Where silos burn budget

You bid on keywords you already rank #1 for organically. You buy traffic to landing pages that haven't been tested. SEO targets head terms that ads convert for at 1/5 the CPL. The infographic visualises each leak with a small example.

The 7-step integrated playbook

(1) Merge keyword lists. (2) Suppress paid bids on dominant organic terms. (3) Use ads to test landing-page variants for SEO. (4) Use SEO data to find low-CPC long-tail. (5) Share negative keywords across teams. (6) Build a single attribution dashboard. (7) Reallocate budget monthly. Most clients see CPL drop 25–35% by week 6 and 40–60% by week 12. See the article on lowering cost per lead with SEO and Google Ads for the full operations manual.
