Multi-Channel Paid Media
The B2B Framework
Combine Google intent + LinkedIn targeting for $50-100 CPL

The Single-Channel Trap
Most B2B tech companies run LinkedIn ads, get clicks, then wonder why nobody books a demo. The problem isn't the platform. LinkedIn captures attention. But attention isn't intent. Google captures intent. You need both.
The Single-Channel Trap
LinkedIn ads get clicks but zero conversions
Add Google for intent + retargeting for nurture

Single Channel
- Clicks but no conversions
- No retargeting loop
- Generic messaging
- Wasted ad spend
Multi-Channel
- Intent + targeting combined
- Progressive retargeting
- Vertical-specific messaging
- Optimized spend allocation
The Three-Vertical Strategy
Instead of targeting everyone, focus on three specific industry verticals where your solution provides the most value. For each vertical, you need dedicated messaging, landing pages, lead magnets, and email sequences.
Reduces Waste
Stop spending on poor-fit prospects who will never convert
Increases Conversions
Relevant messaging resonates with specific pain points
Better Retargeting
Granular audiences enable personalized follow-up

The Lead Magnet Engine

Retargeting Tiers
Not all retargeting is equal. Structure it in tiers based on engagement level. The key is progressive commitment - don't ask for the meeting until they've shown buying signals.
