Case studies

How our process plays out

The examples below are fictional and illustrative — built to show our approach, not to claim real client results. All metrics are realistic sample ranges.

Home Improvement · Illustrative

Kitchen remodeler moving beyond referrals

Challenge

Steady referral business but unpredictable months. No paid presence, no tracking, and a website that wasn't built to convert paid traffic.

Strategy

Local search campaigns around remodel-intent keywords, a dedicated estimate-request landing page, and call tracking so every lead source was measurable.

Timeline

Roughly 90 days from audit to a stable, optimized campaign.

Sample performance range

In an engagement like this, we'd typically look for cost per lead to trend down 15–30% from launch baseline as negatives, ad copy, and page tests compound, with monthly estimate requests growing steadily quarter over quarter.

B2B Marketing · Illustrative

Software consultancy with an empty pipeline

Challenge

Great close rate on calls, but almost no calls. Previous agency drove clicks that never became meetings.

Strategy

Intent-mapped keyword research separating buyers from job-seekers and students, LinkedIn-style audience refinement on paid social, and a landing page rebuilt around a single clear consultation offer.

Timeline

Four to five months, reflecting a longer B2B consideration cycle.

Sample performance range

A realistic target here is lead quality improvement first — a higher share of leads accepting a meeting — followed by gradual volume growth of 20–40% over the engagement as the account matures.

Home Services · Illustrative

HVAC company fighting seasonal swings

Challenge

Feast-or-famine demand: overwhelmed in July, quiet in October. Budget spent evenly year-round without matching demand curves.

Strategy

Seasonal budget pacing, service-specific ad groups (repair vs. maintenance vs. install), and a mobile-first landing page with click-to-call prominent for emergency intent.

Timeline

One full season (about six months) to prove the pacing model.

Sample performance range

Sample outcomes for this pattern: steadier month-to-month lead flow, better budget utilization in shoulder months, and a cost-per-lead range that narrows rather than spikes with the weather.

Health & Beauty · Illustrative

Skincare studio navigating strict ad policies

Challenge

Previous ads repeatedly disapproved for policy issues. The team assumed paid media 'didn't work' for their category.

Strategy

Policy-compliant creative and landing page copy, careful claim substantiation, and native advertising tests alongside search — all built to pass review, not dodge it.

Timeline

About 90 days, including platform review cycles.

Sample performance range

Realistic expectations: consistent ad approval, a stable account standing, and gradual booking growth in the 10–25% range once compliant campaigns can actually run and be optimized.
