from the data up.

Most inefficiencies are hiding in the data. d2b2 finds them, builds the integrations and automation to fix them, and hands over clean reporting so your team stays proactive long after the engagement ends. Paid marketing is one branch of the work.

What d2b2 does

01 / ENG

AI Solutions Engineering

End-to-end builds using AI tools, Python, and custom integrations — API connections, data pipelines, automation, and reporting systems that make your stack work as one. We don't spec it out for a dev team. We build it.

Paid Marketing Setup & Optimization

Full-funnel paid search and social built on real attribution data, not platform numbers. Account builds, campaign architecture, bidding strategy, and proactive optimization driven by what's actually converting.

Revenue Operations

Pipeline strategy, lead scoring, and sales-marketing handoff automation that close the loop between marketing spend and closed revenue. The strategic layer that makes the data and the stack actually work together.

Work

How the work actually looks

Case 03 Revenue Analytics

True ROAS came in at 0.56. The platform said it was fine.

Growth-stage marketplace
The problem

Paid search performance looked acceptable inside Google Ads. There was no system connecting ad spend to the internal sales database. Platform-modeled conversions and actual closed revenue were two different numbers, and nobody had a way to reconcile them.

The work

Python pipeline connecting the Google Ads API to an internal MySQL database. Monthly reconciliation layer that mapped campaign spend to actual transactions, verified against internal revenue reporting rather than platform conversion values.

True ROAS on the key campaign measured at 0.56. Lead-to-buy rate of 5%+ confirmed strong targeting — the problem was cost per acquisition, not campaign quality. Informed a campaign restructure and bid strategy change.

Case 04 AEO / Custom Integration

Monitoring system for brand presence across five AI search engines

B2B SaaS
The problem

AI search is answering questions that used to send traffic to websites. No tool existed to track how the brand appeared in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews, and Copilot. Traditional rank tracking was completely blind to it.

The work

Direct integration with an early-access answer engine API. A five-surface dashboard comparing citation rates, response quality, and content gaps across engines, with weekly automated reporting built into the existing reporting stack.

Identified which content formats were being cited by AI engines and which were being ignored. Content strategy adjusted based on actual AI response behavior, not assumptions.

Case 05 Data Pipeline / Product

A pitch tool that pulled live market data for every dealer meeting

Automotive marketplace
The problem

A field sales team was pitching dealers with static slides. No way to show a specific dealer what their local market actually looked like — and no reliable internet connection in dealer meetings to pull it dynamically.

The work

Python pipeline against a production MySQL database, geographic modeling using haversine radius and DMA crosswalk to scope market data to each dealer's footprint, and a service-worker microsite that cached the data for full offline use on an iPad.

Sales team could demonstrate live, location-specific market data in a dealer meeting with no internet required. Data updated daily from the production database.

Approach

How every engagement works

01

The Audit

Before building anything, understand what exists. What's working, what's wasting budget, and where the data is broken. Every engagement starts with a structured review of your stack, spend, and reporting so nothing gets rebuilt that didn't need to be.

02

The Stack Build

Tracking, attribution, AI tools, and automation built right the first time. Infrastructure that doesn't break six months later, paid campaigns grounded in verified data, and systems documented as they're built.

03

The Handoff

Everything built gets documented. You leave knowing how it works, how to manage it, and how to extend it. The goal isn't a retainer. It's a business that runs its own marketing stack after the engagement ends.

Most marketing decisions still happen on gut feel and monthly reports that arrive too late to act on. Danny takes a different approach, applying data science thinking to paid growth and revenue operations: reproducible systems, clean attribution, and analysis that gives executives clear answers instead of seasonal guesses.

Every engagement follows the same model. Audit what exists, build what's missing, teach your team how it works, and hand over the keys. The goal isn't a long retainer. It's a business that can run its own marketing stack after the work is done.

The name is a play on the work: D. Byers, databases, data-driven B2B. The focus is on companies where marketing has been reactive and underpowered. The opportunity is making it precise.

Extreme Ownership

Every project gets owned, not managed. If it's blocking and we can fix it — we fix it. We don't route it to a vendor or wait for someone else's sprint cycle.

Simple by Design

No overengineered solutions. Clean processes, clear documentation, and nothing built that creates another problem to solve.
