The challenge
01 / 04A new offer with no proof.
Auto Relief Assistance launched a new consumer service with solid economics, a clear pitch, and zero history of finding customers. No data, no ads, no learnings, no benchmarks. Just an offer, a budget, and a need to prove the numbers fast.
Most agencies in this situation reach for the shotgun: launch a brand campaign, build awareness, hope. We don't. The brief was specific: reach profitable customer acquisition in 90 days. Not someday, not next quarter. Scale could come after.
What we did
02 / 04Funnel first, not awareness first.
With no history and a hard deadline, you don't spend on awareness. You spend on direct response with high-intent targeting and obsess over conversion at every step. Every dollar either wins a customer or teaches us how to win the next one.
The 90-day plan ran three tracks at once: a single-purpose landing page built for one action, Meta ads aimed only at people showing clear purchase intent, and 12 ad variations tested in week one and narrowed to 3 winners by week three.
- The page: one offer, one action, a 4-field form, loads in under 2 seconds
- The audience: Meta ads to people with documented intent, no broad targeting
- The creative: 12 video and image variants, narrowed to 3 winners
When you have no data, your job is to generate it, not hide from it with brand metrics.
- Conversion-first landing page (one offer, one button)
- 4-field application form built for phones
- Trust signals above the fold
- Meta ad campaigns with high-intent targeting
- Starting library of 12 ads: video, image, carousel
- Server-side conversion tracking
- Heatmaps and weekly conversion sprints
- Lead routing to the sales team with response-time monitoring
The landing page hit a 7.2% conversion rate by week 4, against a 2–3% industry norm. That single number changed the math on everything else.

The results
04 / 04Hard deadline, harder execution.
Auto Relief Assistance reached profitable customer acquisition by day 60, a month ahead of the brief. Cost per customer settled at $18, with the landing page converting 7.2% of visitors across all traffic. Ads at scale return 5.4x.
The work continues today. The original 4-field landing page still does most of the heavy lifting, with fresh ads and refined audiences on the same conversion-first foundation. New services get added with the same playbook: build the funnel first, test hard, scale only when the numbers work.
