A competitive market that demanded faster results

The client needed leads — and they needed them quickly.

Our client is a leading SalesForce Automation Software built exclusively to improve secondary sales effectiveness — enabling sales teams to maximise performance through smart communication tools and real-time tracking across hierarchical responsibilities.

The platform provides advanced features to manage primary, secondary, van, and modern retail sales, serving enterprise clients across India. With a high-value ticket product in a crowded category, visibility and conversion efficiency were not optional — they were existential.

Despite having a strong product, the brand had no conversion-optimised landing page and no active paid search presence. They came to First Launch with one clear directive: generate qualified leads, fast.

02 — Challenge

High competition. High-value keywords. Pressure to deliver fast.

Three compounding pressures that demanded a different approach.

The SalesForce Automation space is intensely competitive. Keywords that potential buyers searched for were high in demand — and high in cost — attracting bids from well-funded enterprise players. Winning on paid search in this environment required precision, not just spend.

The client's existing web presence was not built with conversion in mind. Without a purpose-built landing page, even a well-structured ad campaign would leak leads at the final step. Before any ad was served, the conversion infrastructure had to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Compounding this was urgency. The client could not wait months for organic strategies to compound — they needed qualified pipeline quickly, with a clear return on every rupee spent on advertising.

Problem 1
Cut-throat keyword competition driving up CPCs in the SaaS space
Problem 2
No conversion-optimised landing page to capture incoming paid traffic
Problem 3
Urgency — needed a fast lead pipeline with measurable ROI from day one
03 — Approach

Two pillars. One goal: conversion.

We built the foundation before lighting the campaign — because clicks without conversion infrastructure is money wasted.

01
Landing Page Revamp
Rebuilt the website with a professional, sales-focused design — purposeful headline, clear CTA placement, trust signals, and feature emphasis all engineered to guide every visitor toward one action.
02
Keyword Research & Audience Mapping
Deep research into how enterprise buyers in this category actually search — identifying high-intent keywords and mapping them to the right ad copy and landing page messaging.
03
Campaign Launch & Negative Keyword Hygiene
Launched Google Ads with a tight keyword structure. Ran search query reports continuously to identify and eliminate negative keywords — stopping irrelevant traffic from consuming budget.
04
Feedback Loop & Optimisation
A/B tested multiple ad copies to find what resonated. Used heat maps and analytics to understand user behaviour on the landing page — iterating on both ads and page elements based on real data.

No matter how well you run the campaign, if the landing page is not impressive, you might as well forget about generating leads.
