Digital Marketing, SEO & Pay-Per-Click (PPC)

Engineering-Grade Performance Marketing, Server-Side Tracking & Technical SEO

Traditional marketing agencies send vanity reports packed with impressions and clicks while your actual revenue stays flat. Starstruck operates like an engineering department: we install server-side conversion pipelines to beat iOS 14 tracking loss, execute programmatic SEO to capture long-tail search dominance, and build laser-targeted PPC funnels that return provable ROAS.

Scaling Enterprise Pipeline by 312% with Server-Side Attribution & Programmatic SEO

Apex Velocity provides enterprise real-time event pipeline software to Series B through pre-IPO technology firms.

The Architectural Challenge

Following iOS tracking updates and strict ad-blocker usage by their technical target audience (CTOs and Data Engineers), their ad match quality dropped below 5.0/10. Their Google Ads budget was hemorrhaging cash on irrelevant consumer search terms, with a blended CAC exceeding $1,400 per SQL.

The Engineering Solution

Starstruck built a custom Google Tag Manager Server-Side container sending encrypted conversion events directly to Google Ads and LinkedIn ABM. Concurrently, we launched an architectural programmatic SEO hub targeting 240+ developer queries and implemented negative keyword pruning.

Questions Regarding Digital Marketing, SEO & Pay-Per-Click (PPC)

What makes your approach to PPC different from traditional agencies?

Most agencies rely on browser pixels that miss 30-40% of conversion data due to Safari ITP and ad blockers. We set up server-side attribution pipelines (Meta CAPI + GTM Server) and report strictly on Blended CAC, Net Profit, and MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio)—not vanity clicks.

How long does it take for SEO to produce measurable ROI?

Technical fixes (site speed, crawl errors, schema) often yield rank lifts within 3 to 6 weeks. Comprehensive programmatic SEO content strategies compound over 3 to 6 months, establishing defensible organic dominance.
