Paid acquisition for professional services

Professional services buy the opposite of what ad platforms are built to optimize for. Few conversions, high value each, months between the click and a signed engagement. Optimizing toward lead volume in that environment reliably buys the wrong leads, at speed.

What usually breaks

Before anything gets built.

The same failures recur across professional services. Strygon maps the specific system before proposing anything, but these are the ones worth checking for.

Manual follow-up

Follow-up depends on a person remembering, so warm leads cool while everyone is heads-down on delivery.

Tool sprawl

Five tools that don’t talk, each holding a piece of the truth, none of them the whole picture.

Onboarding drag

Every new client kicks off a manual checklist that eats a day of senior time that should bill.

The approach

What Strygon does about it.

Acquisition, aimed at those failures specifically rather than at a generic checklist.

Optimize to signed, not submitted

Conversion values are sent back so the platform learns from engagements rather than inquiry forms.

Attribution that survives the cycle

Tracking still connects a signed matter to the click that started it, months later.

03
Part of the scoped build

Qualify before the call

Landing pages that filter, because a partner’s calendar is the scarce resource in this business.

Start

Start with what’s broken.

Send the situation in a paragraph. Strygon comes back with a read on what’s likely wrong and what it would take to fix, before anyone talks about price.

Most builds start withleads dying in an inbox., three half-finished pipelines., follow-up nobody owns., numbers that never agree., four vendors blaming each other.

What to send
A paragraph. What broke, and where it shows up.
