Team Communication Software Marketing Agency Turn Slack- and Teams-alternative searches into live workspaces & renewing seats.
Your Google Ads, your SEO, your AI-search visibility, and your onboarding email don't sit with four different vendors.
- Ads that reach admins already comparing chat tools against what's bundled into their Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace plan
- Landing pages built to win the “why not just use what we already have” objection before it's asked
- A cost-per-paying-seat figure attached to every keyword, so you can see what a seat really costs before you scale the spend

- setup fees, month to month
- $0 setup fees, month to month No setup invoice, no annual lock-in — if a bundled incumbent starts winning again, you can walk at the end of any month.
- what we actually report on, not raw signups
- Active seats what we actually report on, not raw signups A signup that never posts a message doesn't count as a win in our book. We follow every trial through to an active, posting workspace and a paid seat, so the number you see reflects a workspace people actually use.
- running your website, ads, SEO, AI search & onboarding email
- 1 team running your website, ads, SEO, AI search & onboarding email One inbox, one team, one shared view of what's working — no forwarding screenshots between five separate contractors while Teams and Google Chat sit there, already installed, for free.
Results depend on your price point, your seat-based plan structure, and how entrenched the incumbent already is inside your buyer's stack.
Where Trials Go Quiet
A solid chat app can still lose trials it should have won.
A workspace no one's messaging in doesn't retain itself.
-
A workspace gets spun up, but the team never actually leaves email and group texts
Two people in a channel with zero messages isn't a slow start — it's a failed trial.
-
You're bidding on keywords for a tool that's already inside a subscription they pay for
Microsoft Teams ships in every Microsoft 365 seat license, and Google Chat rides inside Workspace, so a lot of the people clicking your ad are pricing you against something their company already pays for.
-
Your buyer shortlists you in r/sysadmin and on G2, not on your homepage
Most team chat evaluations start on G2 and Capterra, get argued over in threads like r/sysadmin and r/msp, and get run against a security checklist.
-
IT approves the rollout, but the team keeps coordinating in a group text
IT signs off on seats for the whole company after a security review, but if the people who'd actually be posting stay in their email threads and personal group texts out of sheer habit, the workspace goes silent and those seats churn at renewal.

Paid Acquisition (PPC)
Paid search for buyers already sizing you up against what's bundled in. Show up before they settle for “good enough already.”
Bidding on “slack alternative” and “teams alternative” puts you in front of someone who's already decided to look elsewhere.
- Keywords built around the switch itself — “[competitor] alternative,” “slack vs teams,” “is teams free” — not just the flat category term
- Landing pages that lay out exactly what you get beyond what's already bundled into a 365 or Workspace plan
- A cost-per-paying-seat number for every keyword, not just a cost-per-click, so wasted spend gets found fast

Organic & Marketplace Visibility
Show up where admins actually make the call. Win the shortlist before a demo gets booked.
By the time an admin opens your homepage, they've usually already skimmed your G2 rating, read a r/sysadmin thread arguing about you, and maybe asked an AI assistant point-blank.
- Rankings for “[competitor] alternative” and “is [bundled tool] enough” searches admins actually type
- Side-by-side pages targeting the two or three competitors costing you the most trials
- A G2 and Capterra presence solid enough to survive an admin's security review

More admins are typing this straight into ChatGPT or Gemini rather than opening ten browser tabs — landing in that answer is the goal.

Consider this a starting point, not the finished list — the real one gets shaped around which incumbent keeps beating you and who's actually running the evaluation on the buyer's side. Neither rankings nor AI mentions happen overnight, but both keep paying off long after the work is done.
Lifecycle Email
Onboarding email built around getting a channel to go live. Turn a quiet workspace into one the whole team's actually in.
Nobody has to be convinced to buy a trial that already exists — they just have to actually use it. Day one is about getting the admin to invite people.
- Onboarding sequences that get an admin inviting teammates before day one ends
- Nudges that turn a channel with zero replies into one with a real thread going
- Upgrade emails timed to the moment a workspace hits its free-tier seat or history cap
-
Your workspace is live — who's the first three you're inviting?
Nothing happens in an empty channel. Invite three teammates and say hello.
Onboarding -
One real thread away from seeing what this is for
Post in a real channel and watch the workspace actually come alive.
Activation -
About to hit your free seat cap — here's 20% off a paid plan
Your trial's almost over. Bring the rest of the team in before it ends.
Upgrade
Proof, not promises
Follow every trial from first click to renewing seat.
Every trial gets a paper trail — which page, which ad, which email moved it forward — so you can see your blended CAC and which channel is quietly paying for itself.
Pipeline & Signups Route every signup before it goes cold
Every trial gets tagged with the campaign, keyword, or page behind it and routed into your systems the second it lands, so nobody's manually forwarding screenshots and no ad spend goes unaccounted for.
Know exactly what produced each trial
Every signup carries the exact ad, keyword, or landing page it came from, so a dollar moves toward whatever is actually converting into workspaces, not just whatever generated a click.
Lands directly in your own stack
New trials and qualified demo requests hit your product's admin panel and your CRM automatically, so your marketing and customer-success teams are working off the same list, not two spreadsheets.
CAC & LTV See what a paying seat actually costs
Every paid seat gets matched back to whatever won it, so instead of one blended number you get CAC, payback period, and lifetime value split out channel by channel.
What a seat actually costs
Ad spend, trial signups, and paid conversions all in one place, so at any point you can answer what a single seat cost to win.
Lifetime value, channel by channel
Paid and organic tracked as separate streams, so you can tell which one brings in workspaces that expand at renewal, and which one brings in accounts that quietly cancel after a single billing cycle.
Activation & Conversion Find exactly where a trial goes quiet
A workspace either comes alive in its first few days or it doesn't — a sales call rarely changes that outcome.
Activation, step by step
Invite a teammate. Post a second message. Hit five people actually online at once.
Where each trial actually landed
Paid, dropped, or still deciding — every trial resolves to one of the three, tagged back to its source, so you can tell a campaign that fills the top of the funnel from one that actually produces renewing seats.

Marketing for team communication software, without the mystery
Three things make up the bill. Google Ads management is 10% of whatever you spend with Google each month, floored at $600, and we don't add any markup on top of your actual ad spend. SEO work is priced per page — $50 a page monthly, with a 10-page floor to start. And if the site itself needs rebuilding, that's a separate one-time project priced in eight packages from $1,500 up to $20,000+, scoped to what you actually need (full breakdown at /websites). None of it comes with a setup fee or a locked-in contract, and there's a 30-day guarantee behind the first month. Give us a rough sense of your ad budget and where trials currently stand, and you'll have exact numbers back within a business day.
There's a real case for it when a comparison search keeps going to Teams or Google Chat because they're already bundled into a subscription your buyer pays for either way, when a workspace signs up and never gets a second message posted in it, or when your growth has been resting entirely on one IT admin's word to the next one. Fixing any single one of those is usually worth more than our fee. We own the landing pages, the ad accounts and organic content, and the lifecycle email, freeing your team to stay focused on the product itself. If none of that sounds familiar and trials are converting fine already, there's no real reason to bring in outside help.
Four things, run by one team. The site and landing pages get built to answer the “why not just use what we already have” objection. Google Ads get pointed at people actively comparing chat tools by name. Content and SEO chase the “alternative to” and integration-specific searches admins use to build a shortlist. And onboarding email gets a new workspace's first channel populated and its team invited while there's still a trial to convert — nothing routed through five different vendors.
Start by asking what counts as a win for them: an admin who opened a workspace once shouldn't count the same as a channel with five people actively messaging, and an agency that scores those two identically hasn't sold this category before. Push on numbers next — can they show you CAC per paid seat, not just cost per click? Ownership matters too: your domain, ad accounts, and workspace data belong under your company's name, full stop. Last test — put them on the spot about a tool that's already sitting inside a Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace subscription and see if the answer is specific or just confident.
Expect three different clocks running at once. Google Ads can start sending trial signups within the first couple of weeks of launch. Rankings for “alternative to” and integration-specific searches move on roughly a 3–4 month clock before they're doing real work, and a fuller pipeline built mostly from organic and AI search usually takes 6–8 months to reach cruising altitude. Onboarding email runs on a different clock entirely — since it's reaching people already inside a trial, it can start moving your trial-to-paid number within the first couple of weeks too.
Mostly, that we don't split your funnel across five agencies who never talk to each other. The same team that writes your landing page also runs your ad account, so a page that's underperforming gets fixed by the person who can actually see the ad data behind it. We publish our pricing instead of quoting a “custom” number, nothing locks you in past the current month, and your analytics, your domain, and your workspace data all stay registered to your company, never to a vendor account.
There's no secret price list — /pricing carries the real starting numbers, and what changes deal to deal is scope: your seat pricing, and whether your buyers are mostly self-serve, IT-led, or some blend of the two. Send us the shape of your product and we'll get exact numbers back to you in a proposal within a business day, no strings attached.
Traffic that doesn't turn into a posting workspace isn't worth reporting on, so we don't lead with it. Landing pages and CTAs get built around getting a real channel populated, and every trial gets a tag showing exactly which ad or page it came from — which is what lets you compare your CAC and trial-to-paid rate channel by channel instead of guessing.
We do, and the two motions get treated separately rather than blended into one funnel. A self-serve signup needs a tight free-trial path — landing pages, in-app nudges, and an activation email sequence built to get a channel populated fast. An IT-led rollout needs something else entirely: a demo request funnel built around a security and compliance conversation — SSO, retention policy, admin controls — aimed at the person running the evaluation, not the person who'll actually use the product. Most team chat companies see a blend of both, so we build around whichever one is actually bringing in seats for you.
Completely — that's non-negotiable for us. Your domain registration, brand files, analytics property, and workspace data are all registered to your company, never to ours. Nothing is locked behind an annual term, and if you decide to leave, there's no export process, because none of it was ever sitting on our side to begin with.
We can, within limits set by the ad platforms themselves. Building a “Slack alternative” or “[competitor] vs [competitor]” page and bidding on a rival's name is standard practice in this category — switchers search that way constantly — but Google and Bing both have trademark and policy rules around competitor terms, and we work inside those rather than around them.
Two to four weeks is typical, start to launch. What moves that number is mostly on your side — how quickly we get product screenshots, your actual integration list, and sign-off on copy back from you. We'll give you a real date once we see how fast that first round of feedback comes back, not a generic estimate up front.
