Experiments Ready to Ship
Each hypothesis follows the IF/THEN/BECAUSE framework. ICE scores reflect segment-specific evidence.
Experiment Framework
IF we build dedicated Google Ads campaigns around the top 50 won-deal keywords (e.g., "multi-client training platform," "white-label LMS for training companies," "sell courses to corporate clients"), THEN we will increase trial-first signups from B2B training providers by 35% within 8 weeks, BECAUSE 78% of these 447 validated keywords are not currently targeted in paid search, yet they directly mirror the purchase language of our 198 won accounts.
Supporting Evidence
447 won-deal keywords identified 238 "Very Strong" ICP fit Trial-first converts at 2.6x for B2B Only 2% of current paid budget on B2B terms Kajabi: zero B2B keyword presence Thinkific: weak organic, no paid B2BIF we create B2B-specific ad variants on existing competitor conquest keywords (Thinkific, Teachable, Kajabi) that highlight multi-client delivery, SCORM, and seat-based commerce instead of generic "better platform" messaging, THEN we will improve CTR by 20% and conversion rate by 15% on conquest campaigns, BECAUSE Kajabi has zero B2B positioning (displaced in 17 won accounts), Thinkific locks SCORM behind enterprise, and current conquest ads use creator-focused messaging that doesn't resonate with training company buyers.
Supporting Evidence
56% of ~$96K/mo paid spend on conquest Kajabi #1 displaced competitor (17 mentions) Thinkific SCORM = enterprise-only 26 competitor/migration keywords in won cases Top reason: "outgrew previous platform"IF we launch LinkedIn Lead Gen campaigns targeting Heads of Training, L&D Directors, and CEOs at companies with 50-500 employees using the 6 validated buyer triggers (compliance deadline, client growth, platform consolidation, manual process pain, competitive pressure, leadership mandate), THEN we will generate qualified leads at 30% lower CPL than current generic LinkedIn campaigns, BECAUSE paid social generates 43.9% of all leads but only 1.8% of trials, suggesting it works as a lead-first channel, and using trigger-specific messaging will improve relevance for the B2B training buyer who currently sees creator-focused ads.
Supporting Evidence
Paid Social: 43.9% of leads, 1.8% of trials 6 validated buyer triggers from won deals 43 pain/trigger keywords identified Thinkific running generic LinkedIn ads B2B SAL-to-SQL gap: 63% vs 73% generalIF we create a dedicated trial onboarding flow that immediately surfaces multi-client setup, white-labeling, SCORM upload, and seat-based pricing for users who self-identify as training providers during signup, THEN we will increase B2B trial-to-customer conversion from 65.9% to 75%+, BECAUSE the current onboarding is optimized for individual course creators, and the top 4 purchase reasons for B2B (ecommerce/134 rows, consolidation/130, assessments/108, mobile/102) are not front-loaded in the trial experience despite being the decisive features.
Supporting Evidence
B2B trial-to-customer: 65.9% (2x general) Top reasons: ecommerce, consolidation, assessments, mobile 198 won accounts analyzed for feature patterns Trial-first CAC: €400 vs €1,800 lead-firstIF we build dedicated landing pages for the top keyword categories from won deals (multi-client delivery, seat-based commerce, reporting/analytics, assessments/certification, branding/white-label), THEN we will capture organic traffic currently going to competitors and increase paid ad Quality Scores by 2+ points, BECAUSE LearnWorlds has zero landing pages targeting B2B training use cases (current pages target "course creators"), organic positions have collapsed 65% in top-20 rankings, and dedicated landing pages for each category will improve both SEO and paid campaign relevance.
Supporting Evidence
65% organic collapse in top-20 positions 12 keyword categories from 447 won-deal terms No competitor has dedicated B2B training pages Zero current B2B-specific landing pagesIF we create targeted search campaigns around SCORM compliance and certification keywords ("SCORM compliant LMS," "training certification platform," "compliance training software"), THEN we will capture a new high-intent keyword segment with 15%+ trial conversion rate, BECAUSE SCORM and certification are included on all LearnWorlds plans while Thinkific locks SCORM behind enterprise tier, Kajabi has zero SCORM capability, and 34 assessment/certification keywords and 42 reporting keywords appear in won-deal analysis.
Supporting Evidence
34 assessment/certification keywords 42 reporting/analytics keywords Thinkific: SCORM locked to enterprise Kajabi: zero SCORM capability Compliance = time-bound trigger (urgency)IF we build lookalike audiences from the 198 won B2B training accounts (segmented by persona and company size) and run segment-specific ad creative matching their top purchase reasons, THEN we will reduce CAC on social channels by 25% for the B2B segment, BECAUSE won-account lookalikes are a higher-signal seed than generic website visitors, and we can match creative to the 19 validated purchase reason categories (ecommerce, consolidation, assessments, mobile) rather than running generic messaging.
Supporting Evidence
198 won accounts with persona data 19 purchase reason categories mapped 1,252 purchase reason data points B2B segment: 3-6x conversion advantageIF we create B2B-specific comparison pages ("LearnWorlds vs Kajabi for Training Companies," "LearnWorlds vs Thinkific for B2B") that lead with multi-client delivery, SCORM, and seat-based pricing, THEN we will capture 20%+ of the competitor comparison traffic that currently lands on generic comparison pages, BECAUSE Kajabi has no /vs/learnworlds page at all, existing comparison pages focus on creator features, and 26 competitor/migration keywords appear in won-deal analysis showing active platform-switching behavior among B2B buyers.
Supporting Evidence
Kajabi: no /vs/learnworlds page exists 26 competitor/migration keywords Kajabi displaced in 17 won accounts Current vs. pages: creator-focused onlyIF we implement a B2B-specific lead scoring model that weights the 6 buyer triggers (compliance deadline, client growth, consolidation, manual process, competitive pressure, leadership mandate) and top purchase reasons, and create a segment-specific nurture sequence between SAL and SQL stages, THEN we will close the SAL-to-SQL gap from 63.33% to match or exceed the 73.23% general benchmark, BECAUSE this is the only funnel stage where B2B underperforms general, suggesting the current qualification criteria don't capture B2B-specific buying signals.
Supporting Evidence
B2B SAL-to-SQL: 63.33% (only underperforming stage) General SAL-to-SQL: 73.23% 6 validated buyer triggers 19 purchase reason categories for scoring VP Sales created Jan 2026 (alignment opportunity)IF we create a B2B-specific pricing page (or a variant triggered by segment detection) that leads with multi-client ROI, seat-based revenue potential, and enterprise features included in standard plans, THEN we will increase pricing page-to-trial conversion by 20% for B2B visitors, BECAUSE 41 seat-based commerce keywords and 36 business model keywords appear in won deals, the current pricing page is creator-focused ($24-$299 range), and B2B buyers need to see revenue-per-client ROI framing rather than per-month cost framing.
Supporting Evidence
41 seat-based commerce keywords 36 business model keywords Enterprise features on standard plans = pricing advantage 60% self-serve, 40% sales-assisted revenueIF we create structured, fact-rich content pages optimized for AI overview inclusion on B2B training queries ("best LMS for training companies," "platform for selling corporate training"), THEN we will appear in AI overviews for 30%+ of targeted B2B queries within 12 weeks, BECAUSE Panos confirmed AI now brings more customers than traditional search (started showing results 10 days before our meeting), the AI/GEO channel was just split from SEO, and no competitor has optimized for B2B training queries in AI overviews yet.
Supporting Evidence
CEO: "AI brings more customers than search" AI/GEO team split from SEO (10 days old) No competitor optimizing B2B for GEO 51 content/learning keywords for targeting 65% organic collapse = GEO as recovery pathIF we create LinkedIn ad variants that mirror the viewer's job title in the creative (e.g., a Training Manager sees a testimonial from a Training Manager, a CEO sees an ROI-driven case study from a CEO), THEN we will increase ad CTR by 40%+ and reduce cost-per-lead by 25%, BECAUSE the 5 most important buyer titles (Owner/Founder, CEO/MD, Head of Learning, Training Director, Project Manager) have distinct purchasing priorities and respond to role-specific proof points, and LearnWorlds is already running strong B2B LinkedIn ads that could be segmented this way.
Supporting Evidence
5 buyer titles identified from won-deal analysis Each title has distinct purchase priorities (GPT analysis) LearnWorlds already running B2B LinkedIn ads 43.9% of B2B leads come from social channels CEOs evaluate ROI; Training Managers evaluate operationsIF we launch dedicated paid search campaigns on "white label LMS" and its 81 keyword variations (1,700 total monthly volume, $28.08 CPC, 12% keyword difficulty), THEN we will capture 15-25 additional B2B trial signups per month at a competitive CPA, BECAUSE "white label LMS" is the #1 buyer-authentic keyword from won deals (buyers say "white label LMS," not "white label website"), LearnWorlds already ranks on page 3 organically (position ~21-30), competitive density is only 0.11, and no competitor is running paid ads on this term.
Supporting Evidence
"White label" = #1 won-deal feature keyword SEMrush: 720/mo volume, KD 12%, CPC $28.08 Competitive density: 0.11 (near-zero competition) LearnWorlds already ranking page 3 organically Buyers say "white label LMS" — reps say "white label website" No competitor running paid ads on this termIF we launch an employee thought leadership program where individual contributors share learning content tied to their expertise on LinkedIn, THEN we will generate organic brand impressions reaching B2B training decision-makers without additional ad spend, BECAUSE LearnWorlds (195 employees, primarily in Greece) could practice what it preaches by empowering employees to build personal brands alongside their careers — creating a retention advantage while shifting awareness budget toward higher-ROI B2B segments. Solo learning creators discovering LearnWorlds through employee content would enter the trial funnel organically.
Supporting Evidence
195 employees (LinkedIn data), mostly Greece-based Creator segment still funds the business — can't cut awareness LearnWorlds preaches learning — employees doing it = authentic Retention advantage: employees build careers alongside side projects No competitor running employee advocacy at scaleCompetitive Blind Spots

Organic Position Collapse Context
The organic collapse affects generic "online course platform" queries where competition is fierce. B2B training keywords represent an opportunity to build organic presence in an uncontested space while competitors fight over saturated creator terms. Combined with the new AI/GEO channel (confirmed by CEO as now outperforming traditional search), this creates a two-front recovery strategy.
