What we do

Marketing automations that connect every tool you own.

CRM builds, lead alerts, dashboards and integrations done end-to-end. We replace the manual spreadsheet chasing and missed follow-ups with a single connected system your sales and marketing teams actually trust.

01

CRM Builds

HubSpot, GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, Pipedrive or fully custom. Pipelines, stages, custom properties and deal flow built around how you actually sell.

02

Real-Time Lead Alerts

Email and SMS notifications the second a hot lead lands. Routed to the right rep with full context, so you call back in minutes, not hours.

03

Sales & Marketing Dashboards

Pipeline, conversion, attribution and rep performance in one screen. Live data your team actually uses, not month-end PDFs.

04

Lead Scoring & Routing

Behavioural and demographic scoring so the hottest leads jump the queue. Auto-assignment to the right rep, every time.

05

Nurture & Re-Engagement Flows

Welcome series, post-demo nurtures, win-back and dormant-lead reactivation. Flows that keep working while you focus on closing.

06

Integrations & Workflows

Zapier, Make, n8n and native API integrations. Forms, ads, calendars, billing and CRM connected so data flows where it needs to, automatically.

How it works

From audit to a connected revenue system in four phases.

A clear, transparent process so you always know what we're working on and why.

01
Audit & map
We map every tool, form, lead source and handoff in your current stack. The bottlenecks, blind spots and missed follow-ups all surface so we know exactly what to fix first.
02
Design the system
CRM architecture, pipeline stages, scoring rules, alert routing and dashboard layouts, all blueprinted before a line of automation is built. You sign off on the design before we touch a single tool.
03
Build & integrate
CRM configured, automations built, dashboards live, alerts firing. Forms, ads, calendar and billing all connected. We test every flow end-to-end with real lead data before go-live.
04
Train & optimise
Loom walkthroughs and live training for sales and marketing. Monthly tuning of scoring, routing and alerts based on real conversion data so the system gets smarter every month.

We've been working with Craig at Starling Digital across a few areas of the business, website maintenance and updates, Meta ads, and LinkedIn outreach, and the support has been excellent throughout. He's responsive, proactive, and clearly takes the time to understand what we're trying to achieve. The website runs smoothly, the ads are well managed, and the outreach has opened up genuine conversations for us. Couldn't recommend Starling Digital more highly.

Starling Digital have been great to work with. Craig and the team look after our email marketing, social content, Meta ads and Google ads amongst other things. They are extremely knowledgeable in their field and always very responsive to any request. Highly recommend them to any business especially those who may not have much experience in marketing themselves and don’t know where to start!

We’ve had a really positive experience working with Starling. Their Google Ads and Meta Ads management has made a clear difference for Bayt, and we’ve seen strong growth in lead enquiries since getting started. They’re proactive, easy to work with and bring a real depth of expertise to what they do.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I brought Craig from Starling Digital in to support one of my clients, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From day one, Craig showed a strong understanding of web design, Google Ads, and SEO, and quickly got to grips with the client’s business needs. He delivered a high-quality website that looks great and performs really well, while also improving the client’s lead generation through effective Google Ads management. The SEO work has also made a noticeable difference in their online visibility. Craig was professional, easy to work with, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, which made my job a lot easier too. I’d have no hesitation recommending Craig and Starling Digital to anyone looking for reliable, results-driven digital marketing support. Thanks a Million Craig! Wendy

We’re really glad we took the leap and hired Starling, the Google Ads are now bringing in consistent, high quality enquiries. It’s been a noticeable step up from where we were before.

+ What we ask of you
  • Admin access to your CRM, ad accounts, forms and any tools we're connecting.

  • A decision-maker who can sign off scoring rules and routing logic inside a week.
  • Honesty about what's working and what isn't (we'll do the same).
  • A team willing to actually use the new system, not work around it in spreadsheets.
FAQ

Common questions.

Marketing automation is the connected system that runs your entire revenue engine: CRM, lead capture, scoring, routing, alerts, nurture flows, dashboards and integrations between every tool you use. Email marketing is one channel inside that system. Done well, marketing automation removes manual handoffs between sales and marketing, so leads are scored, routed and followed up automatically while your team focuses on closing.
A standard CRM rebuild plus core automations (lead capture, scoring, real-time alerts, sales and marketing dashboards) takes 4–6 weeks from kickoff to go-live. More complex builds with custom integrations, multi-team routing or migration from a legacy system run 8–12 weeks. We share a week-by-week plan in the first call so you always know what's coming next and what we need from you.
HubSpot, GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zoho, Klaviyo, Airtable and fully custom CRMs. For automation glue we use Zapier, Make and n8n, plus native APIs and webhooks where it's cleaner. If you're already on a platform we'll meet you there. If you're not, we'll recommend the best fit for your team size, budget and complexity, and we're honest if a cheaper tool will do the job.
Lead scoring assigns points based on behaviour (page views, time on site, content downloads, demo bookings, email engagement) and demographic fit (job title, company size, industry, location). Once a lead crosses your threshold they're flagged as Sales-Qualified and routed automatically. We tune the scoring monthly using real conversion data so the model gets sharper at predicting buyers, not just curious browsers.
Yes. We set up instant alerts via SMS, email and Slack (whichever channels your team actually checks) the second a lead crosses your scoring threshold. Each alert carries the full lead context: name, company, source, activity history, score and a one-tap call or reply link. The result is response times measured in minutes instead of hours, which is the single biggest predictor of whether a lead converts.
Pipeline value and velocity, deal-stage conversion, MQL-to-SQL ratio, lead source ROI, channel attribution, rep performance, average response time, lost-reason analysis and revenue forecasts. Dashboards live where your team already works (HubSpot, Looker Studio, Metabase or a lightweight web dashboard) and refresh in real time, so nobody waits for a month-end PDF.
We use a mix of native integrations (HubSpot to Meta Ads, Stripe to your CRM), no-code platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n) and direct API/webhook builds where it's cleaner or cheaper at scale. The goal is two-way sync: a lead from a Meta form arrives in the CRM with full ad-source data, a Calendly booking creates a deal at the right stage, a Stripe payment closes the deal automatically. No manual exports, no copy-paste.
Three angles. First, hard metrics: average lead response time, MQL-to-SQL conversion rate, win rate and pipeline value before vs. after rollout. Second, time saved: hours your team no longer spends on manual data entry, lead chasing and reporting (typically 10–20 hours per rep per week). Third, revenue protected: leads that previously went cold because nobody followed up in time, now closed. We baseline everything on day one so the lift is provable.
That's most engagements. We start with an audit of what you have (pipeline structure, automations, integrations, data hygiene, user adoption) and rebuild only what's actually broken, leaving anything that already works alone. Most teams already pay for HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce but use about 20% of it. We get you to 80% without forcing a re-migration.
Both. Fixed-fee CRM builds and automation projects typically run 4–12 weeks with a clear scope and deliverables. Many clients then move onto a monthly retainer to keep tuning scoring rules, alert routing and dashboards, and to add new automations as the business changes. You can also buy the build only if you have an in-house ops team to maintain it.
