Question 1

Is Our CAC Actually Killing Our Runway? (And Can You Really Fix It?)

Accepted Answer

Yes, it probably is-and yes, we can fix it. Most SaaS founders watch helplessly as their CAC climbs from $200 to $400 to $600 while conversion rates stay flat. We focus on three levers that compound: (1) Improving conversion rates at every funnel stage-even a 10% lift across 5 steps = 61% more customers from the same traffic; (2) Building organic channels (SEO, competitor comparison pages) that deliver customers at near-zero marginal cost; (3) Ruthlessly optimizing paid channels through better targeting, creative testing, and landing page optimization. Real example: Cincinnati project management SaaS reduced CAC from $340 to $127 in 6 months while increasing trial sign-ups by 312%. Your runway just got longer.

Question 2

Can You Actually Launch Us Successfully (Not Just "Launch Day Buzz")?

Accepted Answer

We don't do vanity launches-we build momentum engines. Most agencies get you a few upvotes on Product Hunt and call it a win. We build: pre-launch strategy with waitlist growth (1,000+ subscribers before launch), launch execution across Product Hunt + social + PR + email, and most importantly, post-launch momentum (retargeting expiring trials, content marketing to capture comparison searches, influencer partnerships that continue 60+ days post-launch). Real example: Northern Kentucky HR tech startup hit #2 on Product Hunt and delivered 4,200 trial sign-ups in 72 hours, with 18% converting to paid within 30 days. That's $73K MRR from a single launch when done right.

Question 3

Do You Actually Understand B2B SaaS Sales Cycles?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. B2B SaaS is one of our core specialties. We understand what most agencies don't: longer sales cycles (45-90 days vs. 7 days for B2C), multiple decision-makers (technical buyer + economic buyer + end users), demo-driven conversions (your homepage job is to book demos, not sell the product), and the critical importance of trial activation (12% vs. 27% trial-to-paid conversion = double your MRR from same traffic). We've worked with SaaS companies across project management, HR tech, fintech, martech, and more. Real example: Columbus analytics platform improved trial-to-paid from 12% to 27% in 90 days by fixing onboarding flow-adding $156K ARR from the same traffic volume.

Question 4

Will "Content Marketing" Actually Drive Revenue (Or Just Vanity Traffic)?)

Accepted Answer

We don't do vanity traffic-we do revenue-driving content. Most agencies start with top-of-funnel blog posts about industry trends. We start with bottom-of-funnel content that captures people actively evaluating solutions: comparison pages ("[Competitor] vs. [Competitor]"), use case pages ("[Your Solution] for [Industry]"), and solution pages ("[Problem] software"). These convert at 8-12% vs. 0.5-1.5% for blog posts. Real example: Cincinnati project management SaaS built 47 comparison pages dominating "vs. Competitor" searches-adding $73K in MRR from organic search alone. That's not traffic, that's revenue.

Question 5

Can You Actually Set Up Automation That Works (Not Just "Drip Campaigns")?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we go way beyond generic drip campaigns. Most SaaS companies send the same 5-email sequence to everyone. We build behavioral trigger automation: if user activates Feature X, send case study about Feature X; if trial expires without conversion, send win-back campaign; if user reaches power-user threshold, trigger expansion revenue campaign. We work with HubSpot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, Customer.io, and more to build sophisticated lead scoring, segmentation, and personalized messaging. Real example: Dayton scheduling software recovered $94K in expiring trials with 14-day nurture sequence + win-back campaign, increasing trial-to-paid by 43% while reducing sales cycle from 21 days to 12 days.

Question 6

Will SEO Actually Work For Us (Or Is It Just For "Best CRM Software" Posts)?

Accepted Answer

SEO works incredibly well for SaaS-if you target the right keywords. Most agencies chase high-volume, low-intent terms like "project management tips" that drive traffic but zero trials. We prioritize commercial intent keywords: "[Problem] software" (searchers have the problem), "best [tool] for [use case]" (actively evaluating), and "[Competitor] alternatives" (dissatisfied with current solution). These convert at 10x the rate of blog traffic. Real example: Cincinnati project management SaaS dominated "vs. Competitor" searches with 47 comparison pages-reducing CAC from $340 to $127 while increasing trial sign-ups by 312%. That's scalable, compounding growth.

Question 7

What Should We Actually Budget For Marketing (Without Burning Our Runway)?

Accepted Answer

Here's the truth: early-stage SaaS (pre-PMF or early growth) should invest 30-50% of revenue in marketing to achieve rapid growth-scary, but necessary. Growth-stage companies typically spend 20-30%. Public SaaS companies average 35-40% of revenue on sales & marketing combined. But here's the critical part: ensure your CAC payback period is under 12 months and your LTV:CAC ratio is at least 3:1. If you're spending $50K/month on marketing and it takes 18 months to recover CAC, you're burning runway for nothing. Real example: Mason communications platform went from $12K to $89K MRR in 12 months spending 35% of revenue on marketing-but their CAC payback was 7 months and LTV:CAC was 4.2:1. That's sustainable, scalable growth that compounds.
