The Challenge
Shutter Brothers needed to move beyond inconsistent, low-volume lead generation and build a predictable, high-quality sales pipeline.
Early paid advertising efforts showed potential but lacked consistency, efficiency, and visibility. Marketing performance stopped at form fills, with no reliable way to understand lead quality, follow-up effectiveness, or downstream impact.
The core challenge wasn’t traffic.
It was turning ad spend into a scalable engine for sales-ready opportunities.
The Solution
Built to Win From Click to Conversation
Rizen implemented a full-funnel growth system, designed to support both marketing performance and sales execution.
Strategic Paid Media Optimization
- Refocused budget on high-performing campaigns and keywords
- Google Ads emerged as the primary driver of qualified demand
- Ongoing optimization prioritized SQL quality and efficiency, not just lead volume
CRM Implementation & Pipeline Visibility
- Implemented a centralized CRM to track leads from first click through sales qualification
- Defined clear pipeline stages and SQL criteria
- Enabled real-time visibility into lead status, follow-up, and performance
AI-Powered SMS Follow-Up
- Deployed AI-driven SMS automation to instantly engage inbound leads
- Reduced response times and lead drop-off
- Improved appointment setting and sales conversations
Closing the Marketing Loop
- Connected paid ads, CRM data, and sales activity
- Optimization decisions driven by downstream lead quality, not vanity metrics
Marketing shifted from disconnected tactics to a cohesive, revenue-supporting system.
The Results
Built Right. Built to Win.
After system optimization and closed-loop tracking were implemented, Shutter Brothers experienced meaningful improvements across the funnel.
