Growth for Canadian small businesses, one funnel stage at a time

The five stages we measure

Every sale you make passes through the same five gates. We give each one a conversion rate, because a rate tells you where to work and a total does not.

Owners usually know stage 1 and stage 4 by feel. Stages 2, 3 and 5 are where the quiet losses sit. The growth strategy and funnel audit is how we measure all five in a few weeks.

A worked example you can redo with your own figures

Say a Canadian business gets 4,000 qualified visits a month. 2% of them enquire, which is 80 enquiries. 30% of those become customers, so 24 sales, at an average gross profit of $600. That is $14,400 of gross profit a month.

Now look at what one point of improvement is worth at each stage:

• Double the traffic to 8,000 visits: 48 sales, +$14,400 a month, but paid reach rarely doubles cheaply.
• Lift the enquiry rate from 2% to 3% on the same traffic: 120 enquiries, 36 sales, +$7,200 a month.
• Lift the close rate from 30% to 40% by replying faster and following up: 32 sales, +$4,800 a month.
• Get 15% of buyers back for a second order: another 3.6 sales, roughly +$2,160 a month, and it compounds.

The middle three changes usually cost far less than doubling ad spend. That is the whole argument for full-funnel work: the cheapest growth is often already in your inbox. Our funnel math guide walks through this step by step with a template.

Strategy and execution under one roof

Advice that nobody carries out is a document. Execution without a plan is busywork. We do both, in that order.

• Growth strategy and funnel audit: the measured map and the ranked fix list
• Demand generation: search, paid media and content aimed at buyers you can afford
• Conversion rate optimization: page and offer changes, tested properly
• Lead handling, CRM and follow-up: faster replies and consent-based follow-up
• Analytics and growth reporting: one scorecard that ties spend to profit

The services overview explains which to start with, depending on which stage is weakest.

The Conv.ca method, applied to the whole funnel

Ali Sedighi founded Conv.ca, the group's conversion-rate optimisation agency. Its process runs in four named steps: research and analysis, strategy development, implementation, then testing and refinement. We apply the same discipline beyond the landing page, to your reply times, your quotes and your repeat business. Every change starts as a written hypothesis with a number attached, and it is judged against that number, not against anyone's taste.

Results from our HVAC work

Our published case studies come from HVAC and heating companies, where the method was built and measured. We present them as results from our HVAC work, not as results in your industry. HVACDeal.ca produced 500+ leads at a 12:1 ROI. CombiBoiler.ca reached 300% ROI and 300+ monthly leads. BCWide.ca delivered 3× leads in 90 days. What transfers to other sectors is the habit of measuring each stage and fixing the weakest one; the results page explains what does and doesn't carry over.

Five signs the problem is not traffic

Before you buy more reach, check whether one of these is true in your business. Each one points to a stage further down the funnel.

1. Your phone rings, but nobody can tell you how many of those calls became jobs or orders.
2. Enquiries that arrive after 5 p.m. or on weekends wait until the next working day for a reply.
3. Quotes go out and nobody follows up unless the customer calls back.
4. You have hundreds of past customers and have never contacted them on purpose.
5. Your ad account reports conversions, but they don't match the sales in your books.

If two or more sound familiar, extra spend on reach will mostly pour into the same leaks.
