Optimization

US SaaS: Cost per Subscription Cut 72%, MRR Grown 8X in 90 Days

A therapist-workflow SaaS burning ad spend on trials that never converted. We rebuilt tracking, consolidated campaigns and launched remarketing.

The problem

A US-based SaaS platform helping therapists automate notes and streamline insurance billing. Despite strong traffic and free-trial signup volumes, the brand was burning ad spend without turning enough users into paying customers. Their cost per subscription was over $250, making the funnel unsustainable.

  • High cost per subscription plan: $255
  • No clear tracking for which campaigns were driving actual revenue
  • Fragmented campaigns leading to inefficient budget distribution

What we did

Deep account audit

  • Identified budget waste in campaigns that weren't driving revenue
  • Flagged poor-performing segments and paused them

Conversion tracking overhaul

  • Fixed Google Ads and GA4 tracking
  • Ensured accurate tracking for registrations, subscriptions and free-to-paid conversion rate

Smart campaign consolidation

  • Reduced campaign bloat and grouped efforts by intent
  • Split into top-of-funnel (registrations) and bottom-of-funnel (subscriptions)

Remarketing campaign launch

  • Built remarketing segments targeting recent signups
  • Used Search and PMax ads to push them toward paid plans
