A mid-market B2B SaaS company was generating 200 leads per month from Google Ads but converting fewer than 15% into pipeline. The root cause was not sales execution or ad copy. It was the conversion signal: Smart Bidding was optimizing for form fills, not buyers. After importing offline conversions from Salesforce at the opportunity-creation stage, pipeline volume climbed meaningfully and cost per opportunity dropped. This narrative case study walks through the audit, the structural fix, and what every B2B advertiser should check in their own account before concluding Google Ads does not work.
