Every campaign is built to move buyers through your funnel — from first click to closed deal. No vanity metrics. No wasted spend.

03 — How It Works

From audit to pipeline in four steps.

No three-month ramp. Campaigns launch in week two.

Week 1

Audit & Strategy

We audit your existing ad accounts, CRM data, and conversion paths. You get a paid media plan with channel allocation, target CPL, and projected pipeline — modeled from your actual sales data.

Week 2

Build & Launch

Campaign architecture, ad copy, creative, and landing pages are built and reviewed. Tracking is configured end-to-end — UTMs, CRM integration, offline conversion imports. Campaigns go live.

Weeks 3-8

Optimize & Scale

Daily bid management. Weekly creative refreshes. A/B tests on landing pages, ad copy, and audiences. Budget shifts toward what is generating pipeline, not just leads. Waste gets cut fast.

Ongoing

Report & Expand

Weekly reporting tied to CRM data: leads, SQLs, pipeline, and ROAS. Monthly strategy reviews to expand into new channels, audiences, and geographies as performance compounds.

04 — Channels

Google vs. LinkedIn vs. Meta for SaaS.

Each channel serves a different stage of the B2B buying journey. Here is when we use each and what to expect.

Google Search & Display

Bottom-of-funnel

High intent

Best for Capturing buyers actively searching for your category or competitor names

Typical CPL $50 - $200 (varies by category competitiveness)

Funnel stage Mid to bottom. Buyers have identified a problem and are comparing solutions.

When to use Your category has search volume. Buyers Google solutions before buying. You want leads today, not next quarter.

LinkedIn Ads

Top & mid-funnel

Precision targeting

Best for Reaching decision-makers by title, company size, and industry. ABM at scale.

Typical CPL $80 - $350 (higher CPL, but higher lead quality and ACV)

Funnel stage Top to mid. Creating demand among buyers who do not know they need you yet.

When to use ACV above $25K. You sell to specific titles or industries. Your category lacks search volume. You need to create demand, not just capture it.

Meta (Facebook & Instagram)

Top-of-funnel

Retargeting

Best for Low-CPM awareness, retargeting website visitors, and lookalike audience expansion

Typical CPL $30 - $120 (lower CPL, but requires stronger qualification)

Funnel stage Top-of-funnel awareness and mid-funnel retargeting. Keeps your brand visible.

When to use You need affordable retargeting. Your audience is on social. You have website traffic to retarget but no nurture system converting it.

06 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Most of our SaaS clients invest between $5K and $50K per month in ad spend, plus management fees. The right budget depends on your ACV, sales cycle length, and target CPL. We model this out during the strategy call so you know exactly what to expect before a dollar is spent.

It depends on your ACV and buyer. Google Search captures high-intent demand from buyers actively looking for a solution. LinkedIn reaches decision-makers by title, company size, and industry — ideal for ACV above $25K. Meta works best for retargeting and top-of-funnel awareness at lower CPMs. Most SaaS companies need a mix, and we help you find the right allocation.

We integrate directly with your CRM — HubSpot, Salesforce, or whatever you use — so every lead, opportunity, and closed deal traces back to the campaign, ad group, and keyword that generated it. No guessing. No relying on platform-reported conversions alone. You see pipeline and revenue, not just clicks.

Both. Ads are only half the equation. We build dedicated landing pages for every campaign, A/B test them continuously, and optimize for pipeline — not just form fills. Our design and dev team handles everything from wireframe to deployment.

You will see traffic and leads within the first two weeks. Statistically significant optimization takes 30-60 days. Pipeline impact — the metric that actually matters — typically shows within 60-90 days depending on your sales cycle. We set clear milestones for each phase so you always know where you stand.

Yes. We audit your existing accounts, identify waste, and restructure campaigns around pipeline performance. Most takeovers find 20-40% of spend going to non-converting keywords, audiences, or placements. We fix that in week one and build from there.
