Now

With ScaleAddis

Your team publishes content but it doesn't rank for the terms that actually drive procurement decisions.

You publish the article. Procurement teams reference it.

Your outbound gets replies, but not from the $200K+ accounts you actually want.

Your name is familiar before the first email lands.

Your marketing works, but it's generalist. It doesn't compound. Every quarter starts from roughly the same baseline.

Every article, citation, and backlink you earned last month is still working this month. The baseline goes up.

You're rebuilding your delivery model, figuring out pricing, trying to launch a product, and pipeline still depends on referrals and your personal network.

The system booked 3 meetings while you were negotiating a contract extension.

Prospects ask ChatGPT or Perplexity who does [your niche]. Your agency isn't in the answer.

When an LLM gets asked, your name is the answer.

Your team is good. Your marketing (probably) isn't broken.
It's just spread too thin. Niche dominance is a specialist job. That's the job we took.

Based on insights from 300+ campaigns

Reply rates ranged from 1% to 10%. The variable was always the same.

300+ outbound campaigns for dev agencies. When prospects recognized the sender, from LinkedIn, search, AI recommendations, replies came. When they didn't, nothing worked.

→ 5–10x more replies when prospects recognize the sender

The 90-day build

Most vendors take 6 to 8 weeks to ship anything. Here's our calendar.

Day 1

Quick-wins shortlist in your inbox.

Within 24 hours. Not a meeting, a list. 30 verticals analyzed against your track record, competitive density, and demand signals.

Day 5

First niche content live.

First founder LinkedIn post ready for review. The library starts compounding now, not after a six-week onboarding.

Day 7

200 to 500 target accounts loaded.

LinkedIn ads running against the list the same week. Every channel from here on points at these exact accounts.

Day 10

AI citations start landing.

Your name appears when buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity who builds software in your niche.

Day 30

Outbound in motion.

Inbox warmed, list verified, first replies arriving. Sequences fire when accounts show buying signals, not on a calendar.

Day 90

Four channels. One account list.

Prospects have seen your content, your ads, your founder, and your name in AI answers. Outbound lands on a warm list. Direct conversations inside the accounts you picked.

What it feels like from the buyer's side

When the CTO at one of your target accounts sees your founder's post on Monday, gets a warm email on Wednesday, Googles your agency on Friday and finds ranking content, then asks ChatGPT who builds software in your niche and sees your name, that's not luck. That's the system.

Outbound, LinkedIn ads, authority content, and AI citations do not run one at a time. They run against the same 200 to 500 accounts, from the same week.

Authority compounds. Outbound delivers fast. The system does both.

Authority alone

Compounds like inbound. Slow start, exponential growth over time. Content ranks, AI citations build, credibility deepens.

Outbound alone

Linear. Fast first impact, but doesn't scale. Every email sent to a stranger starts from zero recognition.

Pipeline: both together

Quick pipeline from outbound on day one. Compounding authority that makes every email, ad, and touchpoint more effective over time.

Ran cold email for software dev agencies, IT companies, and MSPs. Learned what actually predicts reply rates. Built a system around it.

300+ campaigns. Unrecognized cold outreach replies under 1% of the time, and warm outreach barely doubles it. Recognized cold email replies at 5–10%. Everything ScaleAddis runs is built to hit one number: 10 qualified strategy calls booked on your calendar every month.

"The email isn't the first touch. It's the third or fourth."

200–500 named target accounts, worked from week one. Sequences that fire on real buying signals: funding rounds, CTO changes, hiring freezes, tech migrations. Authority and AI citations compounding underneath every send, so the list gets warmer, not colder.

"It's when you need someone who can stand up a real outreach engine rather than just fire off a few emails. That's where he delivered well beyond what I'd expected."

What if I pick the wrong niche?

We lock the niche in week one, then start shipping. No four-week research phase, no discovery deck. We analyze 30 verticals against your track record, competitive density, and demand signals, pick one, and ship content and ads against it the same week. The real validation comes in the 90 days after: real content ranking, real AI citations, real outbound replies. The market tells you if the niche works. Not a research report.

What happens if I stop after 3 months?

You keep everything. Every article, every landing page, every connection, every playbook. No lock-in. We have to earn the retainer.

Do you work with my competitors?

One agency per niche per geography. Period. While you're our client, your direct competitors can't hire us. The exclusivity is structural, not a marketing line.

One call. A straight answer on whether your niche is winnable.

30 minutes. Which vertical you can own, the 200 to 500 accounts inside it, whether a 90-day build pays back.
