For service businesses

More Qualified Leads, and Proof of What Each One Is Worth

We are a service business ourselves, so we know how hard lead generation has become. Clicks that never turn into enquiries, budgets that drain without a pattern, and every lead more expensive than the last. We fix the measurement first, then the pipeline.

We are a service business ourselves

That is why we know exactly how challenging lead generation has become. The symptoms below turn up in almost every account we audit, and none of them is solved by a bigger budget.

Sound familiar?

  • You are getting clicks, but too few turn into real leads.
  • The ad platforms keep spending your budget without delivering quality enquiries, and nobody can say which channel actually works.
  • Tracking performance across several touchpoints is nearly impossible.
  • Every lead feels more expensive than the last.

So how do you attract the right prospects, fill the pipeline and grow without wasting budget? With a data driven lead generation strategy, and a partner who does things a little differently from most agencies.

How we do it

What we do differently, and why it works

We start with what matters most: perfect conversion tracking. Reliable data on what actually produces enquiries and closed deals is the foundation, and it is so important to us that we built our own software for it.

Always first

Micro conversions, measured

A form submission is the end of a journey. We measure the steps before it, so the ad platforms learn from real intent instead of from accidents.

  • Calls, form starts, brochure downloads and chat opens, each with its own value
  • Consent mode, enhanced conversions and server side tracking
  • Offline conversions imported from the CRM, so closed deals count
  • A baseline before any campaign changes

Our tracking software is used by more than 50,000 companies every day.

The core

Google Ads for lead generation

Search, Performance Max and remarketing structured around what an enquiry is worth to you, not around the cheapest click.

  • Campaigns split by service and by intent
  • Bidding on the value of a lead, not on its count
  • Negative keywords and audience work that keep tyre kickers out
  • Expert optimisation for any budget

Where your buyers are

LinkedIn, Meta and the rest

Some services are found in Search, others are decided on LinkedIn or Instagram long before anyone types a query.

  • LinkedIn for B2B decision makers
  • Meta and TikTok where the audience is consumers
  • Retargeting across channels that follows the enquiry, not the click
  • A clear no when a channel does not earn its budget

Eight platforms, one measurement setup behind all of them.

From enquiry to closed deal

A CRM that talks to the ads

Lead generation stops being guesswork when the ad platforms know which enquiries became customers.

  • HubSpot setup, pipelines and lead scoring
  • Lead lifetime value fed back into Target ROAS bidding
  • Workflows that follow up every enquiry within minutes
  • Marketing and sales working from one pipeline

Quality over quantity

Better leads, not just more

Cheap leads that never close cost more than expensive ones that do. We optimise for the second kind.

  • Qualifying questions on the form where they pay off
  • Lead scoring so sales calls the right people first
  • Cost per qualified lead as the number we report, not cost per click
  • Regular reviews of which campaigns produce customers

Where the enquiry happens

Landing pages and conversion rate

Better campaigns bring more of the right visitors. The page decides whether they get in touch.

  • Landing page audits: message, trust signals, speed and mobile
  • Forms that ask enough to qualify and not so much that people leave
  • Test ideas ranked by expected impact
  • The free CRO checklist for lead generation as a starting point

Your questions, answered

What service businesses ask us before they book

The honest answers. Anything missing, ask us on the call.

What sets you apart from other agencies?

Four things, and each of them is checkable.

  • Your revenue and profit from paid ads are likely to grow, as they have for every client we have onboarded so far, because we are specialists in measuring paid ad performance. We develop and sell our own analytics software, used by over 50,000 websites every day.
  • We have skin in the game. We run our own online shop and we need to generate leads for the agency too, so new opportunities are tested on our own money before we pass them on.
  • Your campaigns are in expert hands. Every account is managed by senior, Google certified marketers. No juniors, no outsourcing.
  • We are a well staffed, mid sized agency that has time for you and communicates. No disappearing account managers, no endless waiting.
What happens in the free strategy call?

A personalised session that analyses your current setup and finds the growth you are leaving on the table.

  • An audit of your marketing performance: we review your existing accounts, whether Google Ads, HubSpot or your website, and compare them against our industry benchmarks.
  • Growth opportunities: where you are not reaching your potential, whether in paid ads, tracking, HubSpot workflows or the landing pages.
  • A free marketing plan with strategies and operational measures, whether you need a one off optimisation, full account management or technical improvements.
  • A price estimate, if you would like us to implement what we discussed. No obligation, everything we share in the call is yours to use.
How do I know you will not promise the world and then deliver mediocre results?

We understand the concern, we get emails promising us leads every day too. Read our Google reviews: you will not find an unhappy client, because we genuinely care about the people we work for. We are a medium sized agency with a deliberately limited number of clients, so we have time for you. And on performance, we can stand behind our results: so far we have improved revenue and profitability for every client who came on board.

Do you only do Google Ads, or social media as well?

Both, and more. Google is still the most profitable platform for most service businesses, but we integrate it with LinkedIn, Meta, TikTok and other channels whenever that fits your goals and your KPIs.

How can ads be profitable, and what does ROAS mean?

The simplest example is a product. Imagine you sell books online: we run a Google ad, a customer clicks it (say that costs you 1 dollar) and buys the book for 5 dollars. Google Ads records one conversion, 1 dollar of ad spend and 5 dollars of revenue, so your return on ad spend (ROAS) is 5.0: revenue divided by ad spend. Whether that is profitable depends on your costs.

ItemAmount
Book cost$1
Shipping cost$1
Total cost of goods$2
Google Ads cost$1
Total cost per sale$3
Profit$2
What is left from a book sold at 5 dollars

For a service business the logic is the same, only the "product" is a closed deal and the cost of goods is the time it takes to deliver. We work out what a lead needs to be worth for the campaigns to pay, and set the bidding to that number.

Do you build websites?

Not from scratch, we expect you to have a website already. We do have good industry contacts and can advise on software and on who to talk to. What we do offer is conversion rate optimisation for the pages you have, and websites on the HubSpot CMS where a CRM project calls for it.

Is it fine that my website runs on a particular software?

Yes. So far we have managed to improve marketing results and performance on every kind of software our clients have brought us.

Can I visit your office in Zurich, and where do I park?

Yes, we are there five days a week. Book an appointment and drop by. For parking we recommend Stampfenbachstrasse, and you will find us on Google Maps.
