App development studio struggles to gain US clients' trust due to portfolio entirely from a different market, making them appear inexperienced.

Existing solutions (social media ads, Google search ads) failed because social leads were unqualified (bots, kids, non-responsive) and search ads yielded fewer leads with increased spend; neither addressed the trust barrier caused by the market-specific portfolio.
