My CEO wants to know why cost per lead jumped 38% last month. What happened?

Deep dive · about 3 minutes

Performance Max · Display $2,100 · 2 signups

Most of the jump is Performance Max. Last month it moved $2,100 onto Display and got 2 signups there. Search held at $164 a lead, as it has in all three windows of data.

Move the money to where it converts: $2,000 a month to Free CRM Search, which is losing 31% of its impressions to budget.

Your reality

One marketing hire.
Six channels.
No PPC specialist.

Channel 01 Content Owned
Channel 02 SEO Owned
Channel 03 Lifecycle Owned
Channel 04 LinkedIn Owned
Channel 05 Partnerships Owned
Channel 06 Google Ads Where the questions land

"Why did cost per lead go up?"

the CEO, every Monday morning

Answering it properly takes three hours, because you're not a PPC specialist and whoever built the account has moved on. A freelancer or an agency runs about $60K a year for one channel, which is hard math when you're on the hook for all six.

So Google Ads gets the leftover hours. The LinkedIn test sits in draft, the SEO fixes never ship, and Monday comes around again.

Three moments

The weeks you'd rather not face alone.

Three illustrative moments from a first year in the job, built from the kinds of accounts first marketers inherit. The question you'd ask, and the answer Hero AI gives.

FILE 01 · Week one, inherited account

When you ask

"I just inherited this account. What's broken, and what do I fix first?"

Week one. Whoever built it left no notes.

Hero AI · Investigation → Recommendation

Three setup problems come first, because every other number depends on them.

TRACKING "Demo booked" has recorded nothing for 12 days, so cost per lead looks worse than it is.
NETWORKS The Sales Hub trial campaign runs on Search Partners, which took $640 last month for 1 signup.
LOCATIONS Targeting reaches people interested in the US, not only people in it, and 18% of clicks came from elsewhere.

These are settings I can't change from here, so I'll show you where each one lives in Google Ads. Once they're fixed, I'll look at keywords and budgets. Want the steps as a checklist?

FILE 02 · The drop the CEO noticed

When you ask

"Signups fell 24% last week. The CEO wants to know if it's the ads."

Friday, 4 PM. The Slack message starts with 'quick question'.

Hero AI · Investigation → Recommendation

It isn't the ads. Clicks held, and click-through rate is flat at 6.1%. The drop starts after the click.

Since Thursday, clicks from the Free CRM ads land on /signup instead of /free, and that page converts at 1.9%, against 4.2% before.

Check whether a site change moved the page. If it did, point the final URLs back in Google Ads, and I'll tell you when signups recover. Want a three line version for the CEO?

FILE 03 · The budget ask

When you ask

"I want to ask for $5,000 more a month. Where would it go, and what would it buy?"

Planning season. The CEO will ask what the money buys.

Hero AI · Investigation → Recommendation

Only one campaign has earned more budget: Free CRM Search. It loses 31% of its impressions to budget, and its cost per signup has held near $164 in all three windows of data.

Google's budget simulation for it shows about 16 more signups a month at $3,000 more. That's Google's estimate from past auctions, not a forecast.

The other $2,000 has no proven home yet. Performance Max hasn't held a steady cost per signup, and Sales Hub trial has 9 signups in 30 days, too few to judge. Want it as a one page case for the CEO?

How the deep dive works How the dashboard summary works

How it fits

  3. 9:05 AM Alert Daily budget running out too fast: the Sales Hub trial campaign had spent 80% of today’s budget by 9 AM.
  4. 9:20 AM Summary You open the dashboard and click Write summary: what changed this week, and what to do next, before the 10 AM standup.

Why this exists

I was the marketer the CEO asked every Monday.

John Selvinraj · 9 years running B2B SaaS Google Ads accounts
Founder, Hero Marketer

It was 9:17 on a Monday when the CEO asked why CAC was up 43% last month. I said I'd have an answer by the end of the day, then spent three hours in spreadsheets confirming what I half suspected.

I wasn't a PPC specialist. I was the marketer who also ran Google Ads, next to four other channels. Hero Marketer is the tool I wanted that morning: it reads the account, finds what moved, and tells you what to do next, with the evidence you'd need to defend it.

Why I created Hero Marketer

Questions first marketers ask

What to know before you connect the account.

The account was set up by someone else. Where do I start?

Connect it and get a free scan: Hero Marketer runs every alert check once and shows you the top problems. Then ask Hero AI for a deep dive. It puts setup problems such as broken conversion tracking or the wrong location setting first, because every other number depends on them. When the fix is a setting Hero AI can’t change, it tells you where to find it in Google Ads.

Will it change things in the account that I can’t explain?

Hero AI changes nothing until you click Approve and apply on a card that shows the exact values, with the reasoning right above it in the chat. Budget, bidding and target changes, keyword pauses and new negative keywords can be undone in one click. Automations stay off until you preview them and switch them on. Once on, they act by themselves within daily caps, and every action they take can be reverted.

How do I show my CEO where an answer came from?

Every recommendation shows its evidence: the numbers, the three windows of data it compared, and what the next step depends on. For a written update, the dashboard’s AI summary gives you a headline, what changed and up to three next steps, and the PDF export puts that summary above the charts.

Do I need to know PPC to use it?

You need the basics: campaign, ad group, keyword, conversion. Hero AI explains the rest in plain English, and when the data is too thin to support a confident call, it says so instead of guessing.

We’re product led. Does it understand free trials?

Yes. Hero AI expects trial signups to take weeks to turn into revenue, so it won’t call a winner from a few days of data. It also treats pricing, demo and comparison searches as your highest-intent terms, instead of pausing them for an expensive cost per click.

Can I buy it without a procurement process?

Yes. There is no contract, no seat fee and no monthly fee. Credits come in $20 packs you can put on a company card, they never expire, and unused credits are refundable within 90 days of the purchase that bought them.
