The Challenge
Every lead had a price tag. Growth stalled the moment ads tightened.
A vertical B2B SaaS startup serving construction firms depended almost entirely on founder-led outbound and Google Ads. Without an organic content engine, every lead carried a cost — and growth stalled the moment ad budgets tightened or the founder ran out of hours.

“Founder-led outbound plus Google Ads — effective but expensive, with no compounding organic asset.”
