BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and developer of an IT company. We develop innovative AI-powered SaaS products, including Weather In Touch, a personalized weather platform, and LingoSnap, an AI-powered language learning tool.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with MAIRA?

My main goal was to get practical guidance on how to effectively promote and market my AI-powered SaaS products online. I wanted to better understand which marketing channels, strategies, and approaches could help me reach the right audiences and grow awareness of the products.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

At this stage, the scope of work was primarily an initial consultation and discovery session. MAIRA took the time to understand my products, my current situation, and my goals for online promotion. The main outcome was practical guidance and direction on potential marketing strategies and next steps.The guidance was mainly provided verbally during the initial meeting. We discussed my products, target audiences, current approach to online promotion, and potential marketing directions. MAIRA shared practical recommendations and helped me identify possible next steps.

What is the team composition?

I don’t know how many teammates from MAIRA were assigned to the project.

How did you come to work with MAIRA?

I found them through an online search. I chose them over other options because they had high ratings, a great culture fit, and good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them in September 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since the project is still at an early stage, we don’t have measurable marketing results yet. The main outcome so far has been gaining a clearer direction for promoting my products online and identifying potential strategies and next steps. I expect the measurable results to become clearer as I implement the recommendations.The main early indicator was greater clarity around how I should approach marketing for my products. The discussion helped me better understand which areas to focus on, which audiences and channels to consider, and what potential next steps could look like.

How did MAIRA perform from a project management standpoint?

We mainly communicated through virtual meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What impressed me most was their personal and practical approach. MAIRA took the time to understand both of my products and the challenges I was facing, rather than giving me generic marketing advice. I appreciated how quickly they understood the different products and helped me think about more focused directions for reaching the right audiences online.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Since this was an initial consultation, I don’t have any significant criticism. If anything, I would have appreciated a short written summary of the key recommendations and suggested next steps after the meeting, as that would make it easier to turn the discussion into an actionable plan. Overall, though, I was satisfied with the consultation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire MAIRA to accomplish?

• Dobře — to je reálné zadání, s tím se pracovat dá. Návrh cílů (Clutch je anglicky): Goal 1 Build a premium web presence that matches the positioning of our studio — we were starting from zero, with no site and no visual assets of our own.
• Set up proper measurement so we can see what we actually pay per enquiry and per closed job, instead of estimating it.
• Run PPC campaigns driven by that data rather than by guesswork, and keep them tied to real business outcomes.
• Produce photo and video creative we could use consistently across the site and the campaigns.

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The engagement covered four areas: website, creative, analytics and paid search. Website. MAIRA designed and built our website from scratch. We had no site of our own before, so this included the structure and content of the service pages, the visual direction, and the technical build. Creative. They produced photo and video material of our work that we now use both on the site and in campaigns, so the visual side is consistent rather than assembled from whatever we happened to have. Analytics. They set up measurement end to end — tracking on the site, conversion definitions and reporting — so that enquiries, calls and form submissions are recorded properly and we can trace them back to the source that generated them. Paid search. They set up and manage our PPC campaigns, with the account structure, keywords and budgets tied to what the measurement shows rather than to assumptions. Reporting focuses on cost per enquiry and cost per closed job. Ongoing, the collaboration is a regular cycle: they report on what the campaigns are doing, we discuss what it means for capacity in the studio, and they adjust from there.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The clearest outcome is that we now know our numbers. Before this project we were working without any real visibility: we had no measurement in place and no way to tell which enquiries came from where. Today we can see cost per enquiry and cost per closed job, and we make decisions about budget on that basis rather than on a feeling. The site went from nothing to a presence that holds up against anyone in our segment locally, and it is the first thing prospective customers see when they search for this kind of work in our area. Enquiries now come in through a channel we control and can measure, instead of arriving at random. On the campaign side, the value has been in the discipline: budget is shifted towards the services and search terms that actually produce work, and away from those that only produce traffic. That has made the spend more predictable month to month, which matters for a studio of our size where capacity is limited.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was one of the stronger parts of the engagement. Deliverables came in on time and the pace was fast — when something was agreed, it moved, rather than sitting in a queue. Communication was direct and without unnecessary process. We could raise a question or a change and get a straight answer the same day, and adjustments were made without having to escalate or repeat ourselves. That mattered to us — we run a small studio, we don't have a marketing department, and we needed a partner who could work off short, practical input rather than formal briefs. They also kept the work moving without requiring constant attention from our side, which for us is the main measure of whether an external team is working out.

What was your primary form of communication with MAIRA?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was that they think like business people, not like a supplier delivering marketing assets. The conversations were about what a customer is worth to us, what capacity we have, and which services we actually want more of — and the campaigns followed from that. Most agencies we spoke to started from channels and deliverables instead. The second thing was how adaptable they were. They didn't arrive with a fixed process we had to fit into; they worked around how our studio actually runs, and adjusted when our priorities changed. And the pace. Things happened quickly, without long approval cycles, which is unusual for the amount of ground the project covered. Overall it never felt like buying a service from an external agency. They clearly want us to make money and to grow alongside them, and that shows in what they recommend — including the times they've told us not to spend on something.

Are there any areas for improvement or something MAIRA could have done differently?

Nothing significant. If I had to name something, it would be that at the very beginning we had to spend some time explaining how our industry works — what actually distinguishes the services we sell and what a serious customer is looking for. That is normal for a specialised field, and once they had it, they had it. Beyond that, we have no complaints. The work has been done as agreed.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

MAIRA runs performance marketing for Tierra Verde, a natural cosmetics and eco-cleaning e-shop, across the Czech, Slovak and Hungarian markets. MAIRA owns paid acquisition and the data layer behind it — turning a stagnating e-shop into a consistently plan-beating revenue engine. 
Key deliverables:

• Paid media management (CZ/SK/HU) — full-funnel PPC across search, shopping and paid social, with continuous budget and bid optimization against a shared revenue plan.
• Efficiency gains — reduced PPC cost-of-sale (PNO) from 27% to 21–24% while scaling spend, improving profitability of every acquired order. Promotion mechanics — systematized the promo calendar and tested mechanics for maximum revenue impact, including a birthday-discount campaign that set a single-day sales record of 95,004 CZK.
• Performance analytics & alerting — built an automated daily GA4 performance report with a 9-rule alerting system (YoY, same-weekday averages, plan pacing) across both markets, plus YoY reporting — giving the client and team a same-day read on performance and fast reaction to drops.
• Outcomes: e-shop revenue reached 6.23M CZK in April 2026 (+105% YoY), with November 2025 hitting 128% of plan at the year's highest margin — delivered while lowering acquisition cost.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

e-shop revenue reached 6.23M CZK in April 2026 (+105% YoY), with November 2025 hitting 128% of plan at the year's highest margin — delivered while lowering acquisition cost.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management has been a genuine strength of the team. Communication is frequent, structured and transparent. We get a daily performance report with proactive alerts on any drop, plus a regular weekly status, so we always know exactly where we stand without having to ask. 
Delivery on time, campaigns, promo mechanics and reports consistently land on schedule. When we set a plan, they hit it (November even reached 128% of plan). 
Responsiveness — they react fast. If numbers move the wrong way, we hear about it the same day with a recommendation already attached, not a week later in a report. 
Proactive, not just reactive — they don't wait for briefs. They bring ideas, flag risks early, and continuously optimize rather than "set and forget." 
Easy to work with — clear, no-nonsense communication, honest about what works and what doesn't, and they treat our targets as their own. 

Overall, they've felt less like an external vendor and more like an extension of our own team.

What was your primary form of communication with MAIRA?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stands out most is how data- and automation-driven they are. We get an automated daily performance report with smart alerts, so problems surface the same day instead of at the end of the month, that level of visibility is something we hadn't had with previous partners.

 Deep technical expertise — they work fluently with the full Google Marketing Platform stack (Search Ads 360, Display & Video 360, Campaign Manager 360), so they can run and connect enterprise-grade campaigns and measurement that most agencies simply can't handle.

They optimize for profit, not vanity metrics — they scaled our spend while lowering our cost-of-sale (PNO from 27% down to 21–24%), so growth actually improved profitability.

They think beyond just running ads — promo mechanics, timing and testing are all part of the mix, not an afterthought.

They act like owners — they treat our targets as their own and bring proactive ideas rather than waiting for briefs.

The combination of deep platform know-how, hard performance discipline and genuine ownership is what makes them feel unique.

Are there any areas for improvement or something MAIRA could have done differently?

Honestly, not much. The only thing, if they had done a bit more active outreach, they might have found us sooner. We would have started working together earlier and would probably have even better numbers by now.
