A design studio with a strong portfolio but a referral-only pipeline rebuilt its landing pages, content and paid media around conversion. The cost per qualified lead fell 40% in the first three months.
Lumen Studio's work drew attention, but its pipeline came almost entirely from the founder's network and past-client referrals, so gaps in the schedule went unfilled. Earlier paid campaigns sent traffic straight to the homepage, where the audience was broad and the page did not continue the ad's promise.
The studio held no content assets, so every new enquiry had to be bought again at full price.
The campaign was rebuilt around the studio's three strongest services. Each service now has its own landing page that continues the ad's promise and states the next step plainly.
A content system was built on project breakdowns — published work explained through the business problem it solved — which feeds both search and social channels.
Paid media moved to tighter audiences and remarketing, with form automation screening leads before they reach the team.
Over the first three months, cost per qualified lead fell 40% while total lead volume held.
Enquiries arriving from organic traffic rose 63% as the content system began compounding, reducing dependence on paid spend.
Schedule gaps are now filled from a steadier inbound flow, and the team publishes new breakdowns as a standing habit.


Lead cost was reported per service line, not blended across the account, so spend could be moved toward the services that filled the schedule at the lowest cost.
Enquiry quality was tracked separately from enquiry volume. A form that produces more unqualified leads is not an improvement, and the studio reported both figures each month.
Lumen Studio runs the campaign in-house. Handover covered the account structure, the landing page templates, the written keyword exclusions and the monthly reporting template.
The studio reviews the account quarterly and rebuilds the landing pages when a service line changes.
