Rocketseed: All-Time Google Ads Lead Record in 3 Months

Rocketseed's previous freelancer had drifted the account into a spam-optimisation loop - the bid algorithm was learning from form fills the sales team wouldn't action. We reset conversion tracking upstream with offline conversion uploads from the CRM, then rebuilt campaign architecture and audience layering around qualified-lead value.

Overview

Why B2B Google Ads Is Different

B2B sales cycles are longer, involve multiple decision-makers, and demand higher CPCs - but the lifetime value of a single customer can dwarf B2C. The problem? Most PPC agencies optimise for MQLs and form fills, not the revenue that actually matters.

Wasting budget on junk leads? Agency doesn't understand your sales cycle? No visibility on which clicks become customers? These are the pain points B2B marketers face daily with generalist PPC agencies.

Offline conversion tracking is critical. Without connecting Google Ads to your CRM, you're optimising blind - rewarding campaigns that generate volume, not value.

We bridge the gap between clicks and closed deals, ensuring every pound of ad spend is accountable to pipeline revenue.

Stop optimising for form fills. Start optimising for pipeline revenue.

As a certified Google Partner, our team has direct access to Google support, beta features, and advanced training - giving your campaigns a competitive edge from day one.

Definition

What Is B2B PPC?

B2B PPC (pay-per-click) is paid advertising targeted at business buyers rather than consumers. The key differences from B2C: longer sales cycles (30-180+ days), higher deal values (£5K-£500K+), multiple decision-makers in the buying committee, and the need to track from ad click through to closed deal via CRM integration.

Standard PPC agencies optimise for conversion rate and ROAS (return on ad spend). A consumer eCommerce agency might aim for 5% conversion rate and 300% ROAS. That works for B2C because the customer journey is short: click ad → land on site → buy product → order complete.

B2B is fundamentally different. A manufacturing buyer doesn't click your ad and purchase a £50K machine the same day. Instead:

  1. Click your ad (cost per click: £3-15 depending on keyword competitiveness)
  2. Land on your site (75%+ bounce if messaging doesn't match intent)
  3. Download a resource or request a demo (this is a "lead")
  4. Enter your sales funnel (your team follows up via email, phone, LinkedIn)
  5. Sales qualification call (salesperson determines if they're a real prospect)
  6. Proposal stage (deal sits in limbo for 60-90 days)
  7. Contract negotiation (price, terms, delivery)
  8. Closed deal (finally - 120+ days after the initial click)

B2B PPC agencies optimise for pipeline and revenue, not just leads. We track the full journey, measure cost per qualified lead (SQL), and attribute revenue back to the ad campaigns that generated it. That's why CRM integration, pipeline reporting, and deal tracking are non-negotiable in B2B PPC.

Pricing

How Much Does B2B PPC Management Cost?

Visionary B2B PPC management starts at £850/mo, or 10% of ad spend - whichever suits your account. For proven B2B companies with strong attribution and a track record, we're also happy to work on performance-based or hybrid terms. You work directly with Chris - a top proven expert with 15+ years' experience - never handed off to a junior.

  • Management fee (what you pay Visionary): from £850/mo, or 10% of ad spend - campaign strategy, keyword research, audience targeting, ad creative, bid management, CRM integration, and reporting
  • Ad spend (what you spend on Google, LinkedIn, etc.): £3,000-£50,000/mo depending on industry competitiveness, geographic scope, and keyword commercial value
  • Total monthly cost: Management fee + ad spend, sized to your pipeline goals

The right question isn't "What does it cost?" but "What pipeline does it generate?" If £850-£2,000/mo management + £5K/mo ad spend generates £50K/mo pipeline (10 qualified leads × £5K average deal), your customer acquisition cost via PPC is £585-£700 per qualified lead. If your sales conversion rate is 20% (2 closed deals per 10 leads), your cost per closed deal is under £3,500 - trivial if your average deal value is £50K+.

Many B2B companies spend too little on PPC because they're optimising for cost per click instead of cost per deal. Underfunding PPC means missing pipeline opportunities.

Comparison

B2B PPC vs B2C PPC: Why the Approach Is Completely Different

These two models require opposite strategies:

B2C PPC

  • -High volume, low value per customer (avg £20-200)
  • -Quick purchase decision (minutes to hours)
  • -Single decision-maker
  • -Optimise for ROAS (return on ad spend)
  • -Success metric: Conversion rate (3-5%)
  • -CRM integration: Optional

B2B PPC

  • Low volume, high value per deal (avg £5K-£500K)
  • Long purchase decision (weeks to months)
  • Multiple decision-makers (procurement, dept manager, CFO)
  • Optimise for cost per qualified lead & pipeline revenue
  • Success metric: Cost per SQL & pipeline generated
  • CRM integration: Essential

Keyword strategy differs fundamentally - B2C targets broad commercial keywords like "buy black coffee" while B2B targets decision-maker intent keywords like "enterprise project management software comparison" or "managed security services for fintech".

Landing pages differ too: B2C sends traffic to product pages with checkout carts ready; B2B uses qualifying forms, resource downloads, or demo requests for lead capture rather than immediate sale.

Attribution is the critical gap. B2C eCommerce platforms show which ad led to which purchase directly. B2B requires CRM integration to track which ad led to which qualified lead, and which qualified leads became closed deals.

An agency that runs B2B like B2C will waste your budget. They'll target broad keywords, optimise for conversion rate on lead forms, and lose visibility of pipeline. Specialised B2B PPC agencies understand the sales cycle and track revenue, not just clicks.

"Chris is a real master of SEO and PPC. I'll never forget the time he discovered what could have been a catastrophic SEO issue, prior to a new big website launch that would have cost the business £100,000s (that every other so-called SEO expert we'd engaged had missed)."

FAQ

Common Questions

B2B PPC involves longer sales cycles, multiple decision-makers, and higher CPCs. Success is measured by pipeline revenue and cost per SQL, not just leads or clicks. We optimise for downstream conversions using CRM data.

Most B2B campaigns require a minimum of £3,000-5,000/month to generate meaningful data. However, the higher lifetime value of B2B customers means ROAS is often significantly better than B2C despite higher CPCs.

We integrate Google Ads with your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) to feed back conversion data. This allows Google's algorithms to optimise for actual revenue outcomes, not just form submissions.

Initial optimisations show impact within 4-6 weeks. Full pipeline impact typically takes 3-6 months depending on your sales cycle length, as we need enough data to optimise for downstream conversions.

Yes. We integrate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and custom CRMs. If your CRM can export data, we can connect it to your Google Ads for offline conversion tracking.

Architecture

B2B Buyer-Stage Campaign Architecture

B2B buyers don't convert on the first click. We architect Google Ads accounts around buyer stages - not generic Search/Display/Shopping splits - so every keyword has the right intent assigned.

StageSearch typeVisionary's campaign treatment
Awareness"what is X", "how to Y"YouTube + Demand Gen + sometimes Discovery - top-of-funnel cap, not bottom-funnel ROAS
Consideration"best X for Y", "alternative to Z"Search + Demand Gen with whitepaper / comparison gates
Evaluation"X vs Y", "X reviews", "X pricing"Search with custom audiences from your CRM, bottom-funnel ROAS targets

Channel Choice

PPC vs LinkedIn Ads vs Outbound - Where Google Ads Wins

Google Ads isn't always the right channel for B2B. Here's how we decide where Google Ads belongs in the channel mix - and where LinkedIn or outbound takes over.

Reverse Qualification

When We're a Good Fit for B2B PPC (And When We're Not)

Strong fit

  • B2B SaaS, B2B services, professional services, fintech, insurtech, regtech - sales-led conversion
  • Average deal value ≥ £5K - Google Ads economics work above this band
  • Functioning CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) with offline conversion data
  • Sales team can distinguish qualified from unqualified leads
  • 90-day investment view - B2B Google Ads optimisation cycles run quarterly

Probably not the right fit

  • Pre-revenue / pre-product-market-fit
  • Average deal value < £2K with long sales cycles - channel economics don't work
  • No CRM / no lead-qualification process - bid algorithm has nothing to learn from
  • Looking for cost-per-form-fill < £20 - that's spam-territory in B2B
  • "We just want more leads" without a definition of qualified
