S/06 · How buying works

From first call to signed scope.

A clear path from initial conversation to a written scope you can actually compare. No decks, no pressure tactics.

01

Strategy call (free, 30 min)

A senior strategist walks through your current state, goals, and constraints. You leave with directional priorities even if we never work together.

02

Diagnostic snapshot (3–5 days)

We pull a quick read on technical, semantic, and conversion gaps so the proposal is grounded in your data, not assumptions.

03

Written scope + pricing

A fixed-price scope with deliverables, cadence, pod, reporting, and term. Negotiate in writing — nothing verbal.

04

Kickoff within 2 weeks

Once signed, you meet the pod, we set up access and tooling, and the first sprint ships within the second week.

S/07 · Pricing FAQs

Honest answers to common questions.

FAQ 01

Are these prices final, or starting points?

Starting points. The listed scope reflects what most teams at that stage need; your exact deliverables, cadence, and team are confirmed in a written scope after the strategy call. No surprise add-ons later.

FAQ 02

What is the minimum contract length?

Three months for Starter and Growth, six months for Scale. SEO compounds; anything shorter punishes both sides. Month-to-month after the initial term, with 30 days notice.

FAQ 03

What is included vs. billed separately?

Strategy, execution, reporting, and senior accountability are included. Third-party costs pass through at cost: paid media spend, premium tools you keep, content production above scope, and licensed media. You see every invoice.

FAQ 04

Can we pause or downgrade mid-engagement?

Yes. Pause once per term for up to 30 days. Downgrade at the end of any month with 30 days notice. We would rather right-size than lose the relationship.

FAQ 05

Do you offer performance-based or equity-based pricing?

Rarely, and only for product-market-fit-validated companies with clean attribution. Our default is a fixed retainer tied to scope. It keeps incentives honest on both sides and avoids gaming short-term metrics.

FAQ 06

What happens if results lag the plan?

We tell you first — in writing, with the diagnosis and the corrective plan. If a quarter underperforms agreed-upon leading indicators, the next month is at 50%. We have only invoked this twice in seven years.
