Marketo scores your leads. Does the score actually reach the rep?

Adobe Marketo Engage is an enterprise marketing automation platform built for B2B: nurture programs, lead scoring, email and landing pages, all designed to hand off qualified leads to a sales team. We build the automation that carries that handoff the rest of the way, so a lead crossing your score threshold turns into something a rep actually sees and acts on, not a number sitting in a Marketo field.

What We Build on Top of Marketo

Marketo's own Salesforce sync handles the standard case well: leads, contacts, and campaign membership flow between the two systems on a short interval, and Sales Insight surfaces Marketo activity right inside the Salesforce record. Here's exactly what that native sync covers, and where it stops →

Past Salesforce specifically, the same gap shows up anywhere Marketo's view of a lead is missing context it needs to score or route correctly: whether that account is already a customer, whether there's an open support ticket, whether a contract renews in 30 days. None of that lives in Marketo natively, and none of it factors into a score or a nurture track unless something pulls it in.

The handoff itself is the other common gap. A lead crossing a score threshold or finishing a program updates a field in Marketo. Whether that actually becomes a task assigned to the right rep, an alert in Slack, or a note on the account record in whatever CRM your sales team runs, Salesforce or otherwise, is custom work, not something the score change does on its own.

Marketo's REST API is solid and well documented, which is why most of this is a matter of building the connection rather than waiting for a native integration to exist or to cover a case this specific.

What That Looks Like in Practice

A score that becomes a task, not just a field

A lead crosses your hot-score threshold and a task lands on the right rep's desk with the nurture context attached, instead of sitting in a dashboard someone has to remember to check.

Account context Marketo never had

Billing status, support history, or renewal dates pulled in from your CRM or billing system so scoring and routing reflect the real account, not just campaign activity.

A sync that works for your actual CRM

If Salesforce isn't the CRM your sales team runs, the native connector doesn't apply. We build the bridge against whatever system you're actually using instead.

Programs that trigger real action

A program completion or status change fires off a notification, a task, or an update in a system outside Marketo entirely, not just a status flag inside it.

Running Marketo and still checking a dashboard to see who's hot enough to call?

Tell us what's supposed to happen the moment a lead crosses your score threshold or a program wraps up, and what actually happens instead. We'll map out what's genuinely worth wiring together. And if Marketo isn't where the real gap is, that's fine too, we build on whatever's actually slowing your team down.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Marketo?+
Adobe Marketo Engage, an enterprise marketing automation platform now part of Adobe Experience Cloud. It's built for B2B marketing teams running lead scoring, nurture programs, email campaigns, and landing pages, usually alongside a separate CRM like Salesforce that sales actually works out of. n-frames doesn't sell or implement Marketo itself; we build automation on top of whatever instance a business already has running.
How much does Marketo cost?+
Marketo doesn't publish list pricing. It's sold as an enterprise product with custom quotes based on your contact database size and which edition you need, so we'd point you to Adobe directly for a current number rather than quote something that might already be stale.
Is Marketo a CRM?+
No. Marketo handles marketing automation, scoring, and nurture; it doesn't manage a sales pipeline or deal stages on its own. Most businesses running Marketo pair it with a separate CRM, commonly Salesforce, and sync the two.
Does Marketo have an API?+
Yes, a REST API covering leads, campaigns, programs, and activity data. That's the same API custom integrations use to pull Marketo data into other systems or push outside data into Marketo's scoring and segmentation.
How does Marketo compare to HubSpot?+
Different scale and audience: Marketo is built for larger B2B marketing teams running complex, multi-step nurture programs on top of an existing CRM, while HubSpot bundles a free CRM with its own marketing tools and tends to fit smaller or mid-size teams more directly. Which one's right depends on your sales process more than either tool's feature list, and that's not a call n-frames makes for you; we build on top of whichever one you're already running.
How do I get Marketo certified, or hire a Marketo consultant?+
Certification and training run through Adobe directly, not n-frames. "Marketo consulting" usually means platform setup, administration, or campaign strategy, also not what we do. What we build is the custom automation layered on top of however your Marketo instance is already configured, regardless of who set it up.
