I run Google and LinkedIn Ads for B2B SaaS companies spending $10–75k a month, and wire your CRM back into the ad account so bidding optimises toward pipeline instead of form fills.
Not hypotheticals. These are the first three places I look, and they are usually all true at once.
Your blended cost per lead reads as $84 and looks healthy. Split it and brand terms convert at $34 while non-brand runs $207 — a 6× gap the blend hides completely. Most of what looks like Google working is people who already typed your name into the search bar.
Seventy-five cents a click, $25 a lead, comfortably the best campaign in the account. It is largely brand queries plus low-intent Display inventory being re-credited to Pmax — Display on its own costs $219 a lead. The campaign is not winning; it is taking credit.
Smart Bidding is optimising toward form fills — including spam, students and your competitors — because no SQL or closed-won signal is ever sent back to the ad account. The algorithm is doing exactly what you asked. You asked for the wrong thing.
Benchmark figures from a 2026 analysis of 53+ B2B SaaS Google Ads accounts. Your numbers will differ — the shape rarely does.
Four figures from your account and you will see what your non-brand search actually costs, versus the blended figure on your dashboard.
Paid media only. No SEO, no content calendars, no organic social. If you need those I will point you at someone good, but they will not be me.
I’m Rahul Amarnani. Six years in performance marketing, most of it B2B, across the UK, North America and Australia.
At Ogilvy I ran B2B demand generation for enterprise clients including Visa and Mastercard. At Sleek Technology I owned paid media for the UK and Australia business units — USD 150,000 a month across Google, LinkedIn and Meta — where I scaled Performance Max from $300 to $1,200 a day and cut cost per lead by 28%.
The attribution work is the part I care about. HubSpot, Salesforce, GA4, GTM, SQL — connecting the ad account to the CRM is not a line on a proposal, it is most of what makes the difference.
Nonbrand Media is small on purpose. You work with me directly. There is no account manager relaying your questions to someone you never meet.
Give me read-only access to Google Ads, GA4 and your tag setup. Within 48 hours you get a written teardown and a short recording walking through your actual numbers, with a ranked list of what to fix first.
No call required to get it, and nothing in it depends on hiring me. If you take the document and fix it yourself, that is a good outcome.
Engagements run on a monthly retainer, billed upfront, with a three-month initial term and 30 days’ notice after that. Flat fee — never a percentage of your ad spend.
