What they sent.

Do you ever partner with other agencies?— the agency's CEO

That was the whole message: one short line in each site's contact form, signed by the agency's CEO. The lesson Raven is built on: never sound automated.

  • +Ask, don't pitch. One question a person would ask.
  • +Keep it to one line. Short enough to read at a glance.
  • +Sign it like a person. A name and a role, not a team.

One quarter, in numbers.

January to March 2026, from the agency's own lead sheet.** One reply for every 14 forms sent. One sales call for every 102.

Not every site has a form that can be sent. With Raven, you only pay for the ones that were.
