Growth Consulting
A Revenue Growth Strategy Built Around Your Numbers
Growth consulting is the strategic layer above your paid media — diagnosing what's limiting growth, identifying the highest-leverage opportunities, and building the roadmap that connects marketing investment to revenue outcomes.
Most marketing agencies optimize tactics. They improve click-through rates, lower CPCs, and refine ad creative — and those things matter. But tactical optimization has a ceiling. If the strategy is wrong — wrong channels, wrong offers, wrong funnel architecture, wrong unit economics — no amount of tactical refinement will get you to your growth targets.
Growth consulting starts one level up. Before we touch a campaign, we want to understand your business model: what you sell, who buys it, what it costs to acquire a customer, what that customer is worth over time, and where the current funnel is losing revenue it should be keeping. That diagnostic work is what separates a growth strategy from a media plan.
LA PPC Pros brings growth consulting to mid-market and scaling businesses that need more than execution — they need a strategic partner who can connect marketing decisions to P&L outcomes, hold a point of view on channel mix and budget allocation, and build the measurement infrastructure that makes growth legible.
What Growth Consulting Actually Covers
Growth consulting is not a single deliverable — it's an ongoing strategic engagement that covers the full revenue system: acquisition, conversion, retention, and the unit economics that determine whether growth is profitable. The scope varies by client, but the core questions are consistent: where is revenue coming from, where is it leaking, and what's the highest-leverage place to invest next?
For most clients, the engagement starts with a revenue diagnostic — a structured analysis of current performance across channels, funnel stages, and customer segments. The diagnostic surfaces the constraints that are limiting growth: a conversion rate problem, a customer acquisition cost that's too high relative to LTV, a channel mix that's over-indexed on one platform, or a retention problem that's making acquisition economics unworkable.
From the diagnostic, we build a growth roadmap — a prioritized set of initiatives ranked by expected impact and implementation effort. The roadmap is not a wish list; it's a sequenced plan with clear owners, timelines, and success metrics. We then work alongside your team to execute the highest-priority initiatives and measure their impact.
Engagement scope
The Revenue Diagnostic
Every growth consulting engagement starts with a revenue diagnostic — a structured analysis of your current performance data designed to identify the specific constraints limiting growth. We look at the full funnel: traffic by channel, conversion rates at each stage, average deal size or order value, customer acquisition cost by channel, and lifetime value by segment.
The diagnostic is not a vanity metrics exercise. We're looking for the constraints — the specific places where the revenue system is underperforming relative to what the business model should support. A 2% landing page conversion rate when the industry benchmark is 4% is a constraint. A CAC that's 3x LTV is a constraint. A channel that drives 60% of leads but 10% of revenue is a constraint.
Diagnostic findings are ranked by revenue impact — not by how easy they are to fix. The highest-impact constraints get addressed first, regardless of whether they're in paid media, the website, the sales process, or the product. Growth consulting is cross-functional by nature; we go where the leverage is.
Unit Economics and Growth Modeling
Sustainable growth requires unit economics that work. Customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), and payback period are the three numbers that determine whether a growth strategy is viable — and most businesses don't have clean, channel-level visibility into all three. We build the models that make these numbers legible and actionable.
CAC modeling goes beyond blended averages. We calculate CAC by channel, by campaign, and by customer segment — because a blended CAC of $400 can hide a Google Ads CAC of $200 and a Meta CAC of $800. Channel-level CAC visibility is the foundation of rational budget allocation.
LTV modeling accounts for purchase frequency, average order value, gross margin, and churn rate. For B2B clients, we model contract value, expansion revenue, and net revenue retention. The LTV:CAC ratio is the primary lens for evaluating channel efficiency — and for making the case for increased investment in channels that are working.
Model outputs
Channel Mix Strategy and Budget Allocation
Channel mix decisions are among the highest-leverage choices in a growth strategy — and among the most commonly made on instinct rather than data. Most businesses over-index on the channels they started with and under-invest in channels that would perform better for their current stage and customer profile.
We evaluate channel mix across four dimensions: efficiency (CAC relative to LTV), scale (how much incremental revenue is available at acceptable CAC), fit (how well the channel's audience and format match the product and buying process), and diversification (how much revenue concentration risk exists in the current mix).
Budget allocation recommendations are built from the unit economics model — not from platform benchmarks or industry averages. The right budget for Google Ads is the amount that generates revenue at or below your target CAC, up to the point where marginal CAC exceeds LTV. We build the models that make those thresholds explicit and defensible.
The Growth Roadmap
The growth roadmap is the output of the diagnostic and modeling work — a prioritized set of initiatives ranked by expected revenue impact and implementation effort. It covers the full revenue system: acquisition initiatives (new channels, campaign restructures, audience expansion), conversion initiatives (landing page optimization, offer testing, funnel redesign), and retention initiatives (email sequences, loyalty programs, expansion revenue plays).
Each initiative in the roadmap has a clear hypothesis (what we expect to happen and why), a success metric (how we'll know it worked), an owner (who's responsible for execution), and a timeline. The roadmap is a living document — we update it quarterly based on what the data shows and what's changed in the business.
Prioritization is explicit. We use an impact-effort matrix to sequence initiatives — high-impact, low-effort items go first; high-impact, high-effort items get resourced and planned; low-impact items get deprioritized regardless of how interesting they are. The discipline of prioritization is often the most valuable thing a growth consulting engagement delivers.
Who Growth Consulting Is For
Growth consulting is best suited for businesses that have found product-market fit and are ready to scale — but aren't sure which levers to pull, in what order, or how hard. The typical client has $2M–$50M in revenue, is spending meaningfully on paid media, and has a sense that they're leaving growth on the table but can't pinpoint exactly where.
It's also well-suited for businesses at an inflection point: a new product launch, a market expansion, a shift in competitive dynamics, or a funding event that requires a step-change in growth rate. These moments benefit from structured strategic thinking, not just more tactical execution.
Growth consulting is not the right fit for businesses that need basic campaign management — that's PPC management. It's for businesses that need a strategic partner who can operate at the intersection of marketing, finance, and product, and who will hold a point of view on what the business should do next.
Our Growth Consulting Process
Revenue Diagnostic
We analyze your full revenue system — traffic, conversion rates, CAC, LTV, and channel mix — to identify the specific constraints limiting growth. The diagnostic output is a ranked list of revenue opportunities, not a list of observations.
Unit Economics Modeling
We build channel-level CAC and LTV models that make your unit economics legible and actionable. These models become the foundation for every budget allocation and channel mix decision that follows.
Growth Roadmap
We build a prioritized roadmap of initiatives across acquisition, conversion, and retention — sequenced by impact and effort, with clear owners, timelines, and success metrics for each initiative.
Execution and Implementation
We work alongside your team to execute the highest-priority initiatives — campaign restructures, landing page tests, audience builds, attribution fixes — and measure their impact against the roadmap hypotheses.
Quarterly Review and Iteration
Every quarter we review performance against the roadmap, update the unit economics models with new data, reprioritize initiatives based on what's working, and plan the next quarter's growth initiatives.
Growth Consulting Works Best Alongside
Strategy without execution is a document. These services turn the growth roadmap into measurable revenue outcomes.
PPC Management
Growth consulting defines the strategy; PPC management executes it. The channel mix recommendations, budget allocation models, and audience strategies from a growth engagement translate directly into campaign architecture.
