An enquiry is only worth what it turns into. We agree what a good lead looks like before anything launches, and build the tracking to follow it past the form, so the number you judge us on is customers, not clicks.

Sectors we work in

Ecommerce lead generation

How we build a lead generation system

Nothing goes live until we have agreed with you what a qualified lead is. That definition decides the channels, the landing pages and the tracking, and it is what every report is measured against.

  1. Discovery

    We start by understanding your business, your target audience, and what a quality lead looks like for you. This shapes everything we build.

  2. Strategy and Planning

    We build a full lead generation strategy covering channels, messaging, audience targeting, and funnel design before a single campaign goes live.

  3. Build and Launch

    Campaigns, landing pages, and tracking are built and launched with everything in place from day one so performance is measurable immediately.

  4. Optimise and Scale

    We continuously optimise based on real performance data, cutting what is not working and scaling what is, with regular reporting keeping you fully informed throughout.

Lead generation agency

Why we qualify leads before they reach you

Lead volume is easy to buy. Lead quality pays the bills. We build systems that bring you enquiries worth quoting for, then qualify them before they reach your calendar.

This is our one service that is not Shopify-only. We run lead generation for B2B and service businesses as well as ecommerce brands, across the UK and the US, through paid, organic and outbound channels.

It suits businesses with a sales process and someone to run it. If enquiries already arrive faster than your team can answer them, more leads make the problem worse: fix the follow-up first and the same volume will earn more.

  • Platform-agnostic: we work with any business, any platform
  • Qualified leads, not just volume
  • Full-funnel approach from awareness to conversion
  • Transparent reporting tied to real outcomes

Lead generation services

What our lead generation service includes

Three jobs, in order: find the people worth reaching, turn a visit into an enquiry, and prove which part of the spend produced the customers.

Finding the buyer

Audience Research and Targeting

We research your ideal customer in depth - their behaviour, their pain points, where they spend their time - so every campaign is built on solid audience intelligence.

Paid Social Lead Generation

Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more - we build and manage paid social campaigns specifically designed to generate qualified leads at the lowest possible cost per acquisition.

Google and Search Lead Generation

Capture high-intent prospects at the moment they are actively searching for what you offer. We build and manage Search, Display, and Performance Max campaigns focused on lead volume and quality.

Turning a visit into an enquiry

Landing Page Strategy and Optimisation

A great ad means nothing without a great landing page. We design, test, and optimise landing pages built specifically to convert your target audience into leads.

Lead Nurture and Email Sequences

Getting a lead is the start, not the finish. We build email nurture sequences that keep prospects engaged and move them through to a conversation or purchase.

Proving what paid

Funnel Tracking and Attribution

We set up clean, accurate tracking across your entire lead generation funnel so you always know where your leads are coming from and what they are worth.

01

Qualify

Sorting the enquiries worth quoting for from the ones that are not, before anyone on your team spends time on them.

B2B lead generation

A trade enquiry form that sorts buyers before anyone replies

Black Sand came to us in 2022 with no storefront at all. Deals were quoted and closed in a WhatsApp thread, which works until the enquiries arrive faster than anyone can sort them.

We built the trade store and the qualifying funnel in front of it: a buyer says who they are, where they import to and how many containers a year, and that decides what they see. Its search, lead generation and paid ads are still ours to run.

Paid, organic and outbound

Where the enquiries come from

Every channel trades speed against cost over time. We pick them by where your buyers already spend their attention, and set the expectation channel by channel before you spend anything.

Channel First enquiries Over time Best for
Paid social Within days Stops when the spend stops Buyers who are not searching for you yet
Google search Within days Stops when the spend stops Buyers already searching for what you do
Organic search Months Compounds, and keeps working without spend A market where you can own the answers
Outbound Months Compounds as the list and the message sharpen A defined list of accounts worth pursuing
Paid ads and performance marketing
02

Convert

The page the ad lands on, the follow-up after the form, and the tracking that says which of them produced the customer.

Site, tracking, paid media and the lead funnel

Lead generation for service businesses

A contractor’s site rebuilt around one question: did they call?

Smart Surfacing Solutions lays tarmac and resin for roads, driveways and car parks. It sells jobs, not products, and every job starts with an enquiry.

We redesigned the WordPress site, built the funnel their Meta and Google Ads land on, and set up the tracking that traces each enquiry to the ad, the search or the page behind it. The site, the search and the paid media still run through us.

Ecommerce lead generation

Keeping a considered purchase warm until they are ready

Poppy Elder makes bespoke engagement rings set with unusual stones. Nobody buys one on impulse: they spend months deciding, and most want to talk to the person who will make it.

We built the store, then took on the paid ads and the email behind it on a retainer, so the follow-up is still there when they come back ready to start that conversation.

How we work with you

Funnel build

A fixed scope: the tracking, the landing pages, the forms and the routing, and the first campaigns pointed at them. You own everything we build, whoever runs it afterwards.

Project

Managed lead generation

We run the channels and the pages they land on, month to month, and report on what closed rather than what arrived. What Smart Surfacing Solutions and Black Sand run with us.

Monthly

Audit and advice

Your team runs the campaigns. We read the funnel end to end, agree the lead definition with you, and show where enquiries leak between the ad and the call.

Advisory

Is this the right thing to buy from us?

Worth a conversation

  • You have a sales process and someone to run it
  • Paid traffic lands on a homepage and hopes
  • Nobody can say which ad produced last month’s best customer
  • Cost per lead looks fine and the pipeline does not

Probably not this, yet

  • Enquiries already arrive faster than your team can answer them
  • Nobody owns the follow-up
  • You want volume now and will sort out quality later
  • Everything you sell is bought in one visit, with no conversation

Partners

Tools we have already run on our own stores.

The apps around a Shopify store decide as much as the theme does, and choosing between thousands of them is most of the work. We are a Shopify Plus Partner and we integrate the tools that sit around the platform. Every one of them runs on our own two stores before it reaches a client, so the recommendation you get comes from having paid for the thing and lived with it. When a brand already runs a stack that works, we integrate with it rather than rebuilding it to suit us.

How we use them

Straight answers

Is lead generation only for ecommerce brands?

No. This is our one service that applies whatever you sell. We run it for B2B and service businesses alongside ecommerce.

What counts as a qualified lead?

We agree the definition with you before anything launches, based on budget, timing and fit. Enquiries that miss it never reach your calendar. The definition gets revisited once real leads start landing, because the criteria you set in theory rarely survive contact with the first twenty conversations.

Do you run outbound as well as inbound?

Both. Paid, organic and outbound, picked by where your buyers already spend their attention. What we happen to enjoy running does not come into it.

Who follows up on the leads?

Your team, because the close belongs with you. We build the sequences and the routing so nothing sits unanswered while you get to it.

Do you generate leads in the US as well as the UK?

Yes. We run campaigns into both markets, with separate messaging where the buying process differs. A US buyer and a UK buyer rarely respond to the same wording.

How quickly do leads start coming in?

Paid channels can produce enquiries within days. Organic and outbound compound over months. We set the expectation channel by channel before you spend anything.

How do you stop us paying for leads that never convert?

By agreeing what a good lead looks like before launch, then reporting on what closed rather than what arrived. Cost per lead flatters a campaign that fills your inbox with the wrong people. Cost per customer tells you whether the channel works, and that is the number we optimise against.

Tell us where your enquiries come from

Send the site and what a good lead is worth to you. We reply personally, and if the honest answer is that the follow-up needs fixing before the volume does, that is the reply you get.
