Each firm’s outcome will depend on its market and execution.
Daaxit
(Fractional CFO Firm – Offer–Market Fit Stage)
Situation: Daaxit is a fractional CFO provider for contractors. The founder had previously hired a marketing agency who burned through the budget with zero results, leaving Daaxit with no inbound leads or growth. The firm needed a new go-to-market strategy to effectively reach its niche (construction businesses) and justify a premium service offering after this false start.
What We Changed:
Productized the Service:
Repositioned the Brand & Messaging:
Built an Inbound Funnel:
Outcomes:
5X Increase in Billable Rate:
Double Gross Revenue:
Regional CPA Firm
(Accounting Services – Revenue Engine Stage)
Situation: This established CPA firm had relied heavily on referrals and an outdated website. Growth had plateaued, and the firm struggled to generate qualified leads online in a competitive professional services market. They engaged Buzzworthy to build a sustainable revenue engine. Over several years, the program expanded the firm’s reach beyond its hometown and steadily increased lead flow, supporting aggressive business growth goals (new offices, M&A).
What We Changed:
Holistic Inbound & Content Strategy:
We revamped the firm’s website with inbound marketing best practices, optimizing for accounting, bookkeeping, and advisory content in their region which improved organic traffic and attracted targeted ICP (business owners searching for CPA services).
Targeted Google Ads Campaigns:
To complement organic growth, we managed ongoing Google Ads campaigns for high-intent search terms. This ensured the firm appeared at the top of search results immediately, capturing leads during peak tax season and beyond.
Conversion Optimization & Analytics:
We improved on-site conversion and streamlined the contact process. Implemented accurate call tracking and monitored every lead source and user behavior. Monthly performance reviews allowed us to adjust the strategy and allocate budget to the best-performing channels, creating a repeatable marketing -operating system- for the firm.
Outcomes:
+200% More Leads:
Within the first 12 months of our engagement, the firm’s website traffic and lead volume of qualified client inquiries increased by roughly 200%. Leadflow was also normalized across the calendar year by utilizing season service targeting.
8× Traffic Growth in 2 Years:
By the end of the second year, web traffic had grown an additional 400% over the previous year (an 8× total increase vs. the start). This massive two-year growth trajectory demonstrated the compounding effect of our organic and paid marketing strategies and firmly established the firm as a top CPA firm in their markets.
Business Expansion Enabled:
The surge in lead generation directly translated into business growth. Over a five-year period, the firm opened two new branch offices and acquire another accounting firm – expansion made possible by the steady pipeline of new clients. The marketing program effectively became a revenue engine powering real organizational scale.
Transportation Staging Firm
(Marketing OS Stage)
What We Changed:
Regional Visibility Boost
We created extensive visibility along the entire eastern coast via organic strategies once we realigned their offer-market-fit to their ICP.
Aggressive Paid Advertising Campaign
In parallel, we launched a targeted advertising campaign to immediately capture visibility and eminent lower funnel opportunities. We concentrated on niche market gaps big players weren’t fully covering and wrote ad copy emphasizing Rented Truck Driver’s unique selling point.
Trust-Building & CRO
To improve website conversion rates, we updated the website with prominent trust building content and an easier-to-use quote request process. Prospective customers who clicked through found clear value propositions and proof of reliability, which helped convert more clicks into calls/bookings. We set up tracking to measure every inquiry, creating a feedback loop for continual refinement.
Outcomes:
Rapid Lead Generation:
Within the first two months of the new campaigns, Rented Truck Driver saw a dramatic spike in online inquiries. The combination of organic and paid tactics delivered “huge returns” in a very short period. In fact, by around the 90-day mark, the website was attracting significantly more traffic and calls than ever before, filling the company’s calendar with booked driving jobs. (This fast turnaround validated the marketing investment and proved even a niche player can outrank bigger competitors with the right approach.)
Increased Search Visibility:
High ROI on Ads Spend:
Because ads were tightly targeted and inbound marketing captured “free” organic clicks, the client enjoyed a very high return on marketing spend. For every dollar invested in Google Ads, Rented Truck Driver earned many times back in new business. Additionally, the cost per lead dropped as organic traffic grew. The marketing OS we implemented continued to pay dividends long after the initial launch, creating a reliable flow of leads at a sustainable cost.
PTAC Program
(Government Procurement Training – Revenue OS Stage)
Client / Sector / Stage: Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) – Government/Nonprofit Program – Revenue OS Stage
Situation: A regional PTAC program (which helps local businesses learn how to secure government contracts) was struggling to engage its current client base. The program’s workshops and services were under-utilized: existing clients were losing interest, and new client outreach had stalled. The Program Manager sought Buzzworthy’s help to reinvigorate their marketing approach. The challenge was to craft training and tactics that would boost engagement among current participants and attract fresh businesses to the program’s events and resources.
What We Changed:
Customized Marketing Workshop
We developed a tailored training program for the PTAC team, focusing on modern marketing strategies to engage their target audience. Over a series of sessions, we coached the staff on identifying distinct client segments and how to address each segment’s needs through targeted messaging and channels.
Audience Segmentation & Engagement Plan
Together with PTAC leadership, we created an actionable engagement plan. This included segmenting their client base and mapping out specific outreach tactics for each. For instance, we introduced the idea of regular email newsletters with success stories for existing clients, and informative webinars for prospects.
Tools and Process Implementation
We helped the PTAC implement a CRM and automation touches to stay connected with clients. This involved setting up their existing email platform to send automated follow-ups after events, and providing templates for social media updates highlighting upcoming training sessions. We ensured that the team could sustain these marketing processes on their own after our engagement, essentially installing a lightweight marketing operating system for the program.
Outcomes:
Re-energized Client Engagement:
PTAC program saw an immediate improvement in how they interacted with their clients. Staff began executing the new engagement tactics, resulting in more consistent communication and follow-up with businesses. The program manager noted that they now had “better ways to engage our targeted market segments” in place than ever before.
Fresh Insight Clarity:
The PTAC team was equipped with a clear set of actionable goals and processes for moving forward. Instead of ad-hoc outreach, they had a roadmap to follow. This clarity led to a qualitative uptick in workshop attendance and client inquiries in the months after – a direct sign that the new strategies were gaining traction.
Sustainable Marketing Processes:
Perhaps most importantly, the PTAC now has an internal marketing framework that they continue to use. By tailoring the strategy to their needs, we ensured the team felt confident managing their marketing activities. They can segment their audience, craft targeted messages, and measure engagement with greater ease. This foundation will help the program continue to grow its reach without always relying on outside help.
Center for Natural Medicine
Stage: Marketing OS (Demand Engine)
What We Changed (GTM + RevOps):
Installed a Marketing OS (RevOps-lite)
Unified lifecycle definitions (Visitor → MQA → SAL → SQL/Consult → Plan), set speed-to-lead SLAs, routed calls/forms into a shared inbox/CRM, and built a single lead→consult dashboard for weekly reviews.
Intent capture where demand already exists
Structured location/service pages for geo-qualified searches, fully optimized Google Business Profile (GBP), and corrected listings—turning “near me” searches into Sales-Accepted Leads instead of random calls.
Proof engine to raise close rate
Systematic review generation, Google Posts (program highlights, outcomes, events), and on-site social proof to reduce friction from SAL → SQL/Consult.
Operating cadence
Weekly stand-ups on SLA adherence and lead quality; monthly KPI reviews to reallocate effort to the highest-yield intents.
Outcomes:
Full Funnel Lift:
+172% Marketing Qualified Leads per month from the top- and mid-funnels and bottom-funnel lift of over +107% Sales Accepted Leads per month in Year 1.
Faster response, fewer drop-offs:
Sales processes and communication compliance improved, increasing consult bookings (SAL → SQL) and smoothing capacity planning.
Forecastability
A single dashboard tied marketing activity to booked consults, giving leadership an early-warning view of pipeline health and seasonality impacts.
American Landscaping Commercial
(Contracting Company — Revenue OS Stage)
- Marketing, sales, and estimating ran on separate systems (calls to paper forms to spreadsheets to inboxes).
- No shared lifecycle definitions; speed-to-lead and bid turnaround times varied by person.
- Forecasts were “best guess,” making staffing and equipment planning risky.
The mandate: install a Revenue Operating System that captures demand, enforces SLAs from inquiry → bid → award, and delivers a pipeline and forecast leadership can trust.
What We Changed (Revenue OS):
Lifecycle & SLAs (one language)
Defined Inquiry → SAL → SQL → Bid Out → Awarded → Scheduled with clear entry/exit criteria. Set speed-to-lead and bid turnaround SLAs; routed all calls/forms into CRM with territory and service-line ownership.
Handoffs & Playbooks (friction out)
Standardized a 6-question qualification script, pre-bid checklist, estimator queue, and proposal templates. Created a sales→estimating handoff in CRM with required fields so no opportunity stalled in email.
Single source of truth (dashboard)
One real-time view for leaders: lead volume, SAL→SQL conversion, bids issued, win rate, cycle time, and forecast by close probability. Weekly RevOps stand-up, monthly review, and a seasonal ramp plan tied to capacity.
Demand capture inside the OS (always-on)
Local intent capture and seasonal advertising bursts during bid windows—executed inside the same system so every call/click became a tracked AL, not noise.
Outcomes:
Top-of-funnel visibility up:
+274% search views YoY; +258% website visits; +218% phone calls from Google, resulting in more SALs entering the system.
From calls to real pipeline:
SAL→SQL qualification stabilized under the new script and SLAs; estimator queue made bid throughput predictable (less context switching, clear due dates).
Faster, cleaner bids:
Bid turnaround dropped materially (days → ~half the time); fewer misses against RFP deadlines; proposals went out with consistent scope and pricing structure.
Win rate & forecastability improved:
Record bid season:
With the Marketing OS running, the firm entered the window with a fuller, cleaner pipeline and converted more awards than any prior year.
Clean Impact
(Contracting Company — Revenue OS Stage)
Situation: Clean Impact is a commercial cleaning company based in Illinois’ state capital city. Their target clients are commercial building owners and facility managers – a group that can be elusive and hard to reach through traditional advertising. Before partnering with Buzzworthy, Clean Impact had limited online exposure; when these decision-makers searched for cleaning services. The company needed greater online visibility and credibility to break into the consideration set of local building owners, and to ultimately drive more inbound calls for cleaning contracts.
What We Changed:
Strategic Local SEO
Reputation Building
Knowing the target audience values trust, we helped Clean Impact implement a review acquisition strategy. Over six months, Clean Impact went from only a few reviews to dozens of 5-star testimonials. This social proof made building owners far more comfortable reaching out.
Geo-Targeted Content
We also optimized Clean Impact’s website with localized content, adding pages that spoke to industries they serve. This content helped improve organic search rankings. In addition, we ran a modest Google Ads campaign to capture immediate interest, making sure Clean Impact appeared above competitors when it mattered most.
Outcomes:
+68% Increased Visibility:
In the first six months after implementation, Clean Impact’s Google Search and Maps listings garnered 68% more views than the same period in the previous year. This indicated a sharp rise in visibility.
+130% Increase in Calls:
Double Revenue Growth:
With more eyes on the business and a bolstered reputation online, Clean Impact found it much easier to convert inquiries into contracts. The quality of leads improved, and with the increased volume, Clean Impact’s revenue grew exponentially. The consistent lead flow also improved their ability to forecast growth. Overall, a relatively small marketing investment yielded “huge returns” in the form of new long-term cleaning contracts – a testament to the power of inbound marketing for B2B services.
Regional Window Coverings Distributor
(Revenue OS Stage)
Situation: A regional window-coverings distributor operating without a showroom and serving a broad rural territory was effectively invisible to new trade buyers. Inquiries were sporadic, quotes lived in inboxes, and there was no unified view from lead to purchase order (PO) to installation. Competing against big-box and e-commerce required more than awareness, it required a revenue operating system that could capture demand, route it by territory, quote fast, and forecast with confidence.
What We Changed (Revenue OS):
One lifecycle, one language
Standardized definitions and handoffs: Inquiry → SAL (sales-accepted) → SQL (qualified spec/opportunity) → Quote → PO → Delivered/Installed → Paid. Each stage had entry/exit criteria.
Territory routing & SLAs
Calls/forms flowed into CRM and were auto-routed by territory/product line. Set SLAs for speed-to-lead and quote turnaround (same-day/next-day targets), with alerts for misses.
Pricebook & quoting playbooks
Built a standard pricebook, quote templates, and a lightweight approvals path for discounts. Estimators worked from a single queue with due dates and scope fields.
Organic demand capture (no ad spend)
Elevated findability where buyers already search (service-area presence, accurate profiles, project galleries, spec-ready pages). Trade-focused content and proof funneled inbound specs/measure requests directly into CRM instead of inboxes.
Executive dashboard & operating cadence
A single view across lead volume, SAL→SQL rate, quotes out, win rate, cycle time, margin, plus a simple bookings forecast by probability. Weekly RevOps stand-up; monthly plan/forecast review before vendor orders and labor scheduling.
Outcomes:
From invisible to a live pipeline.
First sprint baseline from organic inbound only: 8 new high-intent opportunities (SALs that advanced to quotes), converting to >$60,000 in booked revenue purely from findability and faster response, no paid media.
Speed & consistency up.
Quote turnaround moved from ad-hoc to same-/next-day targets; fewer dropped opportunities; cleaner scopes meant fewer revisions and faster POs.
Win rate & margin discipline.
Standardized pricing and approvals reduced discount leakage; better scoping improved close rates on qualified trade work.
Forecastability.
Leadership gained a rolling 90-day bookings view tied to quotes and probabilities, improving inventory planning and install scheduling.
