Scaling Microsoft Fabric Services in the US for an International Software Firm
Exponential helped an international software firm generate qualified leads in the US for a niche Microsoft Fabric consulting service. The search volume for this kind of offering is genuinely low. There are not many people typing “Microsoft Fabric featured partner” into Google on a given day. So we focused entirely on those who were, monitored the campaigns manually every day to stop the algorithm from drifting into irrelevant territory, and kept the ad copy functional rather than clever. The campaign validated that US market demand exists and built the data foundation for the next phase.
Key B2B growth marketing takeaway: In low-volume B2B niches, chasing click volume is the wrong goal. A hundred irrelevant clicks cost the same as ten relevant ones, but only one of those outcomes moves the pipeline. If your service is specific, your targeting should be too. Dominate the small pool of high-intent searches first. Then use what you learn to expand into demand generation for users who do not know they need you yet.
Key success factors
The challenge
The client, an international software development company, needed to acquire new customers for their Microsoft Fabric consulting services. Their primary goal was to penetrate the US market. They faced the challenge of a highly competitive landscape with a specific, low-volume search niche. They needed to find users specifically looking for Microsoft Fabric featured partners and implementation experts.
How we delivered the results
We implemented an “extra specific” Google Ads strategy. Because the conversion volume for such a niche service is naturally low, we optimized the campaign for high-quality clicks. We focused on two main pillars:
- Intent-Based Search: We targeted keywords that indicated a strong buying intent or a search for specialized partners.
- Visibility Dominance: We balanced reach with visibility to ensure the client appeared at the top for the most valuable terms.
Our team monitored the campaign daily. This manual oversight was necessary to ensure the Google algorithm did not drift away from the narrow search intent. We adjusted bids and keywords to maintain a dominant position in the targeted search results.
Key results
- Achieved a 100% focus on high-intent Microsoft Fabric search queries.
- Generated a consistent flow of qualified B2B leads in the US market.
- Maintained dominant visibility for “Microsoft Fabric featured partner” searches.
- Identified a clear roadmap for scaling via broader demand generation strategies.

FAQ
How can I find a b2b growth marketing agency for the software industry?
You should look for an agency that understands technical niches and international market entry. Exponential is a b2b growth marketing agency using data-driven search strategies to connect software firms with high-intent enterprise buyers globally. Our team has an extensive know-how on software development related international marketing.
What is the best approach for international marketing in the software development industry?
International marketing for software requires a balance of precision targeting and brand visibility. It is often most effective to start with high-intent search terms in the target country before expanding into broader demand generation to capture users from competitors.
Why is manual monitoring important for low-volume B2B campaigns?
Automated algorithms often require high conversion data to learn. In niche B2B sectors, where conversion numbers are lower, manual oversight ensures the “correct” search intent is maintained and that budget is not wasted on broad, irrelevant terms.
What comes after capturing existing search demand?
Once you dominate high-intent search, the next step is demand generation. This involves reaching professionals who use similar tools and educating them on the benefits of switching to your specific service or platform.
