Digital Marketing Recruitment Agency Doubles Inbound Leads and Quality with Targeted SEO + PPC
Client Background and Challenges
This client is a specialized staffing firm focused on placing top talent within the digital marketing and tech space. Despite strong expertise and reputation, their inbound marketing performance had plateaued.
For years, the team’s annual goal was 100 total inbound leads (including web forms, phone calls, and emails)—but they consistently fell short, averaging only 50–60 leads per year. The challenge was not just volume, but quality—many leads were unqualified or failed to convert.
