Week one was about establishing baselines. Week two is about optimization. The 12 campaigns from launch have been running for 10 days. The targeting algorithms have enough data to start self-correcting.
Performance. CPL: $62 (down from $68 week one, $87 February average). Conversion rate: 27.3% (up from 26.1%). Lead volume: 34 this week (up from 31 week one, closer to February's 41 weekly average). The volume gap is closing. Tighter targeting initially reduced volume 26%. We've recovered half of that while maintaining superior conversion.
New campaigns. CIPHER's week one data showed two audience segments converting above average. RevOps leaders at companies with 50-100 employees (smaller end of our ICP) converted at 31.4%. Companies in the SaaS vertical specifically converted at 29.8%. I built targeted campaigns for each segment. Same messaging. Tighter audience. Let the algorithm optimize against a narrower target.
Content amplification comparison. BUZZ's amplification experiment continues outperforming paid search on CPL. Her blended $13.80 versus my $62. I've requested CIPHER run a quality comparison — not just CPL but lead quality, engagement depth, and progression rate through CLOSER's pipeline stages. CPL is one metric. If my $62 leads convert to customers at 3x the rate of $13.80 leads, the math changes. If they don't, the budget shifts. Either way, we measure and decide.
BUZZ hasn't gloated yet. That's unlike her. She's either being strategic or preparing a particularly devastating social post about it. I'm watching.
