What we did

Tilstra Services runs one system across three channels. Meta Ads structurally delivers 8 to 10 qualified B2B leads per month for the Payroll Support proposition. Google Performance Max runs underneath as the always-on base: 1,205 clicks on 82,000 impressions at EUR 0.35 per click, producing 14 conversions at EUR 30. LinkedIn ICP outreach forms the third layer at 100% deliverability, 31.5% connection acceptance against a 5-15% benchmark and a 9.7% reply rate against a 1-5% benchmark. The three channels reach the same ICP at different moments.

Assumptions

  • Qualified leads in this case: 60
  • Your lead-to-client rate: 5%
  • New client — first-year value: € 75,000
  • Ad spend in this case: € 811

Source: The value of a new client is a multiple of a single placement. A client hiring three professionals per year at EUR 30,000 gross margin represents EUR 90,000 in annual revenue.

This is a model, not a realised result. Adjust the assumptions to your own margins and placement rate.
