What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was drowning in leads from various SEO and PPC campaigns but couldn't track them effectively across our fragmented tools. Their custom CRM integrated our HubSpot data with internal client notes on retainer scopes, and within three months, we closed 15% more deals from nurtured SEO leads originating from backlink outreach. It's like having an extra account manager who never sleeps, handling our boutique agency's compliance needs seamlessly."
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Client Services, PixelForge Agency
"We switched from a generic CRM that didn't handle our PPC client workflows for performance reporting. AIQ's solution automated lead qualification using social engagement scores, cutting our follow-up time in half. Last quarter, we onboarded eight new clients from LinkedIn referrals that would have slipped through otherwise, boosting our quarterly revenue by 22%. Game-changer for our small digital agency team managing multiple retainers."
Mike Rivera
Growth Lead, Digital Edge Marketing
"As a boutique agency, we needed something flexible for content marketing leads from whitepapers and webinars. Their build captured attendee data and scored them based on engagement with case study downloads—resulting in a 20% conversion bump to consulting contracts within two months. No more lost opportunities in the noise of inbound inquiries; it's tailored perfectly for our advisory services model."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM differ from standard tools like Salesforce for agencies?
Standard CRMs like Salesforce are powerful but often overwhelm digital agencies with unnecessary features, leading to steep learning curves and high customization costs. Our solution is built specifically for your workflow—focusing on lead capture from marketing channels, AI scoring tailored to campaign types, and relationship nurturing that aligns with client retainers. We avoid bloat by starting from your needs: for instance, integrating directly with ad platforms to auto-populate lead data. Agencies typically see a 50% reduction in setup time and 30% faster adoption. Plus, you own the system outright, dodging ongoing licensing fees that can exceed $5K yearly for mid-sized teams. It's not just software; it's a strategic extension of your operations.
What kind of integrations can you build for our marketing tools?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations that go beyond surface-level syncs. For digital marketing agencies, this means connecting your CRM to Google Ads for real-time lead import, Facebook Lead Ads for instant qualification, and tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush for SEO prospect insights. Our AI handles data mapping automatically, ensuring campaign performance metrics flow into lead profiles without manual entry. We've integrated with over 50 platforms for clients, reducing errors by 60%. If you use custom stacks like Klaviyo for email or Zapier for automations, we'll enhance them with robust APIs. The result? A single source of truth that prevents leads from falling through cracks in multi-channel funnels, all while maintaining data security compliant with GDPR for client info.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom CRM?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most agencies see a fully functional MVP in 6-8 weeks. We start with a 1-week discovery to map your lead processes—from inquiry to contract. Development follows in agile sprints, with bi-weekly demos to incorporate feedback. For a typical setup including AI scoring and dashboard customizations, full deployment hits at 8 weeks, including team training. Post-launch, we provide 2 weeks of optimization to hit peak performance. This is faster than retrofitting off-the-shelf tools, which can drag on for months due to configuration hurdles. Our track record shows 95% on-time delivery, ensuring your agency minimizes downtime during the busy Q4 campaign season.
Can this CRM scale as our agency grows from 20 to 100 clients?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our architecture. We use modular, cloud-agnostic frameworks that handle exponential growth without performance dips. For agencies expanding client bases, the system auto-scales resources, supporting thousands of leads monthly while keeping query times under 2 seconds. We've helped firms triple their retainers by adding features like advanced segmentation for upsell campaigns. Unlike rigid platforms that require costly upgrades, ours grows seamlessly: add users, integrate new tools, or enhance AI models without rebuilding. Clients report handling 3x the volume post-implementation, with zero added overhead. It's designed for your trajectory, from boutique operations to full-service powerhouse.
What security measures are in place for client data?
Security is non-negotiable in professional services, especially with sensitive marketing strategies and lead info. Our CRMs feature end-to-end encryption (AES-256), role-based access controls to limit views by team level, and automated audit logs for every interaction. We comply with SOC 2 and GDPR standards, with regular penetration testing to thwart breaches. For agencies, this means client campaign data stays protected during integrations with third-party ad tools. We've never had a data incident in 150+ deployments, thanks to our zero-trust model. You also get customizable retention policies to auto-purge inactive leads, ensuring compliance without manual effort. Peace of mind lets your team focus on creativity, not cybersecurity worries.
How do you ensure the CRM fits our unique agency processes?
We lead with a thorough audit of your operations—no assumptions. In discovery, we interview key stakeholders to document workflows, like how PPC leads differ from content syndication inquiries. From there, we prototype modules that mirror your stages: capture, qualify, nurture, close. AI elements, such as lead scoring, are fine-tuned on your data for relevance—e.g., weighting social engagement higher for influencer campaigns. Iterative reviews ensure 100% alignment before full build. This bespoke approach has resulted in 40% efficiency gains for clients, as the system anticipates needs like automated retainer renewals. It's not adaptation; it's construction around your blueprint, making it feel like an extension of your team.
