ISO of SurveyMonkey alternatives for validating audience

Running a B2B SaaS ad campaign — decent CTR, reasonable CPC, but zero demo bookings so far.

Before we sink more budget in, I want direct feedback from the target buyer (mid-market SaaS CS/onboarding leaders) to figure out if we've got the right audience or need to shift.

Used SurveyMonkey years ago — fine for volume, but ideally I'd get a real conversation with 10-20 people in that exact audience.

Any recommendations for $1K or under?

B2B SaaS GTM: Ads are healthy, products demos are zero — is it the marketing or the product?

I'm a contract solo marketer helping a father/son bootstrapped SaaS company. The product is an LMS built on open-source Moodle, but packaged for smaller orgs — Moodle partners and comparable platforms run $30K+/year and are built for large enterprises. This is the $100–300/month version of that, striped down with lots of white glove set up.

Positioning: We're targeting B2B SaaS customer success teams first. The core message: "Manual onboarding is costing you — it drains your team's time and lets customers slip into churn. LMS Light takes the training content you already have — the recorded videos, decks, and docs — and turns it into structured, self-serve onboarding. You see exactly where every customer is in the process, so your team saves time and catches churn signals before renewal."

When we ran a small early test with this audience around "stop running manual onboarding," ad engagement suggested the audience was ripe and the message resonated.

The problem: Once we built out the full campaign, our LinkedIn ads are running healthy numbers but we haven't converted a single demo booking from ~$600 in spend. High clicks, high bounce rate.

What I'm trying to figure out: is it the marketing (wrong audience, poor messaging) or something else, possibly fundamental with the product?
