What does Artemis GTM actually build?

Artemis builds six go-to-market systems for B2B companies: Content (traffic), Outbound (capture), Nurture (engagement), Conversion Content (closing), Qualification Automation (routing and scoring), and AI RevOps (dashboards and automations). Each system is designed, built, and documented so your team can operate it long-term.

How much does the GTM diagnostic cost?

Free. The diagnostic is completely free, including the full systems gap analysis and build plan. It takes about 2 minutes to complete, covering 47 GTM components. You receive a 0-100 health score, systems gaps with estimated revenue impact, and a prioritized build plan at no cost.

What is a good Go-to-Market health score?

A good Go-to-Market (GTM) health score is 70+ on a 100-point scale. The average B2B company scores 47, indicating most have significant systems gaps. Scores below 50 suggest critical missing systems, while scores above 80 indicate mature, integrated go-to-market operations.

What systems gaps does the diagnostic find?

The diagnostic maps gaps across all six GTM stages: missing content systems (no inbound traffic), broken outbound systems (slow lead response, no visitor identification), absent nurture systems (leads going cold), weak conversion content (no case studies or proof points), missing qualification automation (leads going to wrong reps), and no AI RevOps (no dashboards or alerts).

How is revenue impact calculated?

Revenue impact uses the formula: (Benchmark Rate - Current Rate) x Lead Volume x Deal Size = Annual Revenue at Risk. For example, if your conversion is 15% vs. a 25% benchmark with 200 monthly leads and $30K deal size, that gap costs $720K annually. The diagnostic benchmarks your metrics against 200+ B2B companies.

How long does the diagnostic take?

The free diagnostic takes about 2 minutes. You answer 10 questions about your company, sales process, and tech stack. Our AI analyzes your responses in 30 seconds and delivers a complete systems gap report with a 0-100 health score and a prioritized build plan. A full Growth Systems Build engagement runs 12 weeks.

What's the difference between a diagnostic and a systems build?

The diagnostic is the assessment. It identifies which systems you're missing and quantifies the revenue impact. The Growth Systems Build is the implementation. We design, build, and document the actual systems your team needs. Think of the diagnostic as the blueprint and the build as the construction.

Who is this for? What size companies benefit?

The diagnostic and systems builds are designed for B2B SaaS companies with $1M-$100M+ in revenue. It's most valuable for companies with at least 2 salespeople and an established pipeline. Founders, VPs of Sales, RevOps leaders, and GTM consultants all use it.

How long does a Growth Systems Build take?

A typical Growth Systems Build runs 12 weeks. We design, build, and hand off your top 3 missing systems with full documentation and team training. Ongoing Operations engagements continue month-to-month after the initial build. Most companies see pipeline impact within the first 30 days.

Do I need to change my tech stack?

Not necessarily. Most gaps come from missing systems and configuration issues, not bad tools. We often find that companies are underusing tools they already own. When we do recommend new tools, it's because there's a clear systems gap that existing tools can't fill.

Is Apollo free tier actually useful?

Yes. The free plan includes 10,000 email credits per month, basic sequences, and access to the contact database. It is enough to run a meaningful outbound test. Most early-stage teams start free and upgrade when they need more credits or advanced features.

How does Apollo data quality compare to Amplemarket?

Apollo has broader coverage (275M+ contacts) but lower accuracy on a per-record basis. We typically see 5-8% bounce rates with Apollo compared to under 3% with Amplemarket. For high-volume outbound where you can tolerate some bounces, Apollo works well. For precision outreach to high-value targets, Amplemarket is more reliable.

Can Apollo replace my entire outbound stack?

For early-stage teams, yes. Apollo includes data, sequencing, and basic analytics in one platform. As you scale past $5M ARR and need AI personalization, advanced deliverability, or multi-channel automation, you will likely outgrow Apollo for primary outbound but can keep it as a data source.

Does Apollo integrate with my CRM?

Yes. Apollo has native integrations with HubSpot and Salesforce that sync contacts, activities, and deal data. The sync is reliable for most use cases, though it is not as deep as what you get with Amplemarket bi-directional sync.

How does Apollo handle email deliverability?

Apollo includes basic sending limits and domain health monitoring, but it lacks the advanced warmup and reputation management tools that Amplemarket provides. If you are sending at scale (1,000+ emails per week), you may need a supplementary deliverability tool.

How We've Used It

Tom Regan

Founder, Artemis GTM

I was a founding SDR leader at Apollo.io and helped scale the company from $800K to $50M ARR. I know the platform inside and out — not as a user, but as someone who built the outbound motion on it. Apollo is the tool I recommend to every startup founder running their first outbound experiments. You can get started for free, and the paid plans give you access to a massive contact database that would cost 5x more on ZoomInfo. I have used it with early-stage clients to build their initial prospect lists and run their first sequences. The data is good enough to get started, though you will notice more bounces than with Amplemarket as you scale. For the price, it is hard to beat. At larger companies, I see it used effectively as a volume data source feeding into more sophisticated tools.

Who Should Use Apollo

Early-stage startups ($1M-$5M ARR) that need an outbound platform on a budget, and scale-stage companies ($15M+) that want Apollo as a high-volume data layer alongside other tools. If you are building your first outbound motion and need data plus sequencing without breaking the bank, Apollo is the right starting point.

Pros

Massive contact database accessible from day one
Free tier is genuinely useful for early-stage teams
Aggressive pricing makes it accessible at any stage
Chrome extension makes LinkedIn prospecting fast
Good enough data quality for most use cases
Built-in sequences eliminate need for a separate tool

Who Should NOT Use Apollo

Growth-stage teams ($5M-$15M ARR) that need AI-driven personalization and top-tier deliverability management. At this stage, the cost savings from Apollo are outweighed by the higher reply rates and better data quality you get from Amplemarket. Also not ideal if your outbound volume is small enough that data quality matters more than quantity.

Cons

Data accuracy is lower than Amplemarket or ZoomInfo for mid-market
Email deliverability tools are less sophisticated
AI personalization is basic compared to Amplemarket Duo Copilot
Can feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of features

Apollo vs. Alternatives

Largest contact database at the lowest price point, with a free tier that lets you test outbound before committing budget.
