The Challenges

Before partnering, the company faced multiple issues in its lead generation strategy:


No structured ad strategy across Meta, Google, or YouTube

Team not tracking analytics to measure CPL or conversion rates

No integration with a CRM, making it impossible to track lead quality

Lack of strategic testing & market segmentation to determine the best-performing audiences/angles

Slow business growth, leading to layoffs in Q4 2023


Although they were running ads, they didn’t have a clear idea of which leads converted into paying customers, making it difficult to improve their approach

Higher engagement & lead quality – By integrating sales feedback into our targeting, we improved lead qualification over time.
