SaaS Company Achieves 520% ROI with Integrated Marketing Strategy

The Challenge

CloudTech Solutions had a solid product but struggled with customer acquisition:

• Zero organic visibility: Ranking on page 4-6 for target keywords, receiving only 230 monthly organic visits
• Ineffective PPC campaigns: Spending $8,500/month on Google Ads with a 120% cost-per-acquisition, losing money on every customer

• Wrong audience targeting: Attracting tire-kickers instead of decision-makers
