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.
