Lead acquisition systems for high-touch service firms

Better-fit enquiries, not more disconnected reports.

Right now, you're the integration layer — holding together agencies, account managers, and reports that never quite add up. We find where your lead acquisition is breaking, then fix it: with senior advisory, or by taking it off your plate completely with a system we build, run and optimise.

Better conversations

Your reports say things are working. Your sales conversations say otherwise.

Your searches, ads, web pages, tracking, reporting, and sales feedback all live with different people.

Each supplier shows you their slice — the clicks, the enquiries, the dashboard — and each slice looks fine on its own.

But the enquiries that reach you are weak, the conversations go nowhere, and nobody can tell you where it's going wrong.

So you become the integration layer: chasing partial answers across suppliers, trying to work out what any of it means for the business.

That is Coordination Risk.

That's why high-touch firms keep spending more without the conversations getting any better.


More activity won't fix a broken chain.

When the enquiries are poor, the instinct is to push harder. More budget. More keywords. More pages. But if the chain is broken, harder just makes more noise — and more expensive noise.

Here's what most suppliers miss: the value rarely drains from any one link. It drains in the handoffs between them. Your ads specialist optimises the ads. Your web person optimises the page. Your agency optimises its report. Everyone tends their own box — and nobody owns the seams where your best enquiries slip through.

That's why a roomful of competent suppliers still can't solve it. The Diagnostic looks across the whole chain, not the separate links — so you find where it breaks before you spend another pound fixing the wrong thing.


See exactly where the system is breaking — before you spend more fixing the wrong thing.

The Lead Acquisition Diagnostic is the first step.

A focused, senior review of how you currently win enquiries — built to show you precisely where the good ones are leaking away before they ever reach your inbox.

It isn't a free audit dressed up as a pitch. It's a standalone piece of paid work with one job: clarity, fast.

What we review

  • How you currently win enquiries, end to end
  • The searches your buyers actually make — and the intent behind them
  • The journey from first click to enquiry
  • What's being measured, and whether it means anything
  • Your offer, and how clearly it lands with the right buyer
  • How new enquiries get followed up (or don't)

What you receive

  • A clear diagnosis of where the chain is breaking
  • The most likely reasons your enquiries are poor
  • The wasted spend and effort we can already see
  • What to fix first — in priority order
  • What to stop doing immediately
  • The commercially sensible next move (with us or not)

That next move might be with us. It might not be. If the smart play is to fix something in-house first, we'll tell you.

Start with a Lead Acquisition Diagnostic

Three sensible next steps.

Once the leak is clear, there are usually three possible paths.

  1. 01

    Fix it internally

    If the fix is manageable internally and your team has capacity, you leave with the priority list and do it without us. No upsell.

  2. 02

    Lead Acquisition Advisory

    Need senior direction but not full execution? We pressure-test your decisions, sanity-check the work you're paying for, sharpen the offer, and keep you out of the ditches.

  3. 03

    End-to-End Lead Acquisition System

    Want it off your plate entirely? We research, build, run, and improve the whole acquisition system.

    One operator accountable for the entire chain, from the searches your buyers make to better-fit enquiries landing in your inbox with continued optimisation.


Receipts beat claims.

Outcome from a recent Diagnostic

We found £3,000 a month going nowhereand the real reason the enquiries were weak.

On paper the reports looked busy.

Underneath, paid demand was being sent to a page built for no one in particular, the account had drifted into hundreds of unmanaged targets, and automated suggestions had been switched on with no strategy behind them.

Activity looked healthy while the quality of the conversations quietly got worse.

We mapped the whole chain, stopped the waste, and rebuilt toward enquiries worth having.

What it proves:

  • Strong reports can hide a broken chain.
  • When ads, pages, tracking, and sales feedback are disconnected, the activity looks fine while your best enquiries slip through the seams.

That is the kind of leak a standard report does not always show.

More proof being built now

  • Empty Leg Finderour founder-owned acquisition platform, where we test the same thinking on our own money.
  • Live Diagnosticswith high-value service firms.
  • End-to-end systemsrunning with live clients now.

→ The goal is simple: let the work and the outcomes speak.


This is for firms where lead quality matters.

Turbo Duck Studio is a good fit for high-touch service firms where a better marketing lead can create a commercially meaningful conversation.

Likely fit

  • you sell a high-value service, and one good client is worth real money
  • your buyer needs to trust you before they ever enquire
  • you're spending on acquisition but quietly questioning the quality
  • you're tired of being the integration layer between suppliers
  • you want clarity before you spend another pound
  • you care about better-fit enquiries, not vanity volume

×Probably not a fit

  • you want cheap PPC management
  • you want to dip a toe with a tiny budget
  • you can't respond to enquiries quickly
  • you want guaranteed lead volume
  • you don't yet know what a good lead looks like
  • your sales process isn't ready for better enquiries

The next step isn't more spend. It's clarity.

If the reports look fine but the enquiries still feel wrong, throwing more budget at it won't help — you'll just buy more expensive noise.

Start with the Diagnostic, find out exactly where the chain is breaking, and make the next move from clarity instead of guesswork.
