The problem
Where the chain was breaking.
As an SEO agency, generating their own leads through paid channels was a challenge they had not yet cracked
Cost per qualified sales call had ballooned to $90, making client acquisition margins increasingly thin
The digital marketing agency space is one of the most competitive advertising verticals on any platform
What we built
The system we put in place.
We targeted local business owners frustrated with their current marketing results using pain-point messaging that resonated immediately. Case study creative showing real client results and ROI separated Chaz from the sea of agencies making empty promises. A free audit offer captured business details and generated qualified sales conversations. We optimized toward cost-per-booked-call rather than cost-per-lead, ensuring the metric that mattered was the one we were driving down.
“As an SEO agency ourselves, we know how hard it is to generate quality leads in the digital marketing space. Dancing Chicken cut our cost per qualified call from $90 to $40, a 55% reduction. The campaigns they built complemented our organic strategy perfectly and gave us a predictable lead channel we could scale on demand. Our revenue grew 3x in the first year.”Russell Thornton
