New territory added
The Tyler Effect. Q1 added a brand-new territory — Tyler, TX — with zero Q4 baseline. Tyler generated $72,830 in revenue on $7,380 in spend within its first 5–6 weeks. Launching a new territory means higher early CPL and spend that compresses blended ROI. Tyler's presence is additive context, not a signal of weakness.
Pipeline timing, not pipeline failure. Revenue doesn't always close the month it's generated. The $116K decline from Q4 to Q1 should be read alongside pipeline value — the full-funnel data shows 45 deals closed on 591 contacts, with strong late-quarter momentum in March.

Itasca: volume up, CPL down, revenue lagging. Account consolidation drove lead volume to 3,368 — a 4× increase — while cutting CPL from $20.97 to $12.89. Reported revenue reflects a pipeline timing effect. Many Q1 leads are still closing.

Liberty Hill: CPL pressure and a late-quarter ramp. CPL increased 61% as spend doubled. Revenue declined. Context: March spend was just scaling — pipeline value hadn't attributed yet. The market remains valid.

Tyler was not an active territory in Q4 2025

Q1 2026 — Tyler (Launch)
Ad Spend$7,380
Leads275

Revenue$72,830
ROI887%
Tyler: exceptional ROI in a first-run launch. 887% ROI on a brand-new territory in 5–6 weeks. CPL of $32.46 is expected for a market with no existing brand awareness. This validates the expansion model.

Itasca CPL dropped 38.5% — from $20.97 to $12.89. Lead volume grew 4×. The efficiency gain is real and repeatable.
Liberty Hill CPL pressure warrants a closer look in Q2. The 61% increase may reflect audience fatigue or a scaling mismatch.
Tyler's $32.46 CPL is high but its 887% ROI tells the real story. The economics justify continued investment.

What this means for the sales team. A contact from January may not close until April. The 7.6% close rate on 591 contacts means roughly 500 people who engaged with QSB in Q1 are still somewhere in the sales process. A disciplined follow-up sequence captures value that analytics tools never report.

Context

What the numbers don't show

Account Consolidation

The Itasca account consolidation created a reporting break. Leads and revenue in Itasca are undercounted in Q1 — the 3,368 leads and $168,640 in revenue are floor figures, not ceiling.

Attribution Gap

CRM-tracked revenue ($374,575) and ad-platform revenue ($821,549) measure different things. The ad platform uses last-touch attribution with a 28-day click window. Multi-touch paths are invisible to both systems individually.

Liberty Hill March Ramp

Liberty Hill's Q1 numbers look soft, but the spend increase happened primarily in February and March. Revenue from March leads typically closes in April or May. The market is not stalling — it's just beginning.

Tyler — Proof of Concept

Tyler was treated as an experiment. 887% ROI in weeks 1–6 is not what experiments usually return. The data makes a case for accelerating Tyler's budget in Q2.
