The Channels Barely Change. What Counts as a Good Lead Does.
We run the same four things for every client: Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO and the pages people land on. What changes by industry is the definition of a good lead, how long the sale takes, and which rules you have to work inside.
- A good lead defined first, before a single dollar is spent
- Your sales cycle built into tracking, however long it runs
- Industry rules scoped up front, not discovered mid-campaign

We review your ads, tracking, landing pages and customer journey, then walk you through what we'd fix first. You keep the findings either way.
No pitch deck. One call, plain English.
Why does industry experience matter in marketing?
Because the platforms optimize toward whatever you tell them counts, and that differs sharply by industry. A booked appointment, a qualified opportunity, a purchase with healthy margin and an enrollment are four different things, and an agency that treats them all as "leads" will buy you the cheapest of them.
Industry experience also saves time on the constraints: what you can and can't say in an ad, what the sales cycle does to your tracking, and which searches look valuable but never convert. None of that is guesswork you want to pay for twice.
A good lead, agreed up frontWhat changes from one industry to another?
Four things, mostly: the outcome worth paying for, how long the buyer takes, the rules you advertise inside, and where the demand already exists.
| What changes | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The outcome worth counting | It's what the ad platforms learn from, so a vague one wastes budget |
| Sales cycle length | Long cycles need earlier signals sent back, or the bidding learns nothing |
| Advertising rules | Some industries restrict targeting, claims or data collection |
| Where demand sits | Search captures existing demand, social creates it; the mix differs |
| What proof convinces | Reviews, case studies, credentials or trial access, depending on the buyer |
Which industries do you work with?
Eight, below. If yours isn't here, the work is usually still recognizable: we start from what a customer is worth and what the sales process needs, then build from there.
Not sure your campaigns are counting the right thing?
The free audit shows what your ad accounts are optimizing for, and whether it matches what makes you money.
Do you have to know our industry to run our ads?
No, but we do have to understand your customer and your numbers before spending anything. What a customer is worth, which leads your sales team actually wants, and what happens after the form is submitted matter more than whether we've run ads in your sector before.
The honest version: sector knowledge shortens the learning period, it doesn't replace the measurement work. An agency that knows your industry but can't connect your CRM to your ad accounts will still be guessing.
Your numbers before our opinionsHow do you work out what a good lead is for us?
We start from the end. What does a closed sale look like, what did the customer do before that, and which of those steps happens soon enough after the click to be useful as a signal.
Once that's agreed, every channel gets measured against it, and the reporting stops being a debate. If your industry has rules we need to work inside, tell us up front. We'd rather scope around them than discover them after a campaign has been running for a month.
What we'd count, for example
Not a form fill, a signup or a page view.
