How we work

A deterministic quarter, repeated 127 times.

This isn't an agency Gantt chart that gets thrown out after kickoff. It's the actual sequence we've run on every B2B SaaS partner since 2022 — with the scars to prove it.

The compounding pipeline

How a quarter with Markingo actually runs.

This isn't an agency Gantt chart. It's a deterministic sequence we've run on 127 partners. You get the same system — tuned to your market, not reinvented.

  1. 01Intake
    Week 0 — 1

    ICP, signals, and math

    We reverse-engineer your ICP from the revenue data, build the signal model, and set the compounding metrics we'll run against for the next four quarters.

  2. 02Foundation
    Week 1 — 3

    Positioning, site, system

    New category narrative. New landing-page system. Brand + motion + copy + build, instrumented from day one. This is your new inbound engine's birthday.

  3. 03Velocity
    Week 2 — 8

    Content + video + SEO/GEO

    We turn on the publishing machines — blog, video, programmatic pages — and start compounding the surface area that Google, Perplexity, and ChatGPT all index.

  4. 04Demand
    Week 4 — 12

    Paid + direct mail + outbound

    Paid across Google/Meta/LinkedIn/TikTok/YouTube runs against a cross-channel attribution model. Direct mail hits every tier-1 account. Outbound books meetings.

  5. 05Compound
    Ongoing

    Scale, iterate, defend

    Every channel feeds every other channel. Monthly reviews prune what loses, double what wins. The system gets cheaper and more productive each quarter.

The first 30 days

Day-by-day, no mysteries.

Day 0

Contract signed, access granted

You receive a Notion onboarding doc, calendar invites for week 1, and Slack access.

Day 1

Intake + data access

Analytics, CRM, ad accounts, source of truth. We audit read-only first.

Day 3

Diagnostic delivered

Written one-pager: what's broken, what's working, what we'd do differently. Not a deck.

Day 5

Positioning workshop

2-hour working session. Outputs: new narrative, ICP canvas, outcome metric.

Day 8

Plan signed off

Quarterly roadmap with weekly milestones. You sign. We execute.

Day 10

First artifacts in review

Usually the new landing page hero or direct-mail concept. Ugly but real.

Day 14

Paid accounts audited + rebuilt

If paid is in scope. Parallel track with landing page.

Day 18

Video script approved

Shoot schedule set. Studio booked.

Day 21

Landing page live

Instrumented. A/B test running. Content engine spinning up.

Day 28

First measurement readout

30-min call. Three numbers. What we'd change for month 2.

How we operate

Six non-negotiables.

Every one of these exists because we’ve seen the alternative fail.

  • 01One Slack channel. Every touchpoint visible.
  • 02Async by default. Long meetings are taxes.
  • 03Written plans. Verbal agreements don't ship products.
  • 04Weekly demos. Monthly reviews. Quarterly strategy.
  • 05No surprise work. No surprise invoices.
  • 06Shared Linear board. Your team sees our queue.
