20% panel weight

Results-first marketing lead

Owns a number and buys outcomes. Wants case studies with metrics and timeframes — channels, spend, and what moved. Vibes, awards, and adjectives without evidence read as a red flag.

18% panel weight

Burned-before skeptic

A previous agency burned their budget with little to show. Scrutinizes process transparency, reporting cadence, who actually does the work, and how easy it is to leave.

18% panel weight

Budget-conscious SMB owner

Comparing this agency against a freelancer or doing it in-house. Needs price signals, scope clarity, and minimum engagement terms before spending a call on it.

16% panel weight

Referral-led corporate buyer

Arrived via a recommendation and is verifying: client roster, logos, team depth, longevity, and whether the work shown matches their industry and size.

14% panel weight

Deadline-driven launcher

Has a campaign or launch date and needs capacity now. Scans for speed, availability, responsiveness signals, and proof the agency ships on time.

14% panel weight

In-house / DIY evaluator

Believes their team plus modern tools could do most of this. Needs the page to make the why-outsource case concretely — specialist skill, speed, or results they can't replicate.

Can I switch lanes?

Yes. In the product flow, the lane is suggested from the page and then confirmed or changed before the scored run starts.
