In late 2023, a skilled developer agency specializing in web and mobile applications was facing a major roadblock in scaling. Despite a strong portfolio and technical expertise, their lead generation strategy was inefficient and expensive with leads costing over $500 and very few converting. After deciding to scrap their old campaigns entirely, they partnered with us to rebuild their paid search approach from the ground up, aiming to drive qualified leads at sustainable costs and re-ignite their growth trajectory.
