How we work

How an engagement runs.

01

Goals in dollars

The discovery call is about your business, not our deck. What does growth mean in revenue — and by when? Channels get picked to match, not the other way around.

02

KPIs before launch

Analytics goals, call tracking, and targets go in writing before the first dollar of budget moves. If we can't measure it, we don't launch it.

03

Optimize in the open

You see every dollar — where it went, what it returned, what we changed and why. The dashboard is live, not a monthly PDF.

04

Earn the renewal

A monthly strategy review walks through the numbers together. Stay because the work is working — no contract makes you.

Engagement terms

The terms, up front.

Published pricing

Ad management at 20% of spend — or a flat-rate retainer decided per client. The math is here, not behind a sales call.

Month to month

No long-term contracts. Leave whenever the work stops working.

No setup fees

Onboarding, tracking setup, and dashboards are part of the plan — not a line item.

100% in-house

Strategy, creative, and reporting fulfilled by our own team.

Agency questions

Straight answers about hiring an agency.

What it costs, where to start, and what we will — and won't — promise. Wondering about a specific channel? Start with SEO services or Google Ads management.

Ask us anything

A digital marketing agency plans, runs, and measures the channels that reach your customers online — search rankings, paid ads, social, your website, and the content on it. A good one agrees on KPIs before launch, reports openly every month, and changes course based on numbers, not opinions.

Ad management — Google Ads, paid social, display, and video — is 20% of monthly ad spend, with a $500 monthly minimum. Rates can step down as spend scales — larger programs may run as low as 15%. A flat-rate retainer is available and decided per client. Media buying starts at 15%. SEO/GEO plans are flat from $1,299 per month. Every proposal itemizes fees before you commit — no setup fees, no long-term contracts.

It depends on how soon you need results. High-intent search campaigns generate leads in the first week. SEO and awareness builds compound over 3–6 months. Most clients run both — ads for leads this quarter, SEO for market share next year. We'll tell you if a channel isn't a fit.

No. Everything is month to month, with no setup fees. We earn the renewal every month — stay because the work is working, not because a contract says you have to.

Three mechanical differences: published pricing (ad management at 20% of spend — or a flat-rate retainer — the math is on this page, not behind a sales call), 100% in-house fulfillment, and a live dashboard that shows every dollar — where it went, what it returned, what we changed and why. One number that follows from them: roughly 99% of clients stay, with no contract requiring it.

Against KPIs we agree on before launch — cost per lead, ROAS, organic traffic, revenue. Not impressions, not follower counts. We don't lead with vanity metrics. You'll see the same dashboard we do, and we'll walk through it together in a monthly strategy review.
