The Challenge
What Arsenal Analytics Was Facing
A B2B analytics SaaS company in Huntsville's Cummings Research Park was burning through $12K/month on Google Ads with a $340 customer acquisition cost , unsustainable for their unit economics. They needed to cut CAC while scaling demo requests.
- ✕ $340 customer acquisition cost , target was under $150
- ✕ Broad match keywords wasting 40% of ad spend on irrelevant clicks
- ✕ No conversion tracking beyond form submissions (missing call tracking)
- ✕ Landing pages had a 1.2% conversion rate (industry avg: 3.5%)
- ✕ Zero email nurturing , lost leads never re-engaged
Our Solution
How We Fixed It
We rebuilt their entire paid acquisition funnel: restructured campaigns, optimized landing pages, implemented proper tracking, and built email sequences to nurture leads that weren't ready to buy.
- ✓ Restructured Google Ads into tightly themed ad groups with exact/phrase match
- ✓ Created dedicated landing pages for each product vertical with A/B testing
- ✓ Implemented full-funnel conversion tracking: clicks → demos → trials → paid
- ✓ Built 5-email nurture sequence for leads who didn't book a demo immediately
- ✓ Set up automated reporting dashboard with CAC, ROAS, and pipeline metrics
- ✓ Added remarketing campaigns targeting demo page visitors who didn't convert
