Case Study Overview
Transforming a SaaS Website into a $427,000 Sales Pipeline
For a leading B2B SaaS provider with a blue-chip client list, their own website was generating more spam than sales, creating a significant operational drain. Through a strategic overhaul of their marketing automation, paid search, and SEO, we transformed their underperforming digital presence into a predictable engine for high-value leads.

The Challenge
When a Website Creates More Work Than Leads
The client, a premier provider of licensed e-learning for global enterprises like Pfizer and PepsiCo, faced a critical business paradox. While their product was best-in-class and referrals were strong, their primary digital asset—their website—was failing as a sales tool. Instead of generating valuable opportunities, the site attracted high volumes of spam and unqualified traffic.
This forced their internal team to spend countless hours sifting through junk leads, creating a significant operational drain. The website was not just underperforming; it was actively harming productivity. The challenge was clear: transform the website and its supporting workflows from a source of noise into a predictable, automated engine for generating high-quality, sales-ready leads.
The Big Idea
Turn the Website into an Automated Sales Development Rep
Our guiding philosophy was to transform the client’s digital presence from a passive online brochure into an active, intelligent member of their sales team. By integrating precise advertising with sophisticated automation, we built a system that could attract the right prospects, ask the right questions, qualify their intent, and deliver validated, high-value opportunities directly to the sales pipeline, 24/7.
The Results
A Predictable Pipeline of High-Value Opportunities
By aligning the client’s digital marketing with their sales process, we delivered a clear, quantifiable impact on their pipeline within just six months.
The website generated 948 Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs), with an impressive 67% of them converting to 635 Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs), verified by the sales team.
Site-Seeker’s direct efforts in SEO and PPC were responsible for 51% of all leads, delivering 493 MQLs and 331 SQLs.
Most importantly, this activity translated directly into revenue potential. An analysis of Salesforce data revealed a total sales pipeline of $838,000, with an impressive $427,000 of that potential revenue generated directly from our SEO and PPC efforts.

Our Insights & Strategy
Engineering a Lead Qualification Machine
Site-Seeker implemented a comprehensive strategy to overhaul the client’s entire digital lead generation ecosystem, focusing on quality over quantity and creating a direct, measurable path from click to sales opportunity.
Align Marketing Actions with Sales Goals
The core insight was that “lead” was a meaningless term without a shared definition between Marketing and Sales. Our strategy was to first establish clear criteria for Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) and Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) and then build the entire digital system backwards from those definitions.
From Broad Net to Laser Beam
The existing PPC strategy was a wide net catching very few valuable fish. We planned to radically pivot the Google Ads program from a volume-based approach to a precision-based one, focusing exclusively on the keywords, geographies, and user profiles of high-value corporate decision-makers.
Automation as a Qualifier
We recognized that HubSpot could be used as more than just an email tool; it could also serve as an intelligent gatekeeper. The strategy was to build automated workflows that would not only nurture leads but also actively segment and qualify them, ensuring the sales team only received opportunities that were genuinely worth their time.
Execution
A Multi-Faceted Approach
Site-Seeker executed a multi-faceted digital transformation focused on process, precision, and performance:
Marketing Automation & Workflow Architecture (HubSpot)
We completely re-engineered the client’s lead management process. We created new, intelligent forms with strategic segmenting questions and built out a sophisticated series of automated email workflows. These workflows nurtured inbound leads, sorted them based on their responses, and ensured only the most qualified inquiries were passed to the sales team.
High-Precision Google Ads Management
We performed a surgical overhaul of the pay-per-click program. We dramatically cut a bloated keyword list of hundreds down to a few dozen of the absolute best-performing, highest-intent terms. This was combined with refined geographic and demographic targeting to eliminate wasted ad spend and radically improve lead quality.
Large-Scale SEO for Topical Authority
To capture long-term organic demand, we executed a massive SEO initiative. This included the technical and content optimization of the entire website, most notably the 3,000+ individual course pages. This established the client as the definitive authority in their niche, attracting highly specific organic searches from professionals seeking their exact training solutions.
This successful sales pipeline was achieved by fundamentally shifting the client’s strategy from chasing volume to focusing on engineering quality, proving that a truly effective digital marketing program isn’t about getting the most leads—it’s about generating the right ones. For sophisticated B2B companies, this case illustrates how integrating intelligent automation with precision advertising and authoritative SEO can create a scalable, predictable, and highly profitable revenue stream.
