Lead Generation Services · US & Nigeria

Referrals Cap Your Growth. Build Beyond Them.

I engineer cross-border lead generation systems for businesses operating in the US, Nigeria, or both markets simultaneously, across SEO, website conversion, and CRM automation built for multi-market growth.

John Akande — Los Angeles SEO consultant for service businesses, ecommerce, SaaS and B2B

The Problem

Why Most Lead Generation Efforts Don't Compound.

Referrals are unpredictable. Ads go dark when you stop paying. What compounds instead is infrastructure: a converting website, organic traffic, and automated follow-up.

Most of what I build is US-specific. This service is different: it's for businesses operating across both the US and Nigeria, where keyword behavior, local search signals, and buyer intent differ by market, and a single generic strategy serves neither well.

Why Businesses Struggle

The Four Gaps That Kill Lead Generation.

No organic traffic infrastructure. Your clients are searching right now. If you're not in those results, your competitors are capturing that demand.
Website that doesn't convert. Most businesses convert at 1–2%. The right architecture pushes that to 5–8%: same traffic, 3–4× more leads.
No automated follow-up. Most B2B decisions take 3–7 touchpoints. Automated follow-up recovers 30–40% of leads that would otherwise go cold.
No measurement. Without tracking from search to closed client, you can't see what's working or what's wasted spend.

What I Build

Three Channels. One Engineered System.

Channel 01 · Organic Search

SEO

Technical SEO and content that ranks for what buyers actively search. Unlike ads, it compounds: today's rankings generate leads for years.

Invisible to buyers who are actively searchingCompounding organic leads at zero marginal cost

Channel 02 · Website

Conversion Architecture

Traffic without conversion is wasted. I rebuild messaging, structure, and CTAs around how your buyer actually decides.

Traffic that doesn't convertMore leads from the traffic you already have

Channel 03 · Follow-Up

CRM Automation

Every lead gets tagged, scored, and nurtured automatically until they book, buy, or opt out.

Leads going cold without follow-up30–40% of cold leads recovered into pipeline

The Process

How the System Gets Built.

01

Diagnostic & Strategy

Traffic audit, keyword opportunity mapping, conversion rate baseline, CRM review. You get a prioritised build plan with clear business impact attached to each fix.

02

Foundation Build

Technical SEO, website architecture and messaging overhaul, CTA redesign, lead capture deployment, and CRM integration. The infrastructure that makes everything else work.

03

Authority & Scale

Content published for organic growth, conversion refined from live data, CRM sequences tuned, and monthly reporting tied to lead volume and revenue, not rankings.

04

Compound

As traffic builds and conversion improves simultaneously, leads grow faster than either metric alone. New keyword opportunities, new service pages, broader geographic reach.

About John Akande

50+ Businesses. One System.

I started building websites in 2010 and learned fast: a beautiful site that nobody finds and that doesn't convert isn't an asset, it's an expensive brochure. Over 14 years I've refined the three-channel system I build for every client: SEO for organic traffic, conversion architecture that turns visitors into leads, and CRM automation that follows up until they buy.

The $2M in attributed revenue is the sum of tracked, attributed revenue from organic and website-led channels across 50+ client engagements, in the US and Nigeria alike. Every number is tied to a real business.

Not All Lead Sources Are Equal

Your Lead Sources vs. a Built System.

Weakest

Referrals & Word-of-Mouth

Unpredictable volume, entirely depends on others
No visibility into when or if the next one comes
Ceiling determined by your network size
Can't be optimised or scaled
Dries up when your network goes quiet

Middle Ground

Paid Ads (Google, Meta)

Predictable while you keep spending
Stops immediately when budget runs out
Cost per lead increases over time
High volume possible, low intent leads
Depends entirely on platform algorithm

Strongest

Engineered Lead Generation System

Compounds, more leads for the same cost over time
Continues working without ongoing ad spend
Highest-intent leads (active search + conversion architecture)
Fully measurable and optimisable
Gets cheaper per lead as authority builds

Lead Generation Questions, Answered Honestly.

It's the combination of three things working together: (1) organic traffic from SEO, getting found by buyers who are actively searching for your service; (2) conversion architecture, making your website compelling enough that visitors actually inquire; (3) CRM automation, following up with every lead automatically so none fall through the cracks. Most businesses have one of these. Almost none have all three, aligned. That alignment is the difference between occasional leads and a consistent pipeline.
Paid ads are a traffic source, they send visitors to your website while you keep paying. When you stop, the traffic stops. Engineered lead generation builds infrastructure that compounds: organic search rankings, conversion systems, and automated follow-up that keep working whether or not you're actively spending. The goal is to make your business less dependent on paid media, not to run more of it.
Yes. I've built lead generation systems for businesses in both markets. The approach differs: Nigerian SEO requires geo-targeted keyword strategy, Nigeria-specific local search signals, and understanding of how Nigerian buyers search (different from US buyer intent signals). For cross-border businesses, I build market-specific landing pages, keyword architecture, and CRM sequences for each geography.
It depends on your market, location, competition, and starting point. For a mid-size service business in a major US metro, a reasonable 12-month target is 20–60 qualified inbound leads per month from organic. Nigerian markets vary significantly by industry. Before any engagement, I build a specific projection from your actual keyword data, estimated traffic, and realistic conversion rate ranges, so you know exactly what you're building toward.
The foundation is operational within 30–60 days: website fixes, CRM setup, lead capture launch. The SEO layer builds over 3–9 months as content and authority compound. Lead volume grows fastest between months 4–12 as organic visibility and conversion rate improvements stack on each other. The result is a system that generates more leads per month, at lower cost per lead, as time goes on.
Lead generation packages start at $2,500/month for a 6-month engagement covering the three-layer system, SEO, conversion, and CRM. See our Local Growth Booster and Enterprise Growth Engine packages for full pricing and deliverables. Every engagement includes a free audit and a specific revenue projection before you commit.
Most SEO agencies sell traffic metrics. Rankings, sessions, impressions, none of which directly tell you if you made money. I measure success in lead volume and attributed revenue. If you're generating more qualified inquiries per month at a lower cost per lead, the system is working. If you're not, we diagnose why and fix it. No vanity metrics. No monthly reports that don't connect to your bottom line.
