I scaled a performance marketing agency to seven figures with a 12-person team, but ad tracking was a constant pain:
Bad data: Platforms mis-attributed conversions, wasting budget.
Data silos: Ad dashboards and our CRM never matched.
Manual fixes: Nights lost merging CSVs just to see which ads drove real leads.
Most tools catered to e-commerce, not lead-gen. So in late 2024 I created LeadJourney - a platform that fuses ad-platform and CRM data, cleans up attribution, and shows B2B and high-ticket marketers exactly which clicks turn into revenue. Goodbye guesswork, hello truth-driven growth.
