What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays chasing leads from outdated ZoomInfo lists—mostly small e-commerce shops that couldn't afford our retainer model. Their custom AI now pulls in mid-market B2B brands with real SEO needs, and we've closed three six-figure retainers in the last quarter alone, increasing our annual recurring revenue by 35%. It's like having a dedicated BD specialist who never sleeps."
Sarah Jenkins
Growth Director, PixelForge Agency
"We were drowning in unqualified RFPs from generic sources that ate into our campaign delivery time for B2B SaaS clients. The AI lead system they built integrates seamlessly with our HubSpot CRM and scores prospects based on our niche expertise in lead nurturing funnels. In four months, our qualified pipeline doubled to $1.2M, and we're finally scaling without hiring more account managers—team morale is through the roof."
Mike Rivera
Partner, StratCom Marketing
"Generic tools like Apollo gave us volume but no quality—leads that vanished after discovery calls with mismatched budgets. AIQ's custom enrichment pulls real intel on client pain points, like recent shifts in digital ad spend for enterprise tech firms. We've landed two Fortune 500 clients this year, pushing our utilization rate from 65% to 82% and cutting proposal waste by half. Game-changer for service firms like ours."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI lead generation differ from tools like HubSpot or LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Unlike those subscription-based platforms with one-size-fits-all algorithms, we engineer custom AI tailored to your agency's niche—say, scoring leads for PPC expertise in e-commerce. We integrate deeply with your existing CRM, avoiding data silos, and give you full ownership. Agencies typically see 3x ROI in the first year because it's built for your workflow, not a generic funnel. Setup involves mapping your client archetypes, then deploying a model that learns from your wins, ensuring leads match the high-value relationships you thrive on.
What data sources does the lead generation use for marketing agencies?
We pull from targeted, agency-relevant sources: industry publications like Marketing Week, LinkedIn professional networks, company funding announcements via Crunchbase, and public RFI postings. The AI enriches with behavioral data, such as website visits to competitor agencies or shifts in marketing budgets. Everything is customized—no scraping irrelevant B2C lists. This results in prospects actively seeking services like yours, reducing chase time by 40%. We ensure ethical sourcing and compliance, so your pipeline stays clean and actionable.
How long does it take to implement a custom AI lead system?
From kickoff to live leads, it's 4-6 weeks for most agencies. Week one: Deep dive into your processes and data. Weeks two-three: Building and testing the AI model with your historical leads. Final weeks: Integration and optimization. This timeline beats no-code setups that drag on due to brittle connections. Post-launch, we monitor for 30 days, tweaking for 95% accuracy. Agencies report their first qualified leads within the first month, accelerating client wins without disrupting ongoing campaigns.
Can this integrate with our existing tools without causing disruptions?
Absolutely—our custom builds use robust APIs for seamless two-way sync with CRMs like Salesforce, project tools like Monday.com, and even creative platforms like Adobe. No more manual exports that waste billable hours. We map your workflow first, ensuring the AI feeds directly into your deal stages. For a recent agency client, this cut data entry by 25 hours weekly, letting teams focus on strategy. Disruptions? Minimal, with phased rollouts and 24/7 support during go-live.
What kind of results can marketing agencies expect?
Expect 2-3x more qualified leads within three months, with conversion rates climbing 35% due to precise targeting. One agency saw retainer signings increase from 15% to 42% of pipeline. Metrics include faster sales cycles (down 28 days on average) and higher LTV from nurtured relationships. We track via custom dashboards, showing ROI like leads per dollar spent. Long-term, it scales your growth without headcount bloat, addressing the common agency pain of feast-or-famine pipelines.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive agency data?
Security is paramount in client-relationship businesses. We build on your infrastructure or secure clouds with end-to-end encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access. Lead data—prospect emails, budgets—stays yours, with audit logs for every interaction. Unlike shared SaaS tools prone to breaches, our custom code eliminates third-party risks. Agencies in regulated sectors like finance marketing use it confidently, knowing we adhere to standards that protect your reputation and IP.
