Channels that compound instead of fight. Full-Funnel Strategy.

Paid, SEO, CRM, and sales owned by four different teams, measured against four different numbers, blaming each other every quarter. That is what channels fighting looks like. Full-funnel strategy is the operating layer that turns those four channels into one system and gets them compounding instead of colliding.

One top-line
Every channel, every stage, every tactic rolls up to closed-won revenue. Dashboards show leading indicators. Decisions run on the trailing number.
Handoffs
Every transition in the funnel has a named owner and a documented SLA. When the handoffs are explicit, the leaks become visible.
Attribution
Multi-touch, server-side, offline-uploaded, and a model your CFO can read without a consultant in the room.

Why hire us on strategy specifically

The four layers most agencies refuse to own.

One top-line number. Everything rolls up to it.

Most operators have four separate KPIs on four separate dashboards. Paid optimizes CPL, SEO optimizes traffic, CRM optimizes open rate, sales optimizes close rate. Nobody owns the one number that actually pays payroll. Every engagement starts by rebuilding the KPI tree so closed-won revenue sits at the top and every leading indicator feeds it.

Handoffs with named owners.

Every transition in the funnel gets a person on it, a documented SLA, and an instrumented measurement. When the handoff from capture to nurture takes four hours instead of four minutes, the council sees it in the room and fixes it that week.

The weekly growth council.

Every Monday, same time, same agenda. Owners of every stage in the room with one KPI tree on the wall. Handoffs reviewed, priorities reset, next-week bets placed. The meeting your GM stops rescheduling because the decisions actually stick.

When four channels are owned by four teams chasing four different numbers, the funnel leaks at every handoff and nobody can say where.

Paid is graded on CPL. SEO is graded on traffic. CRM is graded on open rates. Sales is graded on close rate. Each team hits their own target and the business still misses the quarter, because the leaks live in the seams between them. The paid team ships leads the sales team quietly marks as junk. SEO brings traffic that never gets a follow-up. CRM runs cadences that do not match what sales is hearing on the call. Every quarter there is a new "attribution is broken" conversation that goes nowhere.

Full-funnel strategy is the operating layer that replaces all of that with one system. Traffic, Capture, Nurture, and Close designed together. Handoffs named, owned, and measured. One KPI tree with closed-won revenue at the top. A weekly growth council where the owners of every stage sit in the same room and make decisions that stick. A monthly strategic review your CFO can read. This is the layer that sits above the service-line retainers, and it is how they start compounding instead of colliding.

Three principles

What makes the whole funnel compound.

01

One top-line number.

Every stage, every channel, every tactic rolls up to one KPI: closed-won revenue per engagement. Leading indicators hang off it. Decisions run on the trailing number. When the whole team is looking at the same top-line instead of four separate dashboards, the blame game quiets down and the leaks become visible.

  • Closed-won revenue as the single top-line KPI
  • Stage-by-stage leading indicators feeding it
  • Every team looks at the same tree every week
Before
  • Paid team graded on cost per lead
  • SEO team graded on traffic volume
  • CRM team graded on open and click rates
  • Sales team graded on close rate
  • Nobody owns the one number that pays payroll
After rebuild
  • Closed-won revenue at the top of the tree
  • Traffic, Capture, Nurture, Close feeding it
  • Each stage has one owner and one SLA
  • KPI tree reviewed every week in the council
  • Channel contribution visible on one page
Illustrative. The shift from split KPIs to a unified KPI tree is usually the single biggest operating change.

02

Handoffs with owners.

Every transition in the funnel has a named owner, a documented SLA, and an instrumented measurement. When the handoff from capture to nurture drifts from four minutes to four hours, the council sees it on Monday and fixes it on Tuesday. Explicit handoffs turn invisible leaks into visible ones, and visible leaks get patched.

  • One owner on every stage transition
  • SLAs written down and reviewed weekly
  • Stage transitions instrumented in the CRM
03

Attribution you can defend.

Every click tied to a pipeline stage. Every pipeline stage tied to a closed-won outcome. Every closed-won outcome tied back to the ad platforms so bidding can learn from it. When the CFO asks which channel drove last quarter, the answer is one query away and it holds up under scrutiny. If you cannot defend the attribution, you cannot defend the spend.

  • Click IDs captured and persisted to the CRM
  • Pipeline stages mapped to revenue at the record level
  • Closed-won fed back to every paid channel

Back of the envelope

Rough math on your operating layer.

Three inputs, three numbers. Useful for framing how much of your marketing spend is running without a clean line back to revenue today, and how much a unified operating layer can pull back inside the attribution window. Directional only. Your real number depends on channel mix, how broken the current handoffs are, and how many services are sitting underneath the strategic layer.

%
What share of spend can you honestly tie back to closed-won revenue in the CRM today. Most operators sit between 30% and 60%.
%
How much of the currently unattributed spend a single operating layer can reconnect to revenue. Realistic range for a full-funnel engagement is 10 to 25%.
Directional only
Spend attributed today
~$20,000
Unattributed today
~$30,000
Recoverable under one operating layer
~$4,500

The recoverable number is spend you can put back inside a defensible attribution model and run decisions against. It is not extra revenue the strategic layer creates on its own. It is the share of existing marketing spend that stops being invisible to the operating team once the handoffs, the KPI tree, and the closed-loop are in place.

What you get

Five deliverables inside every full-funnel engagement.

Every full-funnel engagement ships with these five as the baseline. Additional scope layers on top depending on how many service lines are running underneath, how mature the CRM is, and how deep the executive readout needs to go.

KPI tree and stage-by-stage funnel health across channels
Every deliverable scoped before kickoff. Nothing billed that was not named.
01

Funnel map + architecture

Every channel, every stage, every handoff on one diagram. A working document the growth council references in every meeting. It lives in your tenancy and gets updated in the room.

02

KPI tree + dashboard

Closed-won at the top. Leading indicators per stage. Channel contribution broken out. Built in Looker Studio or Mixpanel and wired to your CRM and ad accounts so one number rolls up from the whole system.

03

Attribution model

Server-side event pipeline, offline conversion uploads, and a multi-touch model that handles your typical sales cycle. Your CFO can defend every line without a consultant in the room.

04

Cross-channel orchestration

Weekly growth council across every service we deliver for you. Decisions documented, next-week bets placed, handoffs unstuck. The meeting your GM actually protects on the calendar.

05

Executive readouts + quarterly reset

Monthly strategic review with the owner or CMO. What worked, what did not, what we are changing. Quarterly priority reset so the top 2 to 3 bets get relitigated in the room and stay decided.

Process

How the first 90 days of a full-funnel engagement go.

Phase 01 Week 1-2

Diagnostic

Two-week deep audit of every stage. Where is each channel leaking. Where are the handoffs broken. What would the funnel look like if it worked.

Phase 02 Week 3

Operating plan

A 12-month plan organized by quarter. Each quarter has 2 to 3 priority bets and 5 to 7 supporting initiatives.

Phase 03 Week 4-6

Rhythm

Weekly growth council, monthly strategic review, quarterly priority reset. The cadence is as important as the work.

What good looks like

Growth that is not accidental.

Specific numbers depend on your stage, your channel mix, and how mature the operating rhythm already is. What we commit to is the method and the cadence. Here is what clients feel, quarter over quarter, when the operating layer is working.

Predictable.
Quarterly priorities that stay on the list. A KPI tree the whole team understands. A growth rate that repeats instead of surprising you.

What a typical full-funnel rebuild quarter can look like.

This is a generalized example to show the shape of the work. Every engagement starts with a diagnostic of the current operating layer, and the diagnostic tells us what is actually realistic for your stage, your channel mix, and how mature the in-house rhythm already is.

What a two-week diagnostic covers
  • Channel audit across Traffic, Capture, Nurture, Close
  • Handoff audit: owners, SLAs, measurement at every stage
  • Attribution audit: click-to-CRM-to-revenue loop
  • Priority-bet design for the next quarter

Full-funnel strategy pricing that makes sense.

Monthly strategic retainer plus the service-line retainers we are running underneath it. Typically only offered to clients running three or more of our services.

Monthly strategic retainer. Only offered to clients running three or more of our services. This is the layer above, and it needs something underneath it to compound.
Fixed-fee diagnostic. Two-week audit scoped in advance. Credited against the first quarter of the retainer if you proceed.
Flat strategic fee. A straight monthly number for the council, the readout, the priority design, and the quarterly reset. No markup on the service-line retainers running underneath.
You own everything. The KPI tree, the operating rhythm, the council, the CRM. Day one.
Frequently asked

Questions we get asked every week.

  • Is this just a more expensive version of your other services?

    No. Full-funnel strategy is the layer that sits above the other services. It is what makes them compound instead of colliding. Without it, service-line retainers still work; they just work harder.

  • Can we start with one service and add strategy later?

    Most clients do exactly that. They engage on one or two service lines, see the pattern, and then add the strategic layer to connect them. Most of our longest-tenured clients followed that path.

  • How involved do we need to be?

    A founder, GM, or CMO has to show up to the weekly growth council and the monthly review. An hour a week, two hours a month. Without decision-maker presence, strategy becomes a slide deck instead of a system.

We had paid, SEO, a CRM, and a sales team all pointing at different numbers. Digital King pulled everything onto one KPI tree and ran a weekly growth council we actually show up to. For the first time the four channels are helping each other instead of fighting for credit.

The operating rhythm is what changed it. Weekly council with named owners, documented SLAs on every handoff, a monthly readout the board actually reads. Our GM used to manage marketing in her head. Now it's on a page and everybody can see where the leaks are.

We hired them for paid, added SEO, then CRM, then the strategic layer. That last piece is what made the other three compound. Before the growth council we were re-litigating the same two questions every quarter. Now those questions get answered in the room and stay answered.

I needed a thinking partner who had already watched a dozen other brands try what I was about to try. The monthly strategic review is now the meeting I protect on my calendar. Our CFO sits in. She stopped asking marketing for a breakdown because the breakdown is right there.
