's Google Ads were managed through Yell. The system was difficult to follow unless you work in marketing, and the team rarely dealt with the same account manager for long.
How we solved it
The Solution
We rebuilt Brighouse Flooring’s advertising around ownership, accurate tracking and clear reporting:
An Account Brighouse Owns
- A fresh Google Ads account, registered to Brighouse Flooring, launched in January 2026
- All the account’s data and history stays with the business, whoever manages it
Verified Enquiries, Not Estimates
- Call tracking software logging every phone call and form submission from the ads
- Calls can be played back, so the team can hear exactly what each enquiry was about
Campaigns Focused on Their Patch
- Targeting concentrated on West Yorkshire, where the team works every day
- A separate brand campaign, appearing on 94% of searches for the Brighouse Flooring name
Clear Reporting and One Point of Contact
- A dedicated contact with regular catch-up calls
- Monthly reports built around two numbers: spend and cost per lead
- Clear explanations for every change, plus ideas for what to try next

Partnering with Unbranded Digital to drive our web traffic and manage our advertising was one of the best moves we’ve made.
They took the time to understand our target market, tightened up our ad spend, and delivered a noticeable increase in quality enquiries. Professional, data-driven, and a pleasure to work with.
The Outcome
Brighouse Flooring now pays less for each enquiry, puts more of its budget into the ads and can see exactly what it gets back:
| KPI | Under Yell | Now | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per lead | £39.56 | £30.57 | 23% lower |
| Monthly budget reaching Google | £750 | £1,000 | +33% |
| Who owns the account | Yell | Brighouse | Full control |
| Enquiry tracking | Hard to see | Every call & form | Verified |
Current enquiry and cost per lead figures cover June to September 2026. Earlier figures relate to the account when it was run by Yell.
- Cost per lead down 23%, from £39.56 under Yell to £30.57 per verified enquiry
- 129 verified enquiries, from June to September 2026
- 33% more budget working in Google, with £1,000 a month now reaching the ads for a comparable management fee
- Full ownership of the account and its data, for the first time
- Monthly reporting that’s easy to follow, showing exactly what the advertising delivers
Key Takeaways
You can’t improve what you can’t see. Once Brighouse Flooring owned their account and every enquiry was tracked, the cost of each lead became clear, and then it came down. For small businesses on Yell advertising or a similar bundled package, moving to an account in their own name can mean more of the budget reaching the ads and far better insight into what those ads bring in.
