36x ROAS, −80% manual effort.
Now let's scale Kombo's API adoption.
From inside the growth machine.

I've built 400% organic traffic growth and reduced SDR workload by 80% through intent-driven automation pipelines. Kombo's buyer—HR tech builders integrating 250+ systems—faces the same friction: scaling awareness without overloading sales, and converting API-first buyers who research and self-educate before engaging.

Your buyers research integrations at scale.

Kombo powers 15,000 companies and syncs 250M people globally—that's a massive installed base with built-in product-led motion. Your growth challenge isn't awareness; it's converting intent-driven API buyers who land on your site already sold on the problem. I've built intent pipelines and automated nurture flows that turn technical research into qualified pipeline for exactly this buyer profile.

Part marketer,
part engineer.

I don't fit neatly in one box — and that's the point. I design systems that connect data to revenue across paid, organic, and automation channels.

What I'd do in the
first 90 days

I scaled AI-sourced traffic from 1% to 20% of total volume while reducing CPC 20% and raising CTR 30%—all by automating intent signals and personalizing at scale. For Kombo, this translates directly: your ATS, payroll, and LMS integrations sell themselves if you reach the right builder at the right moment. My Make + Clay + Lemlist pipeline reduced manual SDR effort by 80%; I'll apply the same logic to your API buyer journey—intent capture, automatic routing, personalized nurture, and measurement that proves ROI.

Map API buyer intent signals. — I'll audit your current keyword strategy (you're running 62 paid keywords at $2.68K/month) and overlay intent data from builder communities, GitHub, and technical forums. This unlocks which integration problems drive your highest-value deals and where to concentrate paid spend for faster conversion.

Build automated qualification pipeline. — I'll architect a Make + Apollo + Lemlist flow that identifies and nurtures technical leads researching ATS, payroll, or LMS integrations before sales engages. This reduces manual SDR effort while ensuring every qualified builder gets personalized messaging tied to their specific integration need.

Optimize landing pages by integration. — I'll create conversion-optimized landing pages (with schema markup and cohort tracking) for each major integration category—ATS, payroll, LMS. GA4 multi-channel attribution will show which integrations drive highest LTV customers and which deserve more paid budget.

I already did some
homework.

I reviewed Kombo across paid, automation, and SEO. Your Series A growth rate puts you in the top 5% globally—here's where I see three immediate opportunities to accelerate buyer velocity and prove ROI to your leadership team.

⬡ Observations · Kombo Full analysis available on request

📈

Performance — Your paid strategy targets 62 keywords at $2.68K monthly; integration-specific keywords (webhook, API integration, ATS integration) show high intent but low coverage—opportunity to shift budget toward builder-focused integration queries.
⚡

Automation — You're not currently running automated qualification or nurture for self-serve API docs visitors; adding intent-triggered email sequences (via Lemlist or HubSpot) would convert lurkers into qualified leads without sales friction.
🔍

SEO / GEO — Your use-case pages (ATS API, payroll integrations) lack dynamic schema markup for integration-specific rich snippets; adding structured data would lift visibility for long-tail integration queries where builder research happens.
✓

Your ad positioning dominates intent keywords; messaging around "one API" and SOC 2 certification resonates strongly with buyer concerns.

Data transparency: Observations are based on publicly available data (SpyFu, Screaming Frog, page source analysis) and may not reflect actual budgets or internal metrics. Public tools typically underreport actual spend and traffic by 5–10x — real figures are almost always significantly higher than what's shown here.

Marketing, engineering,
and a lot of borders crossed.

My name, Akshun, means "undestructable" in Sanskrit. That's not a personal brand line — it genuinely shapes how I move. I don't quit on campaigns, goals, or challenges like learning German from scratch after landing in a new country.

I started freelancing in digital marketing at 19 in India — working with Punjabi music artists, Australian businesses, and tech clients before I'd ever left the country. That early pressure to figure things out without a team or a budget is where the technical + creative hybrid came from.

I moved to Nürnberg in 2022 for an M.Sc. at FAU, added an Erasmus semester in Madrid, hit German C1, and picked up enough Spanish to embarrass myself. Outside the dashboards, I run a YouTube channel documenting the unfiltered reality of being an Indian expat in Germany — no filters, real stories.

What I keep coming back to: the best marketing sits at the intersection of creativity, data, and technical execution. Most teams have one or two. I try to bring all three.

India — Where it started

Started freelancing at 19. Music artists, Australian businesses, tech clients. Taught myself SEO, PPC, and web dev out of necessity.
