Driving 3x revenue growth in a regulated niche with paid media

PsychicWorld, operating in a highly regulated advertising space, faced challenges with low conversions and limited sales growth. By combining first-party data, AI-driven smart bidding, refined keyword targeting, and landing page optimization, I achieved a 272% increase in purchases, a 51% reduction in costs, and a 166% rise in revenue.

About PsychicWorld

PsychicWorld is a global platform in the spiritual services space that offers psychic readings, tarot consultations, and personalized spiritual guidance online. As a digital-first brand, PsychicWorld depends on advertising to reach customers seeking authentic spiritual experiences. Advertising in this industry presents unique challenges, as major platforms restrict ad copy, keywords, and messaging due to compliance policies. These restrictions limited the ability to scale campaigns and reach new audiences. Despite a loyal customer base, PsychicWorld’s growth remained constrained since earlier campaigns failed to attract higher-value audiences or deliver strong conversions. They needed expert support to manage advertising in compliance with strict regulations, improve ROAS, and increase customer lifetime value.

The challenge

PsychicWorld faced major challenges with its paid media strategy before working with me. Strict advertising compliance restricted keywords, ad copy, and landing page variations, which limited reach and scalability. Broad targeting without effective segmentation increased costs, attracted low-quality leads, and hurt customer retention.

Their campaigns underused first-party data and account insights. Large ad spends consumed budget but failed to generate consistent conversions or long-term revenue growth. In the spiritual services market, customer behavior differs—some make one-off purchases, while others become long-term clients who contribute significant lifetime value.

To grow sustainably, PsychicWorld needed a strategy that identified and nurtured high-value customers while operating within strict compliance rules. Without strategic adjustments, acquisition costs kept climbing, growth stagnated, and long-term revenue potential remained limited.

Esteemed digital marketing solutions

To address these challenges, I created a structured, data-driven paid media strategy focused on maximizing conversions under strict compliance requirements. I began by performing detailed keyword research to uncover high-intent search terms with a proven performance history. Ad copy and landing pages were rebuilt to align with this refined targeting, maintaining compliance while increasing relevance and engagement.

I used PsychicWorld’s first-party customer data to identify “Unicorn” customers—high-value repeat buyers—and developed Performance Max campaigns using these lists as audience signals. This allowed AI and machine learning tools to refine targeting and improve efficiency. I applied smart bidding strategies to optimize budgets in real time, concentrating spend on users most likely to convert and deliver long-term value.

Key steps included:

  • Developed a custom paid media strategy aligned with industry restrictions
  • Applied compliance-friendly keyword targeting and ad copy refinement
  • Integrated first-party data to power Performance Max campaigns
  • Used AI-driven smart bidding for cost efficiency and stronger targeting
  • Optimized landing pages to improve conversion rates
For PsychicWorld, we put together a robust digital strategy that included:
