Is Holini the right PPC partner for you?

We are a good fit if your company:

Is an ambitious and growing B2B tech company.

Invests $10k+ per month in PPC ads or gets there soon.

Has an in-house marketing lead or a growth team.

Has a primary focus on English-speaking markets.

Expects proactive, accountable, and open collaboration.

We are not a good fit if your company:

Is an early-stage firm still validating product-market fit.

Operates in B2C, e-commerce, crypto, or gambling sectors.

Requires a government-style procurement process.

Has no prior experience with PPC ads.

Chooses partners by the lowest fee, not expected ROI.

Discover our PPC management process

Our first step is to align on the fundamentals: your business goals, how we measure success, who your ideal customers are, and the operational plan we’ll work within.

Clarify business goals & pipeline targets: we start by clarifying your most critical metrics: qualified pipeline goals, ARR targets, and target customer acquisition cost (CAC) needed to scale efficiently.

Focus on the KPIs that matter: We measure PPC performance using a strategic mix of leading and lagging indicators. Leading indicators (like qualified leads) provide early signals on what’s working. Lagging indicators (like closed-won revenue) then confirm the ultimate business impact. We track this full-funnel journey in your CRM or data warehouse, including: qualified leads, sales-accepted leads, qualified pipeline generated, and eventual closed-won revenue.

Clarify your ideal customer profile (ICP) & buyer personas: We work with you to map your ideal customer segments and buyer personas. This process is essential for creating ad and landing page copy that resonates with your target ICP, and for establishing exclusion criteria to focus your budget only on high-potential prospects.

Map out your operational details: we work together to define your budgets, geographical focus, and communication plan, while also understanding your sales cycle and team capacity.

We design a full-funnel B2B PPC strategy that captures high-intent buyers today while building your brand to create a pipeline of future customers.

Map the B2B buying journey: we map the key touchpoints along your buyer’s path to purchase, from their first interaction with an ad to the final conversion. This allows us to engage them with the right message at the right time.

Translate your competitive advantage into ad strategy: we analyse your unique value proposition against the competitive landscape to ensure your messaging stands out and resonates with your ideal buyers.

Develop high-resonance messaging & offers: we craft messaging that not only addresses your buyers’ urgent pain points and motivations, but also educates them and builds trust at every stage of their journey.

Build a conversion-focused landing page experience: where needed, we design data-backed landing page wireframes with clear ad-to-page message match, strong trust signals, and a focus on converting more visitors into qualified leads.

Allocate budget with a tiered channel strategy: we begin by reviewing your current budget allocation to understand your existing strategy. We then work with you to allocate your budget across a balanced portfolio of core, scale, and experimental channels to ensure sustainable growth. The specific platforms chosen for each category, such as Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or Microsoft Ads, are based on your unique business strategy.

Structure a scalable campaign architecture: we structure your campaigns for clarity, control, and performance, building a foundation that can scale efficiently as you grow.

We connect your PPC platform data with your CRM’s pipeline data. This creates a trustworthy, full-funnel dashboard where you can see what’s truly driving growth.

Review your current tracking setup: we begin by assessing your current tracking setup to identify critical data quality issues or measurement gaps, as these directly impact campaign performance, since ad platform algorithms rely on accurate data to deliver expected results.

Conduct a deep data integrity audit & create a measurement plan: If we uncover significant tracking issues or data gaps, we recommend a deep tracking audit and a comprehensive measurement plan to build a reliable data foundation. (This is offered as a separate analytics management service.)

Implement full-funnel measurement: we technically implement the required tracking based on the defined measurement plan, allowing you to measure performance across the entire journey: Lead → Qualified Lead → Sales Opportunity → Closed Revenue. (This is also offered as a separate analytics management service.)

Connect ad spend directly to pipeline & revenue: we connect each ad click to its outcome in your CRM or database, showing you exactly how PPC spend translates into qualified pipeline and closed-won deals.

Build a unified PPC performance dashboard: we build centralised dashboards in Looker Studio, Tableau, or Power BI that unifies data from all your platforms, giving you one clear, reliable view of performance.

We fill the top of your funnel by running ads that don’t just grab attention, but instead educate, build memory links, and earn the trust of your target customers.

Identify your ideal prospect’s category-entry points (CEPs): In B2B, being known isn’t enough. The goal is to be known for solving a specific problem. We start by identifying your Category-Entry Points (CEPs), which are the specific situations that trigger a buyer to look for a solution in your category.

Create dedicated ads for each situation & trigger: once CEPs are identified, we create ad campaigns designed to build a strong mental link between these triggers and your brand. These aren’t generic ads. They are targeted messages and visuals we create to be highly relevant to your ICP. These are then combined with your existing guides, reports, or other materials to speak directly to a buyer’s specific situation, making your brand memorable and helpful.

Build credibility with social proof: to increase the impact of your campaigns, we layer in powerful social proof. We turn your case studies, reviews, and customer testimonials into compelling ads that build trust and validate your claims.

Find and scale your most effective ad creatives: For each campaign, we systematically test ad creatives to discover which hooks, visuals, and messages best capture audience attention and build that crucial mental association with your brand.

We turn buyers showing active buying intent into a predictable pipeline. This process focuses on capturing high-intent signals and improving your ROAS by engaging prospects who are in the consideration and decision phase.

Target high-intent searches and audiences: we target potential buyers actively searching for a solution on Google or Bing and leverage precise firmographic and intent data on platforms like LinkedIn. This ensures we engage prospects who are demonstrating the highest level of buying intent right now.

Align ad copy & offers with buyer intent: we ensure your ad copy speaks directly to the solution the buyer is searching for. We use compelling, bottom-of-funnel offers like demo invitations, ROI calculators, or specific case studies to turn their immediate interest into action.

Optimise landing pages to increase conversion rate: we ensure your landing pages have a clear ad-to-page message match and are optimised for a single goal: turning high-intent visitors into qualified leads. This involves removing friction, clarifying value, and building trust at the moment of decision.

Re-engage prospects with strategic remarketing: for high-intent visitors who leave your site without converting, we run strategic remarketing campaigns to bring them back. We target them based on specific engagement signals, like visiting a pricing page or watching a product demo, and run these campaigns across different PPC platforms to encourage them to take the next step.

Eliminate inefficient ad spend: we protect your budget and improve ROAS by implementing effective controls. This includes managing negative keywords, creating audience exclusions based on your negative ICP, and using smart bidding strategies that are focused on generating qualified pipeline and closed-won deals, not just clicks.

We believe in a continuous cycle of execution, learning, and strategic collaboration to ensure your growth accelerates over time. Our partnership is built on a foundation of transparency and proactive communication, with a shared focus on continuous experimentation to find new growth opportunities.

Transparent, real-time reporting: you have 24/7 access to live performance dashboards, so you always have a clear, complete, and transparent view of the metrics that matter.

Regular tactical & strategy syncs: we establish a regular meeting rhythm, typically weekly or bi-weekly, to review performance against KPIs, share insights from the data, and collaboratively set priorities for the next steps.

Quarterly business reviews (QBRs): Every quarter, we zoom out to analyse the big-picture performance against your business goals, discuss strategic shifts in the market, and build the high-level playbook for the next 90 days.

Proactive knowledge transfer: we do more than just execute. We actively share the “how” and “why” behind our work, strengthening your in-house team’s expertise and ensuring our partnership provides long-term value.

Our typical onboarding process

The first call is a straightforward conversation to see if we’re the right fit to help, not a formal sales presentation. You’ll meet directly with one of our senior growth strategists who understands the challenges of growing a B2B tech company.

Here’s what to expect on our call:

  • We’ll discuss your current situation and core business objectives: pipeline targets, target CAC, and key revenue goals.
  • Next, we’ll walk you through our approach and answer your questions about how we work.
  • Finally, we’ll decide together if it makes sense to proceed to the next step: a deeper analysis of your PPC accounts to find growth opportunities.

The entire purpose is to quickly establish if we’re the right fit to help you grow, respecting your time and focusing only on what matters.

After an optional NDA, you’ll grant us read-only access to your key platforms (like Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads and GA4). Our senior strategist conducts a deep-dive audit to:

  • Identify quick-win growth gaps and opportunities to lower your CAC.
  • Analyse your current targeting, messaging, and bidding strategies.
  • Review if and how your pipeline and CRM data is used in your PPC campaigns.

This process is designed to give you immediate value by answering one core question:

What is the pipeline growth potential in your PPC accounts?

We schedule a meeting where we present our PPC audit findings and discuss our strategic recommendations together. We also answer all of your questions.

If our audit shows we can make a significant impact on your results, we will deliver a proposal designed for you to share with your leadership team. It will clearly outline:

  • A detailed action plan with our services.
  • A clear scope of work and timeline.
  • An estimated timeline for execution.
  • Simple, transparent pricing based on your goals.

If we determine we’re not the right partner to hit your goals, we’ll be upfront and tell you why.

The kickoff phase ensures we get started smoothly and effectively. We set up our shared communication channel (e.g., Slack) for daily communication and schedule the kickoff call with all key stakeholders.

Our goal is to establish clear alignment from day one. Our agenda for the call is to:

  • Finalise our action plan, confirming key objectives, KPIs and milestones.
  • Fully understand your ICPs, buyer personas, positioning, sales process and possible limitations.
  • Establish our communication rhythm, including weekly syncs and the format for performance reporting.
  • Coordinate all necessary access to ad platforms, analytics, and other tools for a smooth start.

Our analytics developers begin with a granular audit of your data platforms (GA4, GTM, CRM, etc.) to identify critical data quality problems. We work alongside your team to resolve these clear issues first.

With a reliable foundation in place, we deliver a comprehensive measurement plan and help you implement it. This ensures data flows correctly between your platforms, which is crucial for solving attribution problems and creating reliable, full-funnel reporting.

We begin executing the highest-impact actions from our plan. Our initial focus is on delivering quick, measurable wins while simultaneously building the framework for sustainable, long-term growth.

Our ongoing collaboration is built on a dedicated rhythm. In our weekly strategy syncs, we review performance against agreed-upon KPIs, share insights, and collaboratively set priorities for the week ahead.

Our partnership model is built on three core principles: transparent communication, a proactive approach, and continuous improvement. Here’s how we put these into practice:

  • Weekly or bi-weekly syncs: we continue our regular tactical meetings to review recent performance, adapt to market changes, and plan immediate next steps.
  • Live performance dashboards: you have 24/7 access to shared dashboards for full transparency into the metrics that matter.
  • Quarterly business reviews (QBRs): every quarter, we zoom out to analyse the big-picture performance and collaboratively build the strategic playbook for the next 90 days.
  • Continuous knowledge transfer: we do more than just execute. We actively share our knowledge and experience with your team, showing them the “how” and “why” behind our work, strengthening your in-house team’s expertise.

I wholeheartedly recommend Holini to all B2B SaaS companies in data-scarce markets. Together, we achieved the highest MQL numbers in Google Ads history and a significant increase in their quality.

The weekly syncs were some of the best in my career. They included detailed insights, all backed up by data. An easy-going communication style, proactive support, quick replies, and data-driven decisions stood out.”

Frequently asked questions

One of our senior specialists will be directly managing your PPC accounts and leading the strategy. This person will be your primary point of contact, responsible for both high-level planning and day-to-day execution.

This is a core part of our promise: you will not be handed off to a junior account manager.

While one of our senior specialists leads the project, they are frequently supported by our wider team, including our PPC team lead, analytics developer, and designer, to ensure you receive the full benefit of our integrated expertise.

While achieving predictable, long-term results takes time, our process is designed to create an impact from the start.

During the initial PPC accounts audit, we identify quick-win growth gaps and opportunities to lower your CAC that can often be implemented in the first few weeks. You can expect to see meaningful improvements in your lead quality and campaign performance within the first 90 days as we execute our initial growth plan.

Our pricing is based on different models, depending on the service and your goals:

For our core PPC partnership: our agency fee typically aligns with your monthly PPC budget under management. This fee is inclusive, covering ongoing PPC strategy, campaign management, basic PPC tracking maintenance and performance dashboards, and our landing page optimisation service at no extra charge. If a partnership requires exceptionally more resources, any adjustments are agreed upon with you upfront.

For technical analytics projects: pricing for standalone analytics work is based on the project’s scope and the estimated hours required. All project costs and hours are detailed and agreed upon with you before any work begins.

You will receive a final, detailed proposal after our complimentary PPC accounts audit. This ensures total clarity and no hidden fees.

We don’t require long-term contracts. Our philosophy is simple: we want you to stay with us because of our results, not because of a contractual lock-in.

Instead, we start with an initial 3-month engagement. This period is designed to prove our value, deliver initial results, and build a strong, collaborative relationship. It gives us enough time to implement our foundational strategies and demonstrate a measurable impact on your pipeline.

After this initial period, our partnership continues on a flexible, month-to-month basis. Our goal is to earn your trust and build a long-term partnership by consistently delivering outstanding results.

The process from our initial discovery call to delivering your complimentary PPC audit and growth proposal typically takes about one week, depending on mutual availability.

From there, our ability to start depends on our current availability. Our primary focus is on delivering on our existing partners’ expectations. This approach allows our senior specialists the dedicated time for both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. It’s why we only accept 3-4 new partnerships each quarter.

Because we are committed to this high standard, we recommend reaching out soon to discuss your timeline, your expectations, and our current availability.

The first step is a discovery call with one of our senior growth strategists to discuss your goals. On the call, we’ll answer your questions and determine if we’re a mutual fit.

If it’s a good fit, the following step is our complimentary PPC accounts audit.

Ready to talk? Check our availability and schedule a call with us.
