Conversion rate is the percentage of visitors or leads that take a desired action — filling a form, booking a demo, starting a trial. It's the efficiency metric of your funnel. A 2% landing page conversion rate means 98 out of 100 people you're paying to send to the page leave without converting. Even a 1 percentage point improvement on a high-traffic page can mean dramatically more pipeline at no extra ad spend.
For example, if 1,000 people visit your demo landing page and 30 book a call, your conversion rate is 3% — improving that to 5% with better copy and a cleaner form gets you 50 demos with the same traffic budget.
Conversion rate optimization is one of the highest-leverage activities in our toolkit — we run structured CRO tests on landing pages for clients before scaling spend.

Demand gen is the full-funnel marketing strategy designed to create awareness, generate interest, and drive pipeline for your product.
Lead Generation
Lead gen is the tactical activity of capturing contact information from potential buyers — gated content, webinar registrations, demo requests, contact forms.
Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
ABM flips traditional demand gen: instead of casting wide and filtering, you identify a list of specific target accounts and run personalized marketing just at them.
Intent Data
Intent data tells you which companies are actively researching topics related to your product — reading articles, comparing vendors, downloading relevant content — even before they fill out a form on your site.
Dark Social
Dark social refers to the sharing and discovery that happens in private channels — Slack communities, DMs, WhatsApp groups, private Discord servers, word-of-mouth — that attribution tools can't track.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
CAC is the total cost to acquire a new customer, including all sales and marketing spend.
