Acquisition.com growth playbook

Diagnosis

Acquisition.com has a huge audience (12M+), free courses, a roadmap requested by 250,000 owners and about 20 events a month, and it is hiring workshop directors, an Instagram strategist and producer, a first Director of Data and governance for AI.

The quick gap is the website: dozens of industry workshop pages, test and thank-you pages all look the same to search engines, and the homepage and media pages undersell the brand. This playbook fixes indexing and titles first, then connects Instagram, courses, books and events to the workshop and advisory funnel with one founder record, and adds industry cohorts, benchmarks and an AI constraint finder.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the industry pages and the audience into qualified owners who book by trade, and follow them from roadmap to advisory.

Biggest Risk

Rapid growth in claims-driven marketing raises FTC and telemarketing exposure, so proof and outreach must stay disciplined as volume grows.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Acquisition.com runs about 20 events a month and is hiring three workshop directors, and it has already built workshop pages for dozens of industries, from HVAC and welding to veterinary clinics and dental practices, each with its own headline. But to search engines they look identical: 112 pages share the title "Scaling Workshop | Acquisition.com", the HVAC page's description says "We are excited that you chose to take part in our Scaling workshop", and several industries have two near-copies (/workshop-hvac and /workshop-hvac1). An HVAC owner searching for help scaling an HVAC company is unlikely to find the page written for them.

    Smallest test

    Retitle ten industry pages this week and watch their impressions for a month.

    Why it works

    Give each industry page a unique title and description ("Scaling Workshop for HVAC Companies | Acquisition.com"), pick one page per industry and point the duplicates at it with a canonical or redirect, and add an indexable /workshops/industries hub that lists every industry with a short paragraph, a real testimonial from that industry where one exists, and the "find out if you are a fit" call. Keep ad-only variants out of the index.

    The pages and the headlines already exist, so this is a few days of work that turns paid-only landing pages into organic entry points for owners who search by trade, and it gives the concierge team better-qualified calls by industry.

    Title: Scaling Workshop for {Industry} Owners | Acquisition.com
    Description: A 2-day, in-person workshop in Las Vegas for {industry} businesses over $1M. Meet our marketing, sales, people and AI directors and leave with 3-5 tactical next steps.
    Canonical: /workshop-{industry} (primary)
    Duplicates: 301 or canonical to primary; ad variants noindex

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Paid tests break

      Keep ad variants live but noindexed; only the primary page is indexed.

    • Thin pages

      Add a paragraph on the industry's common constraints written by the workshop directors.

    Evidence

Most are industry versions with their own headline (for example /workshop-hvac: "HVAC COMPANIES: Are You the Biggest Risk to Your Own Business?"; /workshop-vet: "Veterinary Clinics"), some in pairs such as /workshop-hvac and /workshop-hvac1 or /workshop-welding and /workshop-welding-s.

    Smallest test

    Noindex the two indexable thank-you pages today.

    Why it works

    Generate the sitemap only from pages meant for search; add noindex to every thank-you, test and post-call page; retire or redirect /careers-old and the malformed address; and exclude thank-you page views that do not follow a form submission from conversion reporting.

    Clean indexing protects the brand in search, and clean conversions give the paid and data teams numbers they can trust.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Breaking live funnels

      Change indexing only; keep the pages working for people who submit forms.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteThe sitemap also lists post-conversion, test and retired pages: /thankyouforyourapplication and /roadmap-ty-a (both "index, follow"), course thank-you pages (/100m-courses-ty-*), /workshop-constraint-test-dnu, /ic-test-draft, /km-test12, /roadmap-form-test, /careers-old, and a malformed address, /https/www.acquisition.com/roadmap-p-d, that serves a page with its own canonical.Source

    Why it works

    Write titles and descriptions around the offer: "Acquisition.com | Scaling Workshops, Free Business Courses and the $100M Scaling Roadmap", and similar for media, podcast and books pages.

    The brand gets millions of searches; a clear title lifts click-through to the pages that convert.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Brand searchers expect the name first

      Keep "Acquisition.com" at the start of the title.

    Evidence

    Why it works

    Find the scripts that block taps (chat, video, tags), load them after interaction, split the page bundle, and set a JavaScript budget per landing template.

    Visitors coming from short-form video are impatient; faster taps protect form starts on the roadmap and fit-call pages.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Why it works

    Add a consent option to registration, film selected stage segments and (with permission) round-table moments, and turn them into clips on how real owners found their constraint. Give each workshop director a monthly clip series.

    Real owners solving real problems is the most persuasive content for the workshop, and it costs little because the events happen anyway.

    Why it works

    Send each attendee their next steps in writing, a day-7 check-in, a day-14 group call with a director and a day-30 review, with an Advisory Practice offer for owners who want help executing.

    Follow-through turns a two-day event into results and is the bridge to the Advisory Practice.

    There are already constraint-finder and constraint pages, the company wants to be AI-first after data-first, and it is building ISO 42001 controls for AI. Owners below the workshop threshold still need a diagnosis.

    Smallest test

    Test the questionnaire with 50 owners by hand.

    Why it works

    Build an AI tool that asks about the business, applies the published frameworks, names the likely constraint and recommends the matching course module, with clear limits, human escalation and governed data use.

    It scales the workshop's core moment to the hundreds of thousands who request roadmaps, and it qualifies the best ones for the workshop.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Bad advice at scale

      Keep outputs to framework guidance and route complex cases to humans.

    Evidence

    • HiringDirector of Data (posted October 13, 2026), the first data leader: "We hold data from thousands of client businesses, including company profiles, purchases, product usage, and live connections to bank, CRM, and advertising accounts.

    Smallest test

    Survey 500 qualified owners who did not book.

    Why it works

    Use roadmap and booking data to find the regions with the most qualified owners who did not book, pilot a quarter of workshops in the strongest one (the portfolio already operates in Austin), and compare show rates and advisory conversion.

    Bringing the room closer opens demand that travel blocks, without changing the format.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Weaker experience away from the office

      Bring the same directors and format.

    Smallest test

    Post three Spanish clips.

    Why it works

    Launch a Spanish channel with dubbed or subtitled clips of the best-performing frameworks, and a Spanish version of one free course, measuring roadmap requests from Spanish speakers.

    AI production makes translation cheap, and the frameworks travel well.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Voice feels unnatural

      Use subtitles where dubbing tests poorly.

    Evidence

    • HiringSocial Media Strategist, Instagram (posted October 6, 2026) and Social Media Producer (posted September 4, 2026) for ACQ Media, "the in-house media engine behind Acquisition.com and its portfolio of brands led by Alex Hormozi, Leila Hormozi, and Sharran Srivatsaa", whose mission is "to build the leading business media organization in the world by 2030".

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value tactical, no-fluff frameworks. The most cited problem: the owner as the bottleneck.

  • Access to directors who run a real portfolio
  • Unclear constraint
  • In their words: “scale”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: Vistage, EOS Worldwide and Scaling Up.

  • Gap to exploit: Industry-specific scaling help for trades and clinics
  • Vistage: Less tactical marketing and sales content
  • EOS Worldwide: Operations-led, less growth focus

Hiring signals

Acquisition.com is hiring to scale its workshop and media engine and to become data-first.

  • Director of Marketing Workshops: Workshops and incoming cohorts. Ideas 1, 11.
  • Director of Business Workshops: Founder follow-ups between events. Idea 8.
  • Event Specialist: About 20 events a month. Ideas 7, 18.
