Challenge

Competing against high-budget competitors, without wasting spend

Emailgistics operates in a tough, low-volume search space where competitors can ramp up spend and make efficiency harder to maintain. To keep growing, the team needed to be smarter about capturing high-intent demand: doing more with less, without sacrificing lead quality or visibility into what was driving results.

At the same time, leadership had little patience for a repeat of past agency experiences that optimized for activity instead of outcomes. “I swore I would never let anybody run our paid ad campaigns again,” says Henry Lach, CEO of Emailgistics. Reflecting on those experiences, he adds: “It was all expense, no results. They delivered a monthly report and said ‘Look at all the clicks we got,’ but they were all terrible leads. And there was no relationship outside of that.”

Emailgistics wanted a partner who could bring rigorous diagnostics, rebuild strategy around buyer intent, and run the program with the transparency and speed required to scale sustainably.

Solution

Scaling ad spend more strategically

Correcting campaign setup to prioritize high-intent demand

In the initial audit, Tiller found Emailgistic’s Google program was mistakenly set up to run Display-only, which limited high-intent search capture. Tiller corrected the setup immediately, then rebuilt the account structure around search intent so budget flowed to the experiences most likely to produce qualified leads.

Rebuilding the foundation around real user intent

Tiller restructured Emailgistic’s paid program to align with how high-intent users actually search and evaluate solutions:

  • Refined keyword and placement strategy to concentrate spend where intent was strongest
  • Reworked bidding approach to win the right auctions efficiently
  • Rebuilt landing pages to align with search intent and reduce drop-off
  • Rewrote ads to speak directly to the pain points behind each query

Every element was built to remove friction and make the path to conversion clearer.

Henry appreciated the thoughtful approach. He liked that Tiller didn’t rush to use the full budget, but earned the right to scale by proving what worked first: “Tiller took their time. They didn’t blow the budget in the first month just because I said ‘this was the budget.’”

That approach gave Emailgistics something they hadn’t had before: confidence. Tiller showed Henry and his team exactly where budget had been wasted, why key auctions were being lost, and how competitors were influencing performance. Every recommendation reflected a real understanding of Emailgistics’ market and what high-intent users actually cared about.
