Question 1

What does Ideabazi do?

Accepted Answer

Ideabazi is a performance-driven lead generation agency. We engineer integrated pipeline systems — paid acquisition, multi-channel lead generation, lead operations, and fractional growth leadership — for brands spending $10K to $250K per month on marketing across services, e-commerce, B2B, DTC, and lead-gen verticals.

Question 2

Who is Ideabazi for?

Accepted Answer

Growth operators at brands spending $10K to $250K per month on marketing and paid media who want qualified pipeline, not vanity metrics. We work across services, e-commerce, B2B, DTC, and lead-gen verticals — industry-fluid by design.

Question 3

What is a pipeline audit?

Accepted Answer

A pipeline audit is a diagnostic review of your paid channels, lead operations, CRM data, attribution gaps, and cost per qualified lead — delivered as a prioritized 90-day roadmap to lower CPL and grow qualified pipeline.

Question 4

How fast does Ideabazi deliver results?

Accepted Answer

Most clients see measurable cost per lead and pipeline improvements within 30 days. The pipeline audit delivers insights in week 1, with channel and lead-ops fixes deployed in weeks 2 to 4.

Question 5

What makes Ideabazi different from other lead gen agencies?

Accepted Answer

Three things: (1) we own paid acquisition, lead operations, and growth leadership under one roof — no agency-of-record finger-pointing; (2) we measure on cost per qualified lead and pipeline, not form fills or ROAS theatre; (3) every engagement carries a 30-day KPI-tied money-back guarantee.

Question 6

How much does a pipeline audit cost?

Accepted Answer

The Pipeline Audit is a $2,500 one-time engagement. It includes a full review of paid channels, CRM and lead operations, attribution gaps, and cost per lead, delivered as a 90-day roadmap. Ongoing engagements are custom-priced based on scope.

Question 7

What CRM platforms do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We architect and optimize HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel, and ActiveCampaign. The right platform depends on your team size, sales motion, and lead volume — not vendor preference. We are platform-agnostic and recommend the simplest stack that scales.

Question 8

Do you only work with B2B SaaS?

Accepted Answer

No. We are industry-fluid. We work across professional services, e-commerce, DTC, B2B, fintech, healthtech, education, real estate, and lead-gen verticals. The common thread is brands spending $10K to $250K per month on marketing that want engineered pipeline, not channel-of-the-month tactics.

Question 9

How do you measure lead quality?

Accepted Answer

We define qualified leads upfront with the client using fit (firmographic, behavioral, or commercial signals) and intent (engagement depth, source quality). Every dashboard tracks cost per qualified lead, lead-to-opportunity conversion, and pipeline contribution — not raw form-fill volume.

Question 10

What is the difference between lead generation and demand generation?

Accepted Answer

Lead generation captures contact details (forms, gated content, outbound). Demand generation creates awareness and intent so buyers self-qualify before converting. Effective growth needs both: demand gen builds the market, lead gen converts it into pipeline.

Question 11

How do you reduce cost per lead?

Accepted Answer

We cut CPL by fixing attribution first, then reallocating spend to channels with the lowest CPL by qualified-lead definition. Tighten audience targeting, kill underperforming campaigns, improve landing-page conversion rate, and automate lead routing. Our clients average 40% lower CPL within 90 days.

Question 12

Which paid channels work best?

Accepted Answer

It depends on average customer value. High-AOV / high-ACV brands lean LinkedIn, Google Search, and ABM. Mid-market and e-commerce lean Meta, Google, and TikTok. Lead-gen verticals lean Google Search, programmatic display, and YouTube. We pick the channel mix by economics, not preference.

Question 13

What is a good ROAS target?

Accepted Answer

Target 3X to 5X ROAS on first-order revenue with payback under 12 months. Below 3X the channel usually loses money once fully loaded costs are included. Above 5X usually signals underinvesting in awareness — scale spend until ROAS approaches your target floor.

Question 14

How does account-based marketing (ABM) work?

Accepted Answer

ABM targets a specific list of high-value accounts with personalized campaigns across ads, email, and outbound. We layer intent data on top of your ICP to identify accounts actively researching your category, then orchestrate multi-channel sequences. Best for brands with average customer value above $25K.

Question 15

How long does it take to build a lead engine?

Accepted Answer

A full lead engine build typically takes 60 to 90 days: weeks 1 to 2 for audit and channel strategy, weeks 3 to 6 for CRM, attribution, and landing-page buildout, weeks 7 to 12 for paid campaigns, lifecycle automation, and team enablement. Quick wins surface within 30 days.

Question 16

What metrics should we track?

Accepted Answer

Cost per qualified lead, qualified pipeline volume, lead-to-opportunity conversion, CAC payback period, ROAS by channel, and lead response time. Avoid impressions, click-through rate, and raw MQL counts as primary KPIs — they correlate poorly with pipeline.

Question 17

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every engagement includes a 30-day money-back guarantee tied to pre-agreed KPIs — typically cost per lead, qualified pipeline, or ROAS. If we miss the targets, you get a full refund. No long-term contracts, no lock-in.

Question 18

What is the best way to generate leads online?

Accepted Answer

Combine SEO content, paid search and social ads, landing-page CRO, and email nurture. Match the channel mix to where your buyers spend time, then measure cost per qualified lead — not raw volume. Most brands waste 30% of their budget on the wrong channels.

Question 19

How much should a company spend on marketing?

Accepted Answer

Growth-stage brands typically invest 7% to 15% of revenue in marketing. Earlier-stage brands invest 15% to 25% to build awareness. The right budget depends on growth targets, competitive intensity, and cost per acquisition — not an arbitrary percentage.

Question 20

What is conversion rate optimization (CRO)?

Accepted Answer

CRO is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action — filling a form, booking a call, making a purchase. It uses A/B testing, heatmaps, and funnel analysis to remove friction and improve conversion.

Question 21

Is SEO or paid advertising better for growth?

Accepted Answer

Both, for different purposes. SEO builds compounding organic traffic over 3 to 12 months with lower long-term cost. Paid delivers immediate pipeline but stops when you stop spending. Use paid for short-term pipeline while SEO builds a durable acquisition channel.

Question 22

What is a go-to-market (GTM) strategy?

Accepted Answer

A GTM strategy defines ideal customer profile, positioning, pricing, channel mix, and sales motion for launching or scaling a product. Strong GTM aligns product, marketing, and sales to reach the right buyers with the right message at the right time.

Question 23

How do you measure marketing ROI?

Accepted Answer

Track pipeline and revenue generated against fully-loaded marketing spend. Multi-touch attribution connects campaigns to closed deals — not just clicks or leads. Key metrics: CAC, ROAS, pipeline contribution by channel, and CAC payback period.

Question 24

What is the difference between inbound and outbound?

Accepted Answer

Inbound attracts buyers through content, SEO, and social — they come to you. Outbound reaches buyers directly through cold email, calls, and ads — you go to them. High-growth brands run both: inbound for scale, outbound for precision.

Question 25

How do you build a marketing funnel?

Accepted Answer

Map the buyer journey from awareness to purchase. Top-of-funnel content and ads for awareness, lead magnets and landing pages for capture, email sequences and retargeting for nurture, sales enablement for conversion. Measure drop-off at every stage and optimize the weakest.
