Scaling from £9k to £20k MRR — without increasing ad spend.
Tasklo, a project management SaaS for remote-first startups, had decent traffic but a 0.8% trial conversion rate. Paid spend was profitable but plateauing — and scaling budget alone wasn't moving the needle. They needed compounding growth, not more ad spend.
A structured programme starting with measurement, followed by acquisition, then conversion optimisation.
We conducted a full GA4 audit and discovered significant tracking gaps — conversion events were firing incorrectly, CRM data wasn't flowing to ad platforms, and attribution models were crediting the wrong channels. We rebuilt the entire tracking stack from the data layer up.
FoundationWith clean data in place, we mapped every trial, upgrade, and churn event to its acquisition source for the first time. LinkedIn was responsible for 61% of closed revenue but receiving only 22% of budget — an immediate reallocation opportunity.
InsightWe restructured Google Ads and LinkedIn campaigns around high-intent keywords and lookalike audiences built from actual closed customers — not just trial sign-ups. Budget was reallocated to match the attribution evidence.
ExecutionWe built a keyword cluster strategy targeting bottom-of-funnel terms with clear buyer intent. Content was mapped to specific buyer pain points, not generic category terms.
OrganicWe identified that 72% of trials abandoned within 3 days due to a confusing onboarding flow. We redesigned the trial-to-activation sequence and ran A/B tests on the trial sign-up page, lifting conversion from 0.8% to 2.3%.
