Your paid spend isn't scaling. Here's why.
Most Marseille SaaS teams waste 30–40% of budget on cold audiences. We rebuild campaigns around conversion intent, not vanity metrics.
📍 Marseille Market Insight: Marseille's 45,000+ SMBs spend an average of €2,200/month on digital marketing, yet most Technology & SaaS founders report unsustainable cost-per-lead and poor LinkedIn conversion. The maritime, logistics, and tech clusters here are under-served by agencies that understand SaaS unit economics. High CPCs and misaligned audience targeting plague the market—but this creates opportunity for disciplined, data-first operators.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Marseille's technology & saas sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your CPCs have risen 35% in six months. You're hitting daily budget but seeing fewer qualified inquiries.”
Audience segmentation is too broad. You're bidding on keywords without intent signals, and retargeting pools are cold. Platform algorithms reward spend volume, not efficiency.
You're losing €600–€1,200/month to wasted impressions and clicks from non-buyers. At €2,200/month total spend, that's 27–55% leakage.
“Your LinkedIn ads get engagement (likes, comments) but your sales team reports zero qualified pipeline from them.”
Engagement ≠ buying intent. You're attracting network activity, not decision-makers evaluating solutions. Content strategy isn't tied to your sales qualification criteria.
LinkedIn spend (often €400–€800/month for SaaS) generates vanity metrics but no revenue impact. Effective waste.
“You've tried three agencies in two years. Each promised 'data-driven campaigns' but reported on impressions and CTR, not pipeline or revenue.”
Most generalist agencies lack SaaS fluency. They optimize for platform-friendly metrics, not your customer acquisition cost or sales-cycle reality. No accountability to your unit economics.
You've burned €18,000–€36,000 in fees with minimal learning or systematization. You're rebuilding strategy from scratch each time.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Market Fit
Week 1–2We analyze your current paid spend, platform setup, and conversion funnel. We map your ideal customer profile against Marseille's market data and your sales cycle. This reveals where leakage is happening and which channels align with your unit economics.
20-page diagnostic report + 90-minute strategy call
Intent Architecture
Week 3–4We rebuild your audience strategy around buyer intent signals, not demographics. For SaaS, this means identifying keyword intent, account-based segments, and behavioral triggers that predict sales readiness. We eliminate cold audiences and low-intent keywords causing CPC bloat.
Intent-mapped audience blueprint + keyword/account tier framework
Campaign Restructure
Week 5–7We rebuild Google, LinkedIn, and Meta campaigns with conversion-focused creative, landing pages, and bidding logic. Each campaign has a single, measurable outcome tied to your pipeline. We A/B test messaging that speaks to Marseille's competitive tech ecosystem.
Restructured campaigns live + performance baselines set
Conversion Optimization
Week 8 onwardsWe track every click to qualified lead. Using UTM tagging, funnel analysis, and your CRM data, we identify which campaigns, keywords, and audiences convert. We reallocate spend weekly to top performers and pause bottom 20%.
Weekly performance dashboard + biweekly optimization recommendations
Revenue Alignment
Month 3 onwardsWe connect your paid metrics to actual revenue outcomes. Using closed-won data, we calculate true CAC and payback period by channel. This becomes your north star for budget allocation and team communication.
Monthly revenue impact report + quarterly strategy review
Within 90 days, most clients see 35–60% improvement in cost-per-qualified-lead and a clear line from ad spend to pipeline. By month six, your paid marketing operates as a predictable, scalable revenue engine aligned with sales capacity—not a cost center running vanity metrics.
Marseille Technology & SaaS Success Stories
A Marseille-based B2B SaaS platform serving the maritime logistics sector, founded 2018, €800k ARR, 12-person team
After 18 months of Google and LinkedIn ads, CPL had climbed to €187 while conversion rates stalled at 8%. The team was paying for broad brand awareness when they needed ABM-style precision. LinkedIn campaigns attracted activity but no qualified pipeline.
- →Segmented audience into 5 intent tiers (research, evaluation, buying-signal, in-market, churned). Eliminated bottom 40% of cold audiences causing CPC inflation.
- →Rebuilt LinkedIn strategy as account-based campaign targeting 200 high-fit companies (€2m+ logistics operators in Marseille/PACA). Switched from organic engagement bait to CEO/COO decision-maker messaging.
- →Integrated HubSpot lead scoring into campaign logic. Paused campaigns sending unqualified leads; doubled budget on channels feeding sales-qualified leads.
“We'd been told by three agencies that our metrics looked 'healthy.' But we knew something was wrong—we weren't closing deals. Omakaase didn't focus on impressions or likes. They wired everything to revenue. Within four months, our sales team was actually excited about the leads they were getting. It's the first time our paid marketing felt real.”
A Euroméditerranée-based enterprise software vendor, 5 years old, €1.2m ARR, focus on compliance tools for regulated industries
€2,600/month paid budget split across Google, LinkedIn, and Meta. No clear channel performance data. Sales team complained about lead quality; finance questioned ROI. Agency churn every 12–18 months.
- →Conducted CRM-based forensics: traced 12 months of leads back to ad source. Discovered that 67% of 'conversions' came from one underinvested keyword cluster; Meta was generating brand-adjacent traffic but zero deals.
- →Consolidated budget. Killed Meta entirely. Shifted 70% to Google (high-intent keywords aligned with regulatory/compliance searches). Built LinkedIn as ABM layer targeting compliance officers at target accounts.
- →Implemented revenue-centric dashboard. Every campaign, keyword, and audience tied to closed-won ARR. Weekly optimization cadence with finance visibility.
“We were hemorrhaging money on 'activity' that didn't matter. The previous agency measured success in clicks and impressions. Omakaase said, 'Show me the closed deals,' and restructured everything around that one metric. Now I can predict revenue from paid marketing with 88% accuracy. It's transformed how we allocate budget company-wide.”
