Workflow Automation SaaS
The Challenge
The Situation
Google Ads generating clicks. Zero pipeline.
This workflow automation company was running Google search ads with decent CTRs but terrible conversion rates. Traffic landed on their homepage (not a dedicated landing page). 78% bounce rate.

What Was Broken
Generic homepage as landing destination (78% bounce rate)
No retargeting, no follow-up sequences
Trial users had zero automated touchpoints
No UTM tracking or CRM integration
The Solution
Week 1: Analyzed account. Found good keywords but terrible landing experience. No retargeting pixel, no CRM integration.
Week 2-3: Built dedicated landing pages for top 3 use cases. Set up retargeting and proper tracking. Created 5-email onboarding sequence for trial users.
Week 4-10: A/B tested landing page headlines (15% lift). Added chatbot for instant demo booking. Built nurture sequence for pricing page visitors.
