Webinar Funnel HQ

StudioHawk internal · updated 4 July 2026

Own AI Search: the $7 webinar funnel

One live 90-minute session a month: the SOURC-E framework plus three Claude skills installed live, hosted by Harry, delivered by StudioHawk. Purpose: a qualified-lead pipeline into StudioHawk and Early Bird. This page is the single source of truth for marketing. Everything below is either built, ready to run, or flagged as a decision.

The System

Funnel map

Based on the operator playbook: topic-tested ads in, qualified leads split two ways, SMS to protect show-up, offer on the close with a 72-hour window.

1 · ADS

Topic test

5 angles, $300 each, IG/FB. Graphic carries the topic phrase.

2 · OPT-IN

Lead form

Name, email, phone + ONE qualifying question per angle.

3 · QUALIFY

Auto-score

SE Ranking lookup on business email domain. Good or bad.

4 · REMIND

SMS + email

T-24h, T-1h, T-10min. Consent captured at opt-in.

5 · EVENT

90-min live

SOURC-E + 3 Claude skills installed. Site graded live.

6 · CLOSE

72h offer

Ticket credit + tailored SOURC-E master plan bonus.

GOOD LEAD → /confirmed

VSL welcome, add-to-calendar, Claude setup instructions, SMS expectations. Fires the Meta CompleteRegistration event (this is what ads optimise on).

BAD LEAD → /thanks

Recording promise + free Hawk Academy course as the nurture path. Deliberately fires NO conversion event so Meta learns from good leads only.

Ready to Run

Topic-testing campaign

Five angles for the same webinar, deliberately spread from cheap-volume to premium-intent (the crypto vs generational wealth principle). Run all five simultaneously as Meta Instant Forms at $300 per angle. Read CPL against the qualifying-answer distribution, not CPL alone. Ad copy below is final: copy-paste as written, no em dashes, Australian English.

1. Is ChatGPT Recommending Your Competitors?

Cheap Volume
Ad graphic textIs ChatGPT Recommending Your Competitors?
Primary textWhen someone asks ChatGPT for a business like yours, it recommends someone. In 90 minutes you'll grade your own site live and see whether AI has any reason to pick you.
Qualifying questionHow long has your business website been live? A) 3+ years B) 1 to 3 years C) Under a year D) I don't have one yet

Expected economics: the cheap anchor of the test. Maximum recognition and click appeal, lowest CPL, widest junk net. The site-age question does all the filtering. If quality holds even here, every angle above it is safe to scale.

2. Agency-Grade SEO Audit, Done Yourself

Mid-Cheap
Ad graphic textAgency-Grade SEO Audit, Done Yourself
Primary textAgencies charge thousands for an SEO audit. In this 90 minute session you install three Claude skills and run one yourself, on your own site, live. You leave with your actual scores.
Qualifying questionAre you currently paying anyone for SEO? A) An agency B) A freelancer or contractor C) Just tools, I do it myself D) Nobody, nothing yet

Expected economics: anti-agency phrasing pulls price-sensitive DIYers so CPL stays low, but "audit" presumes a real site. The prize is answers A and B on the form: warm agency prospects hiding inside save-money creative.

3. How to Actually Use AI for SEO (control: current page angle)

Mid / Control
Ad graphic textHow to Actually Use AI for SEO
Primary textEveryone says you should be using AI for SEO. Almost nobody shows you how. In 90 minutes you'll install three Claude skills and grade your own website live, on the call.
Qualifying questionWhat have you tried so far with AI for your SEO? A) We've built it into our workflow B) I've used ChatGPT a bit C) Nothing yet, I don't know where to start D) I don't have a website yet

Expected economics: pain #1 verbatim from enquiry data (15 mentions). "Actually" filters for doers who tried and stalled. The baseline every other cell is measured against.

4. Samsung Found Us Through ChatGPT

Mid-Premium
Ad graphic textSamsung Found Us Through ChatGPT
Primary textSamsung didn't find StudioHawk through Google or a referral. ChatGPT recommended us. That wasn't luck, it's a framework, and in this session you'll score your own site against it live.
Qualifying questionWhat's your business's annual revenue? A) $1m+ B) $250k to $1m C) Under $250k D) Pre-revenue or side project

Expected economics: enterprise proof story reads as a business result and skews to owners. Compared against angle 1 (same ChatGPT keyword, opposite framing), this cell isolates whether the keyword or the framing drives junk leads.

5. Your Google Ads Cost 57% More

Premium Intent
Ad graphic textYour Google Ads Cost 57% More
Primary textCost per lead on Google Ads is up 57% in three years, and AI Overviews have cut paid clicks by roughly two thirds. If ads are your only channel, that trend line is worth 90 minutes of your time.
Qualifying questionWhat's your current monthly ad spend across Google and Meta? A) $10k+ B) $2k to $10k C) Under $2k D) We don't run paid ads

Expected economics: the generational wealth cell. A cost stat only stops people who pay that cost. Highest CPL, smallest volume, best prospects: anyone answering A or B is close to an ideal StudioHawk lead. Stats are real and cited on the landing page (WordStream; Seer Interactive).

What the test reads out: 1) where cost-per-lead crosses answer quality on the cheap-to-premium axis, which decides whether we buy volume and filter hard, or buy intent. 2) Angles 1 and 4 share the ChatGPT keyword at opposite framings, so comparing their form answers isolates keyword vs framing. 3) Angle 2's qualifier flags people already paying for SEO: warm agency prospects inside DIY creative.
Test mechanics: run the test as FREE Instant Form registrations even though the live funnel may charge $7. At $300 per cell a checkout step strangles the data. The winning angle then gets the paid landing page treatment.
To Build

Lead qualification (SE Ranking auto-score)

Every lead gets scored within minutes of opting in, then routed to the matching thank-you page and list.

StepLogic
1. CaptureMeta Instant Form webhook (direct or via Zapier/Make) delivers name, email, phone, qualifying answer.
2. Domain signalFreemail address (gmail, outlook, yahoo, etc.) = weak signal. Business email = extract domain.
3. Traffic lookupSE Ranking API domain overview on the business domain: estimated organic traffic + keyword count. API key already held (used in HawkOS Lite).
4. ScoreDraft rule: GOOD = business email AND (site resolves with any measurable organic presence) OR qualifying answer in the top tier (e.g. paying an agency, $2k+ ad spend, $1m+ revenue). BAD = freemail AND bottom-tier answer AND no site. Mid cases default to GOOD.
5. RouteGOOD → /confirmed (+ tagged in CRM, SMS list). BAD → /thanks (+ free-course nurture email list). All leads keep getting the recording.
Status: spec only. Needs a small Cloudflare Pages Function + the Meta webhook wired. Ask Claude/dev to build once the ticket-model decision is made, since free opt-in vs $7 checkout changes where the form lives.

One session per month is load-bearing copy: when a session passes, next month's date must be swapped in (four sync points are flagged with TODO(DATES) comments in the source).

Offer Architecture

The 72-hour close

Pitched in the final minutes of the webinar (the page promises "about a minute" of pitch: keep that promise, the pitch is short and the 72-hour window does the work).

ComponentDetail
CreditThe $7 ticket price is credited toward the next-step offer for 72 hours after the live session.
BonusA tailored SOURC-E master plan: we take their scorecard output from the session and build their prioritised fix-first roadmap. This is the DFY artefact the workshop evaluation said buyers actually wanted.
Target offerUNDECIDED. Candidates: the 2-day workshop ($2,490), the $197 in-person session, or a StudioHawk audit/engagement. This decision shapes the webinar's closing script and the follow-up email flow.
Follow-upEmail at T+0 (recording + offer recap), T+48h (case proof), T+68h (window closes tonight). No fake deadlines: the window is real, honour it.
