The Client: Boost5Marketing
Boost5Marketing is a growth-hungry digital marketing consultancy. Even with great referrals, their stack was all over the place: scattered tools, manual tracking, sluggish follow-ups, and unclear attribution. Monthly revenue lingered at $1.5K. Ads weren’t working. Scaling felt out of reach.
The challenge? Build a system that predictably finds, nurtures, and closes leads—without hiring more people.
Zentara’s Playbook (Fueled by Go High Level)
1. Redesign the Marketing Engine
- Offer & ICP Clarity: We zeroed in on two key high-value personas, aligning messaging and offers for every funnel stage.
- Rebuilding the Funnel: Mobile-first landing pages, frictionless forms, strong above-the-fold calls-to-action, and trust-building with social proof.
- Measurement: Tracked everything (forms, server-side events) to eliminate attribution headaches.
Result: Landing page conversion skyrocketed from 8.1% to 22.9%. Qualified lead volume more than tripled.
2. Centralized Channel Management
- One Command Center: GHL became the single hub—integrating email, SMS, chat, calendars, and pipelines.
- Nurture Orchestration: Automated 10-touch mixed-media sequences (email, SMS, voicemail), customized per funnel stage.
- Content Beats: Weekly value drops, automated case studies, and 30-day re-engagement flows.
Result: Reply rates up 2.8×. Pipeline coverage went from 2 weeks to 6 weeks—future-proofing revenue streams.
3. Business Automation (Zentara Growth OS)
- Speed-to-Lead: Instant SMS + email notifications, plus a 2-minute callback task for every new lead.
- Missed-Call Rescue: Automated text-back with a direct booking link for missed calls.
- Lead Scoring: Engagement data (opens, clicks, page visits, replies) surfaced the hottest leads for follow-up.
- Show-Up Maximizers: Confirmations, pre-meeting reminders (24h and 2h SMS), and campaigns to revive old/cold/lost leads.
Result: Average lead response time dropped to a blazing 42 seconds. Over 50 hours per month were given back to the team.
4. Paid Ads That Print Receipts
- Account Overhaul: Segmented accounts for prospecting, retargeting, and loyalty—offers matched to each phase.
- Creative Lab: Tested 15 hooks across 6 creatives each week, methodically promoting winners and weeding out losers.
- Budget Optimization: Halted 41% of underperforming ad spend; doubled investment in top 20% performers.
- Audience Science: Built lookalike audiences from closed deals; warm retargeting paired with fresh case-study offers.
Result: Paid-ads revenue soared from $1,000 to $70,000. ROAS exploded from 0.9× to 6.1×.
