Scoring criteria: Hot — senior digital leader (CIO/CDO/CTO/Director/Web Manager) at a state, large-municipality, or contract-vehicle target, with real engagement (eBook download or 3+ page views or 2+ conversions). Warm — government vertical or adjacent partner ecosystem (Drupal/CMS/digital ecosystem) plus one of: senior title, 3+ page views, eBook download, or contact form submission. Cold — converted but below the thresholds above (single newsletter signup, single page view, baseline activity).
Warm Matthew Sustaita View in Insight Engine ↗
Region One Education Service Center
Title not provided
Other / Direct 37 page views 2 conversions
Converted On
Multiple form submissions across the week (May 15–21)
Assessment
  • Region One ESC is a Texas regional education service center serving K-12 districts — adjacent to but outside the primary state-government target.
  • High engagement profile: 37 page views and 2 conversions in one week signals meaningful interest in the content.
  • Public-sector buyer with similar governance and accessibility pain points to state agencies — could be a fit for the ecosystem messaging.
  • Title was not captured at form submission, which limits seniority and decision-authority signal.
  • Worth a light qualification touch to learn role and scope before further investment.

Pantheon
Principal UX Engineer
Other / Direct 3 page views 1 conversion
Converted On
One form submission during the week
Assessment
  • Pantheon is a known Drupal hosting partner in Lullabot's broader ecosystem — strategic relevance is high even if direct buyer fit is low.
  • Principal UX Engineer is a senior technical role; aligns with the UX-leaders-in-government persona expansion noted earlier in the program.
  • Engagement is modest (3 page views, 1 conversion) — interest is there but not deep yet.
  • Partnership / referral context likely more relevant than direct-sale path here.

Automattic, Inc.
Title not provided
Direct 11 page views 1 conversion
Converted On
One form submission during the week
Assessment
  • Automattic is the company behind WordPress.com — an adjacent CMS partner in Lullabot's platform-agnostic positioning.
  • Solid engagement (11 page views) indicates real content interest beyond a casual visit.
  • Title not captured — seniority and buying authority unclear without enrichment.
  • Likely partnership/ecosystem context rather than direct buyer; worth identifying who they are before further outreach.
Company not provided
Software Developer
LinkedIn 3 page views 1 conversion
Converted On
One form submission during the week
Assessment
  • Personal Gmail address and missing company — limited signal on organizational fit.
  • Software Developer title is outside the target persona set (digital leaders and decision-makers).
  • Came in via LinkedIn — worth monitoring but no clear qualification pathway at this time.

Monthly Budget Pacing
Combined daily caps: $15/day on Google Branded Search + $50/day on the new LinkedIn Document Ad. Month-to-date spend through May 21: $681 ($318 Google, $362 LinkedIn). At current pace, the full month is projected to land within the ~$1,500–$2,000 baseline allocation. The new LinkedIn Document Ad (LB-011) launched May 20, so its full monthly impact will land in June.

Lullabot | Search | Branded Google Ads $125.09 29 25.00% $4.31 0 $15.00 Active

Keeping State Govt Websites Consistent & Accessible LinkedIn Ads $52.09 4 0.28% $13.02 0 Paused
The Google Branded Search campaign continues to deliver strong CTR (25%) at an efficient $4.31 CPC — typical for branded queries. On LinkedIn, the prior campaign was paused on May 20 in favor of the new Digital Modernization Playbook document ad, which went live the same day. With only ~36 hours of in-flight data during the report window, the new LinkedIn campaign's performance will become meaningful next week. Zero conversions this week is a soft signal — the prior week recorded 1 LinkedIn conversion, and the new ad's lead-gen mechanics need a full cycle to assess.
No email campaigns were sent during this period. The most recent send was the May Newsletter (LB-NL526) on May 5, 2026. The next scheduled send is the June Newsletter (LB-NL626), with full open/click metrics for the May newsletter to be included in the next monthly report.
Note: real-time email performance metrics from Act-On were temporarily unavailable at the time of report generation. Historical send data is included for cadence context.
Externally visible milestones across the current month and the next two — sends, publishes, ad launches, and client actions. Items shown in June and July are based on current planning and will firm up as campaigns progress.
