Solutions — Paid acquisition
We build the full paid acquisition system: campaign architecture, landing pages that finish the ad’s promise, tracking that survives into the CRM, lead routing with a named owner, and weekly reporting that drives a decision. We do not scale spend into broken pages, missing attribution, or follow-up that sits for two days.
Bring: ad accounts, one landing URL, and your written definition of a qualified lead. If the site or follow-up is the weak link, we say so before we take the project.
Before you start paid
Acquisition is the bottleneck. The offer converts today. Sales has capacity to close more qualified leads. Tracking may be rough, but the real cap is volume at the right quality.
Request a project callLeads come in but sales says they are weak. Or the site does not pass the stranger test. Or follow-up is slow. Paid will multiply whatever is already broken — start with a diagnosis.
Start with a free homepage reviewWhat paid acquisition includes
Paid only works when every layer holds up — campaign, page, tracking, routing, reporting, and testing. We build them as one system, not as line items.
Rebuild or rebuild-from-scratch account structure — campaigns, ad groups, match types, audiences — around the services you actually want to grow.
Less junk volume. Spend lands on services your team can deliver at a profit.
The landing page finishes the promise the ad makes. One clear next step, fast load, proof a stranger can verify in under a minute.
Higher completion rate from the same paid clicks.
Tags, events, UTMs, and CRM fields set up so a click can be traced all the way to a closed deal — not just a form submit.
Cost per qualified lead is visible. "Where did this lead come from?" stops being a meeting.
Every paid lead lands in the CRM with source tags intact, assigned to a named owner, with a first-response SLA.
No lead sits in a shared inbox. Sales sees where each conversation came from before they pick up the phone.
Build the three to five reports that drive weekly decisions — move spend, pause a campaign, fix a landing page, fix follow-up.
You walk into the weekly review knowing what to change, not what to look up.
A disciplined test cadence: one variable at a time, enough budget to read a result, and a rule for when to scale or kill.
Repeatable wins get more budget. Dead variants stop bleeding the month.
When paid is the right move
Operating model
Every budget decision runs through the same loop — cautious until a win proves out, then aggressive once it does. That is how we avoid the classic paid failure mode of scaling the wrong thing fast.
A limited budget, one variable at a time, on audiences that represent who you actually want to win. We read it in weeks, not quarters.
Cheap leads mean nothing if sales disqualifies them. We score leads against a written definition of "qualified" before we call a test a win.
Winning ad × landing × audience combos get documented, protected from the next experiment, and given room to run.
Budget moves toward what has produced qualified leads at a known cost for two to four weeks in a row — not toward the ad that got the most clicks yesterday.
We test to find a keeper — an audience, offer, and page combo that repeats. Then spend follows the combo, not the plan.
The paid acquisition system
Break one link and the whole system leaks. Most paid failures are not bad ads — they are a broken handoff between the ad and the business.
The ad promises something specific. The landing page finishes that exact promise on the first screen.
If this breaksIf the ad says roofing and the page says "home services," the budget is lit on fire.
Form submit writes a record to the CRM with UTMs, campaign, and ad attached — not stripped.
If this breaksIf the rep cannot see where the lead came from, attribution is already broken.
Named owner, first-response SLA, and reminder if missed. Not a shared inbox and a promise.
If this breaksIf response time is over an hour, lead quality will look worse than it is.
Sales dispositions (qualified, not a fit, unreachable) feed back into the ad platforms and the weekly report.
If this breaksIf reporting stops at "form submits," you will scale junk.
The weekly read names what to move, pause, or fix. It is the input to next week's build, not a deck nobody opens.
If this breaksIf the report does not drive a decision, it is not the right report.
Paid acquisition proof
Each case names the paid problem, what shipped across the system, and what moved in lead quality, cost, or booked revenue.

Implementation FAQ
Not if acquisition is clearly the bottleneck and sales has capacity to close more. If the site, CRM, or follow-up is the real cap, we say so before we take the paid project — start with the free homepage review or a call.
Google Search + Performance Max, Meta (Facebook + Instagram), Local Services Ads, YouTube, and LinkedIn when the ICP justifies it. We pick channels based on where your buyers actually decide, not a fixed "channel mix" deck.
Yes. Paid without page alignment is waste. We either ship new landing pages on your stack (WordPress, Next.js, Webflow, Unbounce, etc.) or rework existing pages — whichever is faster to land.
We size tests so a bad two weeks does not wipe the quarter. Typical learning budget is enough to reach statistical signal on the thing you are actually testing — usually audience × creative × landing. After a win holds for 2–4 weeks we scale it.
We agree on a written definition of qualified before launch. Sales dispositions (qualified, not a fit, unreachable, no show) feed back into the ad platforms weekly. Cost per qualified lead and cost per booked call are the numbers we run on — not clicks or form fills.
One live dashboard you can open any time (spend, leads, qualified leads, cost per qualified lead by channel and campaign). A written weekly note with decisions made and why. A monthly close-out with the top wins, losses, and what changes next month.
Ad accounts (Google Ads, Meta Business Manager, LSA), GA4, Search Console, your CRM, website CMS or repo for landing page edits, and GTM. If some of those do not exist yet, we set them up in week one.
Both are available. Most accounts need a 90-day build-and-prove window, then settle into monthly work. If you just need a campaign rebuild and handoff, we do that as a fixed project.
Next step
Bring your ad accounts, a landing URL, and a written definition of a qualified lead. We rank the first 90 days across campaigns, landing pages, tracking, and routing — and you see a number before anything is committed.
If the site, CRM, or follow-up might be the real cap, start lighter. We do not open a paid project around a fuzzy target.
