We’ve never been shy about celebrating the marquee Page Zero client exits, especially if there’s a splashy deal that makes headlines and moves markets. But most companies don’t land on the cover of Bloomberg when they hit a milestone.
They’re smaller, often founder-led, and their “exit” is more personal than public. For those owners, a sale can mean early retirement, seed capital for the next venture, or simply the satisfaction of a hard-won payoff.
Paid search has been the common thread in many of these stories. It’s the channel that helps a focused operator punch above their weight. Below are four such wins that rarely make the sizzle reel but deserve a toast all the same.
Four Quiet Wins Driven by Paid Search
Dijifi – Preserving Memories, Digitally
Dijifi began with a simple promise: turn boxes of films, slides, and paper into clean digital files—fast. Page Zero account lead Megan leaned on search ads to reach time-pressed families who didn’t know a service like this even existed.
Mibar – IT Specialists Find a Strategic Home
When they first approached us, Mibar was a profitable but niche ERP and CRM consultancy. Paid search, led by Dean, enabled them to capture high-value leads from larger rivals without matching their spend. Five years later, accounting powerhouse Citrin Cooperman acquired Mibar to deepen its tech stack.
ClubExpress – Associations, Organized
Association-management platforms aren’t exactly cocktail-party fodder, yet ClubExpress quietly became the leading SaaS choice for member-driven nonprofits. Dean again guided the paid-search playbook with crisp ad copy, granular neg-keyword work, and relentless landing-page testing. The result: a sale to Lumaverse that gave the founders runway (and capital) for their next act.
Infinite Skills – Learning That Scales
Before the term “online course” became household vernacular, Infinite Skills was selling expert-level video training in tech, design, and business. Paid search, led by Dave, supplied a steady stream of intent-rich buyers—developers Googling how to “master AutoCAD,” marketers searching for “Excel pivot table tutorial,” and so on. O’Reilly Media took notice and snapped up the catalog to supercharge its own learning platform.
Four Quiet Wins Driven by Paid Search
Whether you’re chasing Series A, cruising toward eight figures, or eyeing an eventual exit of your own, the playbook doesn’t change: throw fastballs for strikes, stay accountable to the numbers, and let intent-driven media do the heavy lifting.
