The Challenge: Navigating a Competitive & Evolving Market​

Before partnering with Marketing Genius Group, the Client faced several key marketing challenges:

​

• Inconsistent Lead Flow: Their existing marketing efforts relied heavily on referrals and traditional advertising, leading to unpredictable and often insufficient lead volumes to meet ambitious growth targets.

• High Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Without optimized digital campaigns, their ad spend yielded diminishing returns, resulting in a high CAC that impacted profitability.

• Limited Digital Footprint: While strong in installations, their online presence lacked the strategic depth needed to capture a wider audience, particularly in competitive search engine rankings and social media.

• Brand Differentiation: In a crowded market, articulating their unique value proposition and standing out from competitors was becoming increasingly difficult.

• Tracking and Measurement: A lack of robust analytics made it challenging to identify effective marketing channels and optimize campaigns for better performance.
