When the right buyers can't find you

If traffic is up but pipeline isn't, you're reaching the wrong people, or not showing up where buyers now look.

  • Traffic is up, but qualified pipeline is flat.

  • Paid search costs more every quarter, and the leads are getting worse.

  • You rank for your own name, but buyers who don't know you can't find you.

  • You don't know whether ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews mention you.

  • Marketing reports leads, and sales says they're the wrong accounts.

Buyers are harder to reach

Buyers research on their own before they talk to you, and most searches now end without a click.

  1. Agree what counts

    Who you're trying to reach, what a qualified lead is, and how we'll track it from first visit to opportunity.

  2. Find the gaps

    Where buyers search, what they ask AI tools, where competitors show up instead of you, and what your current content is doing.

  3. Fix the foundations

    Technical SEO, page structure and content that search engines and AI tools can read and quote.

  4. Create and campaign

    Content, SEO and paid search aimed at the questions your buyers ask before they talk to sales.

  5. Report on pipeline

    What each channel contributed, shown honestly, including what we can't track.

What actually brings in pipeline

Three things worth knowing before you spend more.

More traffic isn't more pipeline

Visits only matter if they're the right accounts and lead somewhere you can measure. We report on qualified leads and opportunities, not sessions.

AI search doesn't need tricks

Google says there's nothing special to do for AI Overviews beyond good, crawlable, useful pages. Anyone selling a secret AI formula is guessing.

A mention isn't a lead

Being cited by an AI tool, getting a visit and winning a lead are three different things, so we report them separately.

Does your acquisition reporting mean anything?

Five questions to ask about the last report you saw.

  • Does it go further than traffic, rankings and clicks?
  • Can you trace a lead back to the channel that first brought them in?
  • Do marketing and sales agree on what a qualified lead is?
  • Does it show what's untracked as well as what's tracked?
  • Has it ever led to stopping something that wasn't working?

The things people usually ask

Plain answers about customer acquisition, what's involved and what we need from you. Anything else, just ask.

How long before we see results?

Paid search shows data within weeks. SEO usually takes months, depending on competition and how quickly changes go live. Pipeline follows your sales cycle, so we agree early signs to watch as well.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody controls Google's results, and anyone who guarantees rankings is guaranteeing the wrong thing.

Who owns the accounts and content?

You do. Ad accounts, analytics and content stay in your name, so you're never tied to us, and you can switch agencies without starting again.
