Fixed-fee ad management · Mid-market B2B

The machine finds the pattern. Someone still has to decide what it means.

We run Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn and ChatGPT ad programs with AI doing the volume work and twenty-three years of search judgment deciding what ships. One fixed monthly fee. Measured in your CRM.

The model proposed

What ships

Budget: 70% Search, 30% Performance Max

40 / 20 / 40 with LinkedIn. Half this buyer’s journey happens before anyone searches.

Goal: maximize conversions, target CPA $140

Bid to opportunity value. The $140 leads are students and vendors.

Audience: expand to in-market segments, +22% reach

Build from closed-won in the CRM. 300 accounts that look like customers, not 3 million.

Negatives: 212 terms from last quarter’s waste

Accepted. This is the work the machine does better than we do.

Creative: rotate 15 generated headlines

Three. Each answers the objection sales hears on the first call.

Offer: “Request a demo”

A 15-minute teardown of their current setup. Everyone offers a demo; nobody offers to show them what’s broken.

Case study · Client name redacted · Data-management software

Pipeline went from a missed target to 230% of target in two quarters.

A B2B software company selling to data and analytics leaders across North America and Europe. The quarter before we rebuilt their campaigns, pipeline was lagging. Two quarters later: $4.4M against a $1.9M target, MQLs at 238% of goal, and cost per qualified lead falling on every platform.

What the model recommended

What we did

What the model recommended

What we did

Scale the top converter, the analyst-report campaign

Kept it and added SMB negatives. It was 64% of MQLs and 88% of disqualifications.

Cut brand campaigns to fund non-brand

Held brand. Zero disqualified, 15 to 17% to SQL, the cheapest MQLs in the mix.

Keep Meta for lead volume

Dropped it. Search carries intent; Google posted its highest conversion quarter on record.

Raise the Google budget now

Raised it 55%, but only after conversion volume proved out.

Programs and fees

Three fixed-fee programs, priced by scope.

A percent-of-spend fee rewards a bigger budget. A fixed fee rewards a better one. Every program includes conversion-tracking repair, weekly optimization, a live dashboard and a monthly report with an executive summary and change log.

How an engagement runs

Fix measurement first. Then let the platform spend.

Weeks 1–2

Audit and tracking

Conversion actions, GA4 key events, tag health, CRM stages. Nothing gets bid on until the numbers are trustworthy.

Weeks 3–4

Rebuild

Structure, search-term tiers, negatives, landing-page alignment and ad copy grounded in what already converts.

Months 2–3

Bid to pipeline

Offline imports and value rules so the platforms optimize to SQLs and opportunities, not whoever fills a form.

Ongoing

Scale with guardrails

Budget follows lead quality by campaign. Monthly review with sales, quarterly with leadership.

SEO and GEO, with any program or on its own

The same search data, working on both sides of the results page.

Paid search tells you which terms convert before SEO spends a quarter finding out. We use search-term data to set the month’s priorities, pull paid spend off terms you already own, and track where your company shows up when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI results instead of searching. Your team implements. We decide what comes first.

Monthly monitoring

Rankings, Search Console, AI visibility and paid overlap, read every month.

Priorities memo

What to fix first, with notes. Prioritized by paid conversion data, not crawl volume.

AI search visibility

Which prompts surface you, which surface competitors, and why.

Projects, quoted

Site audits, page-by-page optimization, redesign supervision, custom work.

Pricing

$1,000 a month, on its own or with any program.

Who this is for

B2B companies where a lead is the start of a sales cycle, not the end of one.

Fit

Mid-market B2B software, services and industrial. ACV above [$XXK]. A CRM you’ll let us connect to. Monthly media of [$XXK] or more.

Not fit

E-commerce, local lead gen, anyone who wants a dashboard of clicks, or a budget that has to grow every month to keep the agency interested.
