Last updated: December 3, 2025

Our team compiled data from 14 unique sources to estimate ChatGPT’s usage as of December 2025. Because each source had a different methodology for calculating usage, our model used a weighted average of all sources, with the weights based on the source’s longevity, credibility, and reputed accuracy. Further, we applied our model to the trailing 12 months to create a picture of the last year’s ChatGPT usage trend.

Executive Interview Series: Slava Kravchuk on the Future of B2B eCommerce and Why Platform Choice Still Matters

2025-12-03 05:13:27

We recently sat down with Slava Kravchuk, Founder and CEO of Atwix, our #1 choice in strategic eCommerce development companies. We discussed the evolving landscape of B2B eCommerce and what businesses need to succeed in 2026 and beyond, asking Slava to share insights he’s gleaned from Atwix’s over 15 years of experience serving manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers in a variety of complex B2B eCommerce niches.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: You founded Atwix in 2006, nearly two decades ago. How has B2B eCommerce evolved since then, and what surprises you most about where we are today?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Slava Kravchuk: The pace of change has been staggering. When we started, most B2B companies didn’t even have websites, let alone eCommerce capabilities. The idea of a manufacturer taking orders online was considered radical. The global B2B eCommerce market reached $32.1 trillion in 2025 – proof that digital-first commerce is no longer optional for B2B businesses, it’s essential..

What surprises me most is how COVID-19 accelerated a decade of digital transformation into just a few quarters. We saw manufacturers and distributors who had been hesitant about eCommerce suddenly launching B2B portals in 8 weeks, like we did with Byrne Electrical during the pandemic. The crisis forced businesses to adapt or die, and many discovered that digital commerce wasn’t just a survival mechanism, it was a growth engine.

Atwix is a strategic eCommerce partner for over 15 years, guiding clients from initial strategy to their vision. What we’ve learned is that the businesses thriving today are those who didn’t just digitize their catalogs – they reimagined their entire customer experience.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: There’s been a lot of debate about platform choice lately; Magento, Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, Shopware, custom builds. As someone who’s worked across all these platforms, how should B2B companies think about this decision?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Kravchuk: Platform choice is critical, but it’s not about picking the “best” platform, it’s about picking the right platform for your specific business needs. That’s why Atwix is platform agnostic. We’re certified across Adobe Commerce, Magento, Shopify Plus, Shopware, and BigCommerce because different businesses have different requirements.

For complex B2B operations, manufacturers with custom pricing tiers, distributors managing multi-company accounts, wholesalers with intricate ERP integrations; Adobe Commerce (Magento) or Shopware is often the best fit. Their open architecture and robust B2B modules handle complexity out of the box. We’ve contributed over 300 core improvements to Magento since 2018 and have been the number one code contributing agency overall, we’re also the most certified Shopware partner in the US, so we know both of those platforms inside and out.

But for businesses prioritizing speed to market and simplicity, Shopify Plus can be excellent.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: You mentioned ERP integration. Why is this such a critical piece of the B2B eCommerce puzzle?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Kravchuk: Because B2B commerce doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Your eCommerce platform needs to talk to your ERP system in real time – inventory levels, pricing, customer credit terms, order status. Without seamless integration, you’re manually updating data, which leads to errors, delays, and frustrated customers.

The challenge is that every ERP system is different. We’ve integrated with everything from SAP and NetSuite to Infor and Epicor. Each requires individual architecture to meet custom business processes and careful planning. However, Atwix’s proprietary and proven middleware called Sirius is capable of connecting ERPs and any third-party systems to the eCommerce frontend and customer portal seamlessly. The results are transformative. Customers can see real time inventory, place orders with confidence, track shipments and even see their past offline orders and pay invoices online – all without picking up the phone.

This is where having an experienced partner matters. We’ve done this 250+ times, so we know the pitfalls and how to avoid them. A poorly executed ERP integration can sink an entire eCommerce project.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: Many B2B companies struggle with the question: “Do we build custom or use a platform?” What’s your advice?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Kravchuk: Start with a platform. Always. The days of building eCommerce from scratch are largely over unless you have very unique requirements and a massive budget. Modern platforms like Magento, Shopify Plus, and Shopware offer 80 to 90% of what most B2B businesses need out of the box.

The real question is: how do you customize that remaining 10 to 20% without creating technical debt? This is where open architecture of platforms like Shopware or Magento/Adobe Commerce shines. You can extend functionality without hacking the core, which means smoother upgrades and lower long term costs.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: You’ve talked about being a “strategic partner” rather than just a development agency. What does that mean in practice?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Kravchuk: It means we don’t just take orders and write code. Before we touch a single line of code, we sit down with clients and map out their three year vision. Where do you want your customer experience to be? What business outcomes are you trying to achieve? How will your operations need to scale?

This strategic approach prevents costly rebuilds. We’ve seen too many businesses launch an eCommerce site, realize it doesn’t support their growth, and have to start over two years later. That’s expensive and disruptive.

With Byrne Electrical, for example, we deployed their B2B portal in 8 weeks during the pandemic and have been evolving their eCommerce, based on the same Magento foundation for the last 5 years. But that speed was only possible because we took time upfront to understand their phased rollout strategy, their integration requirements, and their long term goals. We built for where they were going, not just where they were.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, what should B2B eCommerce companies be preparing for?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Kravchuk: Three things: AI, integrated experiences, and personalization.
AI is already transforming how B2B buyers discover products, get support, and place orders. We’re seeing AI powered search, predictive ordering based on purchase history, and chatbots that actually understand complex B2B queries. The businesses that embrace AI early will have a significant competitive advantage.

Integrated experience is no longer optional. Especially in B2B buyers would like to have a unified portal where they can discover products, get support, see past orders, pay invoices and complete most of the touchpoints online that they used to do via other channels.

Finally, personalization. B2B buyers now expect the same personalized experiences they get as consumers. Customer specific pricing, tailored product recommendations, customized catalogs – these aren’t nice to haves anymore. They’re table stakes.

The good news? The technology to deliver all this exists today. The question is whether businesses will invest in it before their competitors do.

Fps Logo Only Icon

First Page Sage: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to a B2B company considering a digital transformation project right now?

Mmfl Slava Kravchuk

Kravchuk: Don’t wait for the perfect plan. Start with an MVP (minimum viable product) and iterate. The businesses that succeed are the ones that launch, learn, and improve continuously.

Byrne Electrical called their approach “mvp” with a lowercase “m”, they launched with core functionality and expanded from there. That pragmatism got them to market quickly and allowed them to gather real customer feedback to guide future development.

And choose your partner carefully. You’re not just buying software, you’re entering a long term relationship. Look for a partner with deep expertise in your industry, a track record of successful implementations, and the ability to think strategically, not just tactically. We have sites we built a decade ago that are still thriving because we built them to evolve, not to be replaced.

The future belongs to B2B companies that embrace digital commerce not as a project, but as an ongoing journey. And the best time to start that journey is now.

Average Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) By Industry: B2B Edition

2025-11-22 03:36:24

Last updated: November 21, 2025

When people ask me how to evaluate the ROI of their marketing campaigns, I tell them to start with their customer acquisition cost (CAC). That metric, along with your Customer Lifetime Value (Customer LTV, or sometimes abbreviated CLV) are your best friends in the world of B2B marketing.

By itself, your CAC tells you two things: (1) Which channels to invest more and less in; and (2) your marketing department’s strengths and weaknesses. The latter can be ascertained by comparing your CACs against industry benchmarks. 

The purpose of this article is to help you understand what a good CAC looks like within your industry. It may even be helpful to compare your CAC to adjacent industries to see if you’re within the broader range of other B2B businesses.

Calculating Your Customer Acquisition Cost

The simplest way to calculate your CAC is to divide your total marketing and sales spend by your total number of new customers, as shown in the formula below:

Cac Equation 2 1 1024x152 (1)

This calculation should be made on an annual or rolling annual basis, to account for any seasonal fluctuations in customer behavior. B2B businesses with consistent sales throughout the year may also choose to analyze their CACs quarterly to better evaluate the impact of new marketing or sales initiatives.

In addition to calculating your overall CAC, you may also calculate CACs on a channel by channel basis. This allows you to better compare the performance of disparate marketing channels against each other.

This report focuses on B2B CACs. For B2C CAC benchmarks, see our report Average Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) by Industry: B2C Edition

Once you’ve calculated your CACs, you can then compare them to the below industry benchmarks.

Average Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) By Industry

The table below shares the average CACs in 29 B2B industries, gathered from clients we worked with between January 2022 and August 2025. The limitations of our dataset are as follows:

  • Within each industry, we share two types of CAC: Organic and Inorganic. Organic CACs consist primarily of SEO and Organic Social. Inorganic CACs comprise primarily PPC / SEM and Paid Social.
  • The below analysis does not include CACs for email marketing, in-person events, direct mail, outdoor advertising or other forms of lead generation due to insufficient data.
  • All data comes from client analytics accounts, sourced anonymously. Note that our data on Organic CAC is weighted more heavily towards SEO because we are an SEO company; and our data on Inorganic CAC is weighted more heavily towards PPC / SEM than Paid Social, as our clients are primarily B2B. Likewise, the combined Average CAC is weighted 75% organic and 25% inorganic, reflecting our firm’s marketing services.

The results of our analysis are shared below:

Industry Organic CAC Inorganic CAC Combined Average CAC Notes
Aerospace & Defense $526 $918 $624 Aerospace is an industry with relatively few major players, making ABM significantly more effective than in other industries.
Automotive $491 $893 $592 Automotive industry CACs tend to be lowest from long term campaigns of any kind, with SEO and email campaigns performing best for e-commerce sites and brand advertising performing surprisingly well for auto part and dealership businesses.
Aviation $588 $967 $683 Paid and organic Google marketing, as well as social marketing, produce the best CACs for flight training schools and charter businesses. 
B2B SaaS $205 $341 $239 Offering free trials or using a freemium model leads to higher B2B SaaS conversions, driving down CACs when compared to most other B2B industries.
Biotech $532 $855 $613 Conferences & exhibitions, LinkedIn advertising, and SEO tend to have the lowest CACs in biotech
Business Consulting $410 $901 $533 A strategic SEO campaign yields the lowest CACs in the business consulting space, as search engines are intent-based and businesses have a large variety of specific issues for which executives query Google.
Commercial Insurance $590 $600 $593 CACs are highest for D&O and Key Person insurance and lowest for employee benefits consulting.
Construction $212 $486 $281 Larger construction companies tend to acquire companies at the best cost through biz dev partnerships, while smaller constructions companies such as ADU builders or luxury home builders find favorable CACs from SEO and paid social.
Cybersecurity $345 $512 $387 The lowest CACs in cybersecurity tend to come from PR, paid list placements, and SEO. GEO is an emerging category delivering low CACs as well.
eCommerce $87 $81 $86 While less dominant than in the B2C market, Amazon still accounts for the lion’s share of B2B ecommerce purchases. Combining Amazon SEO with traditional Google Search focused SEO effectively lowers CACs.
Education $862 $1,985 $1,143 The education sector benefits heavily from thought leadership-focused marketing due to its prestige-oriented nature.
Engineering $459 $672 $512 Engineering companies see strong returns from investing in modular content strategies and creating content that can be used across multiple customer acquisition channels.
Entertainment $190 $468 $260 Entertainment companies tend to invest most of their marketing spend in inorganic customer acquisition channels such as advertising.
Environmental Services $229 $761 $362 SEO and organic social tend to deliver the best CACs for civil engineering firms and energy efficiency consultancies.
Financial Services $644 $1,202 $784 Competitive CACs in financial services tend to come from partnerships with larger financial institutions and thought leadership marketing campaigns that involve forecasts, trend reports, and white papers.
HVAC Services $211 $549 $296 HVAC companies receive the lowest CACs from SEO and, in some cases, local advertising.
IT & Managed Services $325 $840 $454 MSPs and IT services companies see their lowest CACs from white label partnerships, LinkedIn, and SEO.
Legal Services $584 $1,245 $749 The highly competitive nature of the legal services industry drives up CACs, even when using lower-CAC channels such as SEO and organic LinkedIn.
Manufacturing $662 $905 $723 SEO is highly effective for lowering manufacturing CACs, as relationships are driven by 
Medical Device $501 $755 $565 B2B medical device CACs are driven by hospital purchasing needs, and investing in in-person lead generation such as trade shows and networking
Oil & Gas $710 $1,003 $783 Oil & Gas companies tend to favor more traditional forms of customer acquisition, particularly in-person channels such as trade shows and industry networking.
PCB Design & Manufacturing $330 $658 $412 PCB design & manufacturing is a heavily competitive industry, but content-based customer acquisition channels tend to perform particularly well.
Pharmaceutical $196 $160 $187 While traditionally focused on TV advertising, customer acquisition in the pharmaceuticals industry has been increasingly driven by digital marketing.
Real Estate $660 $1,185 $791 While real estate CACs are notably high, both consumer and business customers produce significant lifetime value.
Software Development $680 $841 $720 Organic social and content marketing are both effective at lowering CACs in the software development industry.
Solar Energy $235 $707 $353 Solar companies benefit greatly from investing in local SEO campaigns, with consumer Solar also seeing excellent returns from organic and paid social.
Transportation & Logistics $436 $732 $510 Transportation & logistics companies can most effectively lower their CACs by investing in longer form content such as reports and white papers that can be repurposed for trade show materials.

Average Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) for SaaS Companies

Our team has also analyzed the average customer acquisition costs of 22 SaaS industries to determine the average B2B CAC for each.

SaaS Industry CAC
Agtech $712
Adtech $560
Building Management & IoT $574
Chemical & Pharmaceutical $816
Cleantech $674
Construction $610
Design $658
eCommerce $274
Education $806
Engineering $551
Fintech $1,450

Legaltech $299
Medtech $921
Project Management $891
Proptech $518
Security $805
Staffing & HR $410
Telecommunications $694
Transportation & Logistics $483

How Your CAC Relates to Customer Lifetime Value

Where your CAC tells you how much it costs to acquire a new customer, a customer’s lifetime value (LTV) does the opposite: it tells you how much profit, on average, each new customer provides. The simplest way to do so is to divide your monthly or annual profit by the number of unique customers you saw in that time period. You can then multiply that result by the number of years the average customer continues to buy from you to find your average customer LTV.

You should aim for an LTV of at least 3 times your CAC. This provides a comfortable buffer on each side, ensuring that you aren’t overspending on marketing. You should also weigh this ratio against historical trends, and when possible, direct competitor data to provide context. If, for instance, your LTV to CAC ratio is only 2:1 but there’s strong growth compared to historic trends, that doesn’t mean you should cut your marketing spend to try to reduce your CAC. In that case, your LTV will continue to rise as newer customers return and keep making purchases.

This is especially useful to keep in mind if you’ve just launched a new marketing campaign or committed to a longer term strategy. Let’s say you’ve just started an SEO campaign. It will take about 4–6 months before you begin seeing results, meaning that your LTV to CAC ratio will take a hit for those first few months. Once the campaign is well underway, however, your ratio will begin to increase and should continue to do so for the length of your campaign.

How to Lower Your CACs

You may have noticed that organic CAC beats out inorganic CAC in almost every case. This is for two reasons. The first is that an investment in organic channels will take longer to pay off, but results in sustainable lead generation that doesn’t require a constant influx of cash to maintain. The second reason is that your organic CAC relies more on skill and creativity. You need to find a good firm to work with, but if you do, your CAC will be much lower than your competitors who rely on inorganic channels.

If you’d like to know more about using organic marketing channels to lower your CAC, feel free to get in touch. We have presences in Sacramento, Los Angeles, and all around the US, and have helped businesses in many B2B industries achieve higher ROI via SEO than any other lead generation strategy.

The Top Cybersecurity SEO Agencies in 2025

2025-11-21 06:14:48

Last updated: November 20, 2025

This report ranks the top cybersecurity SEO agencies in 2025, based on a proprietary algorithm developed by our research team. From a total pool of 75+ candidates, we rank-ordered agencies based on the following criteria: 

  • Notable Clients (25%): The top 3 most recognizable cybersecurity clients listed on the agency’s website or on 3rd party databases, with a higher score being awarded the more recognizable a client is. 
  • Leadership Experience Score (15%): A quantitative evaluation of the agency’s C-suite and senior leadership, based on an examination of # years experience in SEO, as well as prior experience at cybersecurity companies.
  • Average Reviews (15%): A 1-5 star ranking of each firm based on their online reviews, averaged out to the nearest whole star. In cases where the SEO firm does more than just cybersecurity, the score has been adjusted to more accurately fit their performance with cybersecurity clients.
  • Founder Status (10%): A generalized score based on the size and tenure of the company to determine whether or not they have experienced a healthy amount of growth.
  • Year Founded (10%): We consider an agency’s age to be a reflection of their ability to adapt to changing market conditions while continuing to deliver effective SEO services for their clients.
  • Median Employee Tenure (10%): We used LinkedIn Insights to provide a rough measure of employee tenure, and favor agencies with longer tenures as employee retention correlates positively with training and opportunities for skill development.
  • GEO Offering (10%): While as of yet, few SEO agencies have updated their approach to include generative engine optimization or other services that help clients rank on ChatGPT or AI Overviews, users are increasingly turning to AI tools instead of traditional search. We give higher scores to the agencies that have established a first mover advantage in this emerging discipline.
  • Media References (5%): We estimated the total number of citations that each agency has received from news websites, major industry publications, and other highly respected websites

The following table presents the top 10 scoring agencies evaluated by our team. In addition to their ranking scores, we have also included information pertaining to the agency’s corporate HQ as well as their unique approach to SEO to get an idea of what they excel at.

In addition, they provide a content department that can help clients with a digital branding strategy that pins down their unique language in the cybersecurity space. 

Alaniz Marketing has worked with a smaller number of cybersecurity companies compared with others on this list, and their leadership, while very experienced, is limited to two people based on their website. This is consistent with the firm’s decision to keep their teams lean, despite the agency’s overall tenure.

  • Leadership Experience: 3.9
  • Company Size: 10-25

For prospective clients attempting to identify their most useful marketing channel, this might make an ideal pairing. BlueText also provides these services a la carte, with clients being able to customize their packages as they see fit.

BlueText has partnered with several highly notable names in the cybersecurity industry in the past. Their website contains little, if any, information on their leadership. The firm is relatively small compared to others on this list, however, this may be appropriate since they are a relatively new company. 

  • Notable Clients: Obrela, Varonis, Centauri
  • Leadership Experience: 3.5
  • Company Size: 11-50
  • Year Founded: 2011
  • Headquarters: Washington DC

This makes them an ideal candidate for cybersecurity companies that want to roll out a new product or test new keywords to identify new audiences, but it limits their use case to relatively short-term campaigns. In addition to PPC, they also provide social media marketing, which would be ideal for B2C companies seeking organic growth. 

Metric Theory does not have extensive experience in the cybersecurity industry, based on their online client history. Their leadership appears to have a solid background in marketing as a whole rather than specifically in SEO, and the company has seen solid growth for having been in business for just more than a decade.

  • Notable Clients: Zenefits, GoFundMe, Carvana
  • Leadership Experience: 3.5
  • Company Size: 100-250
  • Year Founded: 2013

This makes them an ideal choice for clients seeking a comprehensive digital marketing strategy that improves the customer experience at every stage of the sales funnel. 

Aspectus Group has worked with a small number of notable cybersecurity companies, however their reviews indicate a solid reputation for their craft.

  • Notable Clients: Flexxon, Clavister, 
  • Leadership Experience: 3.9
  • Company Size: 51-200

Their C-suite, however, is well-versed in webinar best practices, making them incredibly useful on the agency’s relatively small teams.
