PPC landing pages with micro-conversions: +51% conversion rate
Test run byKlientBoostCRO agency
Commentary byLiftArchiveOur analysis, not theirsBusiness Class Experts saw its paid search conversion rate rise 51% after custom landing pages with micro-conversions launched alongside rebuilt Google Ads campaigns.
KlientBoost ran the work for the discount business-class flight broker and published it as a PDF case study.
Ads, remarketing and pages changed together, so this is a bundled before/after result.
- Conversion rate: +51%, covering the pages and campaign changes together.
- Cost per conversion: down 39%.
- Cost per click: down 42%, which comes from the ad side, not the landing pages.
The change
Full quote form replaced by an easy first step
Simplified mockup drawn by LiftArchive from the shared screenshots.
Control
Business Class Experts' earlier paid campaigns and destination pages, which the owner felt were underperforming.
Variant
KlientBoost built custom landing pages that use micro-conversions, which are small actions before the main lead. The PDF does not say which ones. These launched with single keyword ad groups, display placements and remarketing.
Why it likely won
Our reading of the result, not the practitioner's claim.
- A small first action feels easier than a full quote form and pulls visitors into the flow.
- Once someone has started, they are more likely to finish, so micro-conversions can lift completed leads.
- Cheaper clicks and remarketing likely did a lot of the work on cost per conversion.
Caveats: Agency-reported before/after of a whole paid-media engagement; the page's share of the lift is unknown. No dates, sample size or significance were shared.

How to run this test on your site
- Hypothesis
- If we open the landing page with a small, easy first step instead of the full quote form, then more visitors will complete a quote request because starting feels low effort.
- Primary metric
- Completed quote requests per paid visitor
- Guardrails
- First-step to completion rate
- Lead-to-booking rate
- Cost per booking
- Who should test it
- Travel brokers and other quote-based lead-gen businesses with long forms. It helps less when your form is already one or two fields.
Questions
What is a micro-conversion on a landing page?
It is a small action that comes before the main goal, such as choosing an option or answering one question. It eases visitors into a longer form.
Do micro-conversions lower lead quality?
Not by themselves, since visitors still finish the full form.
Watch drop-off between steps and lead-to-sale rate to be sure.
