Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Sheffield's technology & saas sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your Google Ads CPCs keep rising, but conversion rates stay flat.”
You're bidding on high-intent keywords without audience segmentation. Competitors in Sheffield's advanced manufacturing and healthcare verticals are also bidding aggressively on the same terms.
You're losing £300–£600/month to wasted clicks on prospects who aren't ready to buy.
“LinkedIn campaigns generate impressions and engagement, but rarely move to meetings or demos.”
Your LinkedIn creative and targeting are too broad. You're reaching job titles, not pain points. Without retargeting sequences, warm prospects drift to competitors.
Your LinkedIn spend is a brand-awareness tax, not a lead generation engine. Each failed month costs £200–£400 in unaccounted pipeline loss.
“You're unsure which campaigns actually drive revenue. Your dashboard shows clicks and impressions, not pipeline or customers.”
Most Sheffield agencies set up campaigns without proper conversion tracking or attribution modeling. You don't know which channels or audiences generate qualified leads.
You're flying blind. You can't optimize or scale because you lack the data to prove what works. Decision-making is guesswork, not data.
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 Your Paid Stack
Week 1We review every campaign: Google Ads account structure, bidding strategy, audience setup, and LinkedIn presence. We map your current spend against qualified pipeline—not just clicks. For Sheffield Technology & SaaS teams, this often reveals 30–40% of budget is leaking to irrelevant keywords or lookalike audiences.
Written audit report with cost-per-lead breakdown, gap analysis, and top 5 quick wins you can implement immediately.
Define Your ICP & Audiences
Week 2–3We work with you to build your ideal customer profile and reverse-engineer Sheffield's market. Who are you actually trying to reach? What job titles, company sizes, and pain points? We then segment your audiences by buying stage—awareness, consideration, decision—so your creative and messaging match intent.
Audience segmentation framework, targeting lists, and messaging hierarchy mapped to each stage of your sales cycle.
Rebuild & Test Campaigns
Week 3–4We restructure your Google Ads account into tighter campaigns by audience and keyword intent. We pause low-performers, consolidate wasted budgets, and launch new audiences with fresh creative. LinkedIn gets a complete overhaul: new ad sets, account-based targeting, and a retargeting sequence to nurture warm leads.
Restructured campaign roadmap, new ad creatives (3–5 variations per channel), updated audience lists, and a 90-day test calendar.
Install Tracking & Attribution
Week 4–5We implement conversion tracking (website events, form fills, phone calls) and connect your ads to your CRM or sales tools. You'll see exactly which campaigns generate qualified leads and which are noise. For Sheffield tech teams, this means aligning your £1,800/month spend to actual pipeline revenue.
Pixel-level tracking setup, conversion event documentation, and a monthly attribution dashboard showing cost-per-qualified-lead by channel.
Optimize & Scale Monthly
Month 2 onwards (ongoing)We run bi-weekly performance reviews, pausing underperformers and scaling winners. Each month we A/B test new audiences, messaging angles, and bidding strategies. Your data feeds optimization—not guesswork. By month 3, you'll have a machine running at 3–5x better efficiency than month 1.
Monthly optimization report, performance dashboard, and scaling recommendations. Calls every two weeks to align on progress and next moves.
By the end of 90 days, you'll have a paid marketing machine built on real conversion data. Most Sheffield Technology & SaaS clients see 40–60% reduction in cost-per-lead, 2–3x improvement in ROAS, and 35–50% more qualified pipeline from the same or lower budget.
Sheffield Technology & SaaS Success Stories
A Sheffield-based SaaS platform for advanced manufacturing, 15-person team, £2,200/month ad spend.
Google Ads CPCs were £3.80 and climbing; conversion rate was 1.2%. They were bidding on high-intent keywords but attracting tire-kickers and competitors researching the space. LinkedIn presence existed but generated zero meetings. They had no visibility into which campaigns drove real pipeline.
- →Segmented Google Ads by buyer intent and company size; paused low-intent keywords and created separate campaigns for SMBs vs. enterprise decision-makers.
- →Built a 3-touch LinkedIn retargeting sequence: awareness ad → case study → free trial offer, with messaging tied to manufacturing pain points.
- →Installed conversion tracking at form fill and demo-booked level, connecting ads directly to their Pipedrive CRM to track pipeline impact.
“We were throwing money at Google Ads with no idea what was working. Omakaase showed us our data was a mess and fixed it within weeks. Now every pound of ad spend connects to a real opportunity. We've reinvested the savings into scaled campaigns and hit our annual ARR target two quarters early.”
A Sheffield healthcare tech company, 8-person founding team, £1,500/month ad spend, Series A stage.
LinkedIn ads were generating engagement (likes, comments) but no actual meetings or demos. Google Ads were dominated by competitors, CPCs were high (£2.90), and they couldn't compete on keywords. They had no clear attribution model and suspected 50%+ of budget was wasted.
- →Shifted from broad LinkedIn interest targeting to account-based campaigns targeting 80 named healthcare IT decision-makers in the North West, with personalized ad creative.
- →Restructured Google Ads into micro-segments by search intent: 'healthcare software solutions' (awareness) vs. 'healthcare IT procurement' (decision stage), with separate landing pages and messaging.
- →Built a 60-day retargeting campaign across website visitors, LinkedIn profile visitors, and CRM contacts, increasing touchpoint frequency from 1–2 to 5–7 per prospect.
“Our LinkedIn strategy was broken—we looked busy but weren't busy. Switching to account-based targeting and proper retargeting changed everything. We closed two customers directly from these campaigns in month 5, and the unit economics finally made sense. This is how we'll scale.”
