Case Studies

SaaS

MetricFlow Agency Replacement

A B2B SaaS company fired their agency of two years after realizing reported metrics did not connect to revenue.

Challenge

The previous agency reported growing MQL numbers monthly but sales pipeline was flat. Upon audit, we found that 70% of MQLs were unqualified, ad spend was poorly allocated, and SEO efforts had produced no ranking improvements.

Our Approach

We rebuilt attribution, restructured paid campaigns around demo-qualified leads, launched a targeted SEO program, and implemented lead scoring that aligned marketing and sales on quality metrics.

Artisan Goods Agency Turnaround

A DTC brand was paying $15K monthly to an agency that had delivered declining results for eight months.

Challenge

The agency had been running the same ad creatives for six months, had not updated product feeds in three months, and was spending 40% of budget on audiences that had never produced a purchase.

Our Approach

We audited all campaigns, killed unprofitable audiences, launched a creative testing program with 30 new variants, rebuilt product feed optimization, and implemented proper revenue attribution.

Pinnacle Advisors Fresh Start

A financial advisory firm had cycled through three agencies in four years with no meaningful growth.

Challenge

Each previous agency delivered the same generic strategy: blog posts no one read, social media posts with no engagement, and Google Ads campaigns targeting broad terms that attracted unqualified leads.

Our Approach

We built a thought leadership content program targeting high-net-worth individuals, launched LinkedIn campaigns to specific executive demographics, and created a nurture system for the long advisory sales cycle.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★
4.9/5 from 80+ reviews
★★★★★

“The audit ZapTap did on our previous agency was eye-opening. We were paying $12K a month for work that was actively hurting our search rankings. Pipeline growth 4.2x in six months tells the whole story.”

JB
Jason BurkeVP Marketing, MetricFlow
★★★★★

“ZapTap cut our ad spend by 40% and nearly tripled our revenue. Our previous agency was spending money on audiences that never bought anything and nobody noticed until ZapTap audited the accounts.”

RD
Rachel DumontFounder, Artisan Goods
★★★★★

“After three failed agencies, we were skeptical. ZapTap is the first partner that understood our audience and delivered real results. $8.4M in new assets under management from marketing alone.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Key warning signs include: reporting on vanity metrics instead of revenue impact, no clear connection between marketing spend and business results, rotating account managers, unchanged strategy for months, and results that are flat or declining despite continued spend. Our free second opinion audit provides objective answers.

No. Our 30-day transition process is designed for continuity. We recover all account access, maintain active campaigns during handover, and only make changes after the audit is complete and new strategy is ready. Most clients experience improved performance within the first month.

You own your accounts and data. If your agency is uncooperative, we have experience navigating access recovery through platform support channels and can guide you through the process. All major platforms have procedures for account ownership verification.

Three things: First, no long-term contracts mean we earn your business every month. Second, senior strategists do the actual work on your account. Third, we report on revenue and ROI, not vanity metrics. If we do not produce results, you leave. That alignment drives everything we do.

Our free second opinion audit serves as the proof of concept. We show you exactly what your previous agency did and did not deliver, identify specific opportunities, and outline expected results before you commit. You see our thinking and thoroughness before spending a dollar.

Yes. We provide full-stack marketing including SEO, paid media, content, social, email, analytics, and web development. Unlike agencies that outsource specialized work, our team handles everything in-house for quality control and strategic alignment.

We offer subscription-based pricing with transparent monthly fees. No setup charges, no long-term contracts, no surprise invoices. You see exactly what you are paying for each month. Pause or cancel with 30 days notice. Our pricing scales with the scope of services, not arbitrary retainer tiers.
