Spend was flowing. Clarity was not.

Tri-County Water Specialists was putting $1,800 a month into paid search and getting clicks for it. What the team could not get was a straight answer about which of those clicks were real buyers.

Every inbound lead landed in the same shared inbox. No owner, no stages, no follow-up structure. Real prospects sat next to junk form fills, and sorting them meant someone scrolling. When leadership asked what marketing actually closed last month, nobody had a number they could defend.

Knowing where the budget goes with expert trust.

Four moves that connected budget to revenue

The first move was structural. We split high-ticket and low-ticket intent into separate campaigns so the budget stopped competing with itself, then added call extensions and conversion tracking on every entry point so no lead source went dark.

Next we killed the spam problem. Tagging and filtering rules now flag junk automatically, and more than a quarter of all inbound volume is filtered out before it ever reaches a rep.

Underneath that sits a real pipeline: six stages from new lead to closed won, an owner on every record, and follow-up tracked. Attribution runs from keyword to landing page to opportunity to sale.

In their words

"For the first time, they can open one screen and see exactly where every lead came from and what it turned into. They stopped guessing about their marketing, and we helped them dominate it"

From spending to strategy, Matyx specializes in expert growth in marketing.

One clean funnel, from click to closed

Thirty days on the rebuilt system, on the same $1,800 monthly budget.

  • 141 total new opportunities in 30 days
  • 105 qualified leads after spam filtering
  • 52 sales appointments booked from that qualified pool
  • 20 deals closed won, worth $21,289 in revenue inside a single month
  • Return on ad spend rose to 7.63x from 7.27x
  • Conversion rate climbed from 23.0% to 27.3%

We spent less and got more

Ad spend actually went down 2.4% over the period while cost per lead held flat at $36.88 and average closed deal value landed at $1,064. The low-ticket campaign returned 14.70x on ad spend, up 24% over the prior month, because it was no longer bidding against its own high-ticket twin.

"We are not spending more money. We are finally spending it in the places that actually turn into installs."
