Why This Matters

Most B2B Ad Spend Is Wasted on the Wrong Audience.

B2B advertising is fundamentally different from B2C. You’re not targeting millions of consumers — you’re trying to reach 500 specific decision-makers at specific companies. Most paid media agencies don’t understand that distinction. We do.

Traffic That Doesn’t Convert to Pipeline

Your campaigns generate clicks and website visits — but few qualified leads. The issue is almost always audience targeting: you’re reaching job seekers and students, not your actual ICP.

Reporting That Doesn’t Connect to Revenue

Your agency shows you cost-per-click and click-through rates. Your CFO wants to know cost-per-pipeline-dollar. Those are completely different metrics and most agencies only know how to report one.

No Creative Testing Framework

You’re running the same ads for 6 months because nobody is systematically testing alternatives. Stale creative is one of the fastest ways to destroy campaign ROI.

Google and LinkedIn Running Independently

Your Google campaigns and LinkedIn campaigns have no shared strategy. One should be capturing demand, the other should be creating it — but they’re running as if they don’t know each other exist.

What’s Included

Everything You Get.

01

B2B Audience Architecture

ICP-based audience segmentation across Google and LinkedIn — job titles, company sizes, industries, intent signals. Built to reach decision-makers at the exact companies you want.

02

Campaign Build & Launch

Full campaign structure built from scratch — ad groups, keywords (Google), audiences (LinkedIn), landing page alignment, conversion tracking, and attribution pixel setup.

03

AI-Assisted Bidding & Optimization

Bidding strategies that optimize for pipeline quality, not just conversion volume. Weekly bid management and campaign performance optimization.

04

Creative Testing Framework

Systematic A/B testing of ad creative — headlines, descriptions, images, CTAs — with documented hypotheses and results. Creative is refreshed based on data, not opinion.

05

Landing Page Conversion Review

Monthly review of landing page performance with CRO recommendations. You can’t fix ad ROI without fixing the page the ad drives to.

06

Pipeline Attribution Reporting

Weekly performance dashboards and monthly reports that show cost-per-MQL, cost-per-SQL, and pipeline generated — not just cost-per-click.

Why It Works

We’ve managed $5M+ in annual B2B ad spend across Google, LinkedIn, and programmatic channels. The B2B paid media playbook is completely different from B2C — longer sales cycles, smaller target audiences, and qualification-first conversion paths. We’ve built that playbook over 15+ years.

The Process

How We Deliver It.

1

Audience & Strategy

3

Launch & Optimize

Campaigns launch with weekly performance review and optimization. Every change is documented with the hypothesis and outcome.

4

Report & Improve

Bi-weekly performance reports and monthly strategic reviews. Quarterly creative refresh and audience expansion planning.

What We Measure

The KPIs We Track and Report On.

Every service has defined KPIs reported on a consistent cadence. No vanity metrics — only numbers that connect to revenue.

Cost Per MQL

The primary paid media KPI — how much it costs to generate one Marketing Qualified Lead. Industry benchmark varies but we target continuous improvement.

Weekly

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

Revenue generated per dollar of ad spend. Target: 4:1 minimum, 6:1 strong, 8:1+ exceptional for B2B.

Monthly

MQL → SQL Rate

Quality gate — if paid leads have a lower MQL→SQL rate than organic, targeting needs adjustment.

Weekly

Click-Through Rate (CTR)

Indicator of creative relevance and audience quality. Tracked as a diagnostic metric, not a primary KPI.

Weekly

Pipeline Sourced from Paid ($)

Total pipeline value attributed to paid media campaigns. The ultimate revenue accountability metric.

Monthly

Cost Per Pipeline Dollar

Total paid media spend divided by pipeline created. The CFO metric for paid advertising ROI.

Monthly
Who It’s For

Right Fit. Wrong Fit.

This Service is Built For You If…
B2B companies with a defined ICP and $3,000+ per month in available media budget
Teams where paid media is running but not generating qualified pipeline
Companies where Google or LinkedIn is already live but underperforming
Businesses that have never tried paid B2B advertising and want to start right
Any company that needs a clear answer on what paid media is actually generating
This Probably Isn’t the Right Fit If…
Companies without a minimum $3,000/month media budget (insufficient to test and learn)
B2C businesses or businesses with very broad consumer audiences
Teams not willing to build or improve landing pages alongside campaigns
Anyone expecting leads in week one (B2B paid needs 4–6 weeks to optimize)
