Expert Reviews

Growth Experts on Smarter
Customer Acquisition

"If you're not tracking the full journey from click to product usage, you're not doing growth — you're just doing ads."

Andrew Capland
Founder, Delivering Value

"The biggest leak in most SaaS funnels? Visitors who were interested… but never signed up. Fixing that is worth more than any new ad spend."

Elena Verna
Growth Advisor, Miro & MongoDB

"Acquisition is not just getting traffic. It's earning intent — and converting it. That starts with connecting your marketing to what happens post-click."

Brian Balfour
CEO, Reforge

"Good marketers optimize clicks. Great growth teams optimize the entire journey to value."

Hila Qu
ex-Growth at GitLab & Acorns

"If your signup rate is under 2%, the problem isn’t your CAC — it’s your leaks. Fix them before pouring in more leads."

Casey Winters
CPO at Eventbrite

"The most underrated growth lever is knowing exactly when a visitor becomes a user — and acting when they don’t."

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s an acquisition leak, and why should SaaS teams care?

An acquisition leak happens when you're attracting traffic that doesn't convert—burning CAC on visitors who bounce, don’t sign up, or aren’t ICP. It's an invisible spend with zero return.

2. How does ThriveStack help identify acquisition leaks?

ThriveStack connects campaign, landing page, and product data to show where drop-offs happen—so you can stop wasting budget on traffic that doesn’t convert or stick.

3. Can ThriveStack show which channels bring high-intent users?

Yes. ThriveStack links acquisition sources to activation and retention outcomes—so you know which campaigns drive qualified, long-term users, not just traffic spikes.

4. How is this better than using GA4 or HubSpot alone?

GA4 and HubSpot show surface metrics. ThriveStack goes deeper—tying acquisition to downstream behavior, so you can see real ROI and fix poor attribution across tools.

5. Will I need engineering to track acquisition insights with ThriveStack?

No heavy lift needed. ThriveStack offers no-code integrations and auto-detects UTMs, source tags, and campaign performance—making setup fast and founder-friendly.
