Who we help

Four kinds of B2B businesses where this works.

If you sell something where the buyer journey is days or months and the deal size is more than the cost of a coffee, PipelineLab is built for you.

⚖️

Professional services

LEGAL · ACCOUNTING · CONSULTING

Solicitors, accountants, financial advisors, B2B consultants. High-intent keywords, geo-bounded competition, $200-2,000 deal value per client. Google Ads is often the highest-ROI lead source available.

🛠️

Trade & B2B services

Agencies & freelancers

AGENCY · FREELANCE · STUDIO

Marketing agencies, design studios, freelance specialists running ads to land their next client. Client-fit matters more than volume; we cover the keyword-to-call structure that delivers it.

The lead-flow framework

B2B Google Ads is a funnel, not a campaign.

Every paid click moves through five stages. The brands that win don't optimise the campaign — they optimise the conversion at each stage. Drop-offs at the wrong stage waste 90% of your spend without you noticing.

01
The Click
METRIC · CTR + COST PER CLICK
Keyword research, match types, negative keyword lists. The unsexy filtering work that determines whether a click costs you $4 or $40 — and whether the person clicking is a qualified buyer or a tyre-kicker who'll never sign.
Target
$3–18 CPC
02
The Landing Page
METRIC · PAGE CONVERSION RATE
The page they land on after clicking. Headline match, social proof, a single primary CTA, and the form (or call link) that converts. Most B2B sites bleed 70% of paid traffic here because the page was built for SEO, not paid.
Target
8–18%
03
The Lead
METRIC · COST PER LEAD
Form fills, phone calls, demo requests. The point most B2B advertisers stop measuring — and where the real game starts. We separate "form fill" from "qualified lead" and only count the latter when calculating CPL.
Target
$40–280 CPL
04
The Qualified Meeting
METRIC · LEAD-TO-MEETING RATE
Lead → booked meeting → meeting actually held. The show-rate problem. The follow-up cadence. The qualifying questions that filter wrong-fit leads before they waste your sales call. Often the single highest-leverage thing to fix.
Target
35–55%
05
The Closed Deal
METRIC · MEETING-TO-CLOSE + CAC
The actual outcome. Cost-of-customer-acquisition, attributed revenue, contribution margin. We close the loop with CRM integration so every Google Ads dollar maps to actual closed-won deals — not just MQLs.
Target
15–35%

Email + call scripts for the first 24 hours after a lead converts. The 4-question qualifier that filters wrong-fit leads, the booking flow, and the "no-show recovery" sequence.

↳ Stage 05 · Deal
GUIDE · Integration

The CRM Attribution Guide

Step-by-step setup for closing the loop: Google Ads conversion import from HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive. Every closed deal traced back to keyword. Real attribution, not platform fiction.

First-pipeline stories

Real wins from real B2B beginners.

We don't show you "$1M ARR" screenshots. The students in PipelineLab are running their first B2B Google Ads campaign at small service businesses, agencies, and SaaS startups. Here's what their first wins actually looked like.

"

My first campaign generated 47 form-fills in month one. I was thrilled. Then the qualification scripts revealed only 6 were actually our buyer profile. The negative keyword work in week 3 changed everything — month two: 18 form-fills, 14 qualified.

CPL $98 → $34 · Quality 13% → 78%

SaaS demo signups had been costing me $340 each. Closed-won CAC was over $4K. Followed the funnel framework, fixed the landing page first, then layered in CPL math. Three months in: $190 CPL, $1,800 CAC. First profitable Google Ads month I've ever had.

CAC $4,200 → $1,800

The CRM attribution piece was the unlock. We'd been measuring "leads" for two years. The moment we connected HubSpot to Google Ads conversion import, we realized two of our three best campaigns were the wrong ones to scale. Pivoted in week 4.

I'm a freelance designer. $79 felt like a lot until I realised one closed client pays for ten years of this course. Six weeks in I'd booked two retainer clients via Google Ads. Single best-ROI investment I've made for my business.

Almost killed the campaign at week 2 — meetings booked but no-shows everywhere. The qualification scripts and "show-rate recovery" sequence pushed show rate from 32% to 68%. Same lead volume, double the actual sales conversations.

Show rate 32% → 68%

Six months in. Spending $3,200/mo on Google Ads, generating ~28 qualified leads, closing about 5 per month at $4-12K each. That's a real B2B pipeline, predictable for the first time in five years of running this firm.

An honest fit check

This is for you. Or it isn't.

B2B Google Ads only makes sense if your deal size and sales process support the spend. We'd rather you save $79 than buy something that doesn't fit.

✓ PipelineLab is for you if

  • You sell a service or software with deal size $500+
  • Your buyers research before they buy (not impulse)
  • You have a CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, or similar)
  • You can spend $1,500-3,000/month on test ad spend
  • You can take a sales call (or have someone who can)
  • You want a predictable lead pipeline, not viral spikes

This isn't for you if

  • You sell physical ecommerce products (try PPCTrueCoach instead)
  • Your deal size is under $200 (Google Ads CPL math won't work)
  • You can't field sales calls or follow-ups
  • You have no CRM and won't set one up
  • You want $0 ad spend and $50K/month in leads
  • You're already running profitable B2B Google Ads at scale

Common questions

Things B2B advertisers ask before joining.

B2B has longer sales cycles (days to months instead of single sessions), higher deal sizes ($500-50K vs $30-200), and the conversion that matters is "qualified meeting" or "closed deal" — not "purchase". Most ecommerce courses teach ROAS optimisation, which actively misleads B2B advertisers. The metrics are different. The keyword work is different. The landing pages are different. Treat it as its own category.
$1,500-3,000/month for at least 8-12 weeks. B2B click costs are higher than ecommerce ($3-18 CPC is normal in legal, accounting, B2B SaaS), and learning needs volume. Going below $1,500/month usually means you can't generate enough conversion data for Google's algorithm to learn, and the campaign becomes a slow money leak.
The targets ($40-280 CPL) are ranges across industries. A solicitor's CPL might be $250 and still be wildly profitable on a $5K case. A SaaS demo CPL of $80 might be unprofitable on a $30/month subscription. The Calculator helps you compute your *own* sustainable CPL based on deal size and close rate. Targets are reference points, not absolutes.
Yes. The CRM Attribution Guide assumes you have one (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Close, or even free tiers like HubSpot Free are fine). Without CRM data flowing back to Google Ads, you're optimising for "form fill" instead of "closed deal" — the difference between scaling profitably and scaling broke. We help you set up the loop in week 5.
Almost certainly not. Honest answer: most B2B advertisers see their first qualified meeting in week 2-3, first closed deal in week 4-8 (depending on sales cycle), and CPL stabilising around month 2-3. B2B has a longer feedback loop than ecom. Anyone promising "$10K MRR from Google Ads in 30 days" is selling fiction.
Carefully. Pmax can work for B2B but only after you have solid CRM data flowing back (it learns from closed-won data, not form-fills). Most beginners running Pmax cold burn 60-80% of their budget on bad-fit leads. We start with controlled Search campaigns and add Pmax in week 7-8 once your conversion data is honest.
30 days, no questions asked. Email us, we refund. We'd rather have your $79 back than have you regret the decision. The community works because students show up, not because they feel trapped.
No catch. We charge $79 deliberately. Most B2B Google Ads courses are $997-2,997 and most are agency funnels disguised as courses. Our model: keep Self-Service accessible, let roughly 1 in 5 students upgrade to Team or Enterprise if they want hands-on review. We make our margin on volume, not on rinsing first-time advertisers.

Stop chasing form-fills. Start filling the pipeline.

One funnel. Five stages. A predictable B2B lead engine. Eight weeks from today.
