Pricing
Three stages from a clear problem to a measured result.
The $497 Paid AI Opportunity Audit takes two weeks and produces the written plan. Implementation is $3,500–$5,000 and is scoped from that plan. Monthly Optimization is $300–$900/month after the 30-day guarantee, tied to the same agreed business number — never hours spent.
Separate public offer

The price — and why it tracks your numbers
“The consultant and the operator have to aim at the same number. The price moves with it — not against hours, not against how busy we get.”

The three stages
The paid audit writes down the problem and the one business number to watch. The build is scoped from that plan. Monthly Optimization uses the same number after the 30-day guarantee, even when the result goes beyond the target — the monthly price never moves with hours spent.
Stage 1
Agreed number: Where you start and the number we’ll move, both in writing.
A two-week paid engagement. We map every step between a new inquiry and a paid job, write down one business number to move, and hand you a firm build quote. The audit is paid even if we cannot commit to a number.
- Two-week paid engagement
- Your inquiry-to-job journey mapped + a peer comparison
- A written plan you can hand to another vendor
- A firm build quote
- The plan is yours whether or not we book the next stage
Two weeks (10 working days)
A written plan for your business, a baseline measurement against similar operators, and one number to move — whether or not you go on to Implementation.

Agreed number: One business number, sized against the build.
Message-handling tools, connections between them, a customer record system (CRM), and SMS or voice where they help. The final quote lands once the Audit has written down the number and the build has been sized against it.
- Message-handling tools · connected steps · customer record system
- SMS and voice added where they earn their keep
- One named number from the Audit
- Upper end spans SMS / voice / booking-software integration
- Lower end is a single-channel workflow
Scoped after the Audit (typically 4 – 8 weeks)
The single number from the Audit moves by the agreed amount within 4–8 weeks — priced against a fixed quote, not a bill for hours on tools.

Stage 3
Agreed number: Improvement over where you started.
A $300/mo floor and a $900/mo ceiling. The exact figure is set against the number we agreed in the Audit. It kicks in once the 30-day guarantee clears. The monthly price never moves against hours spent on tools.
- Priced against the number we agreed in the Audit
- $300/mo floor, $900/mo ceiling
- How you compare to similar businesses in your industry
- No reduced fee when you beat the target
- Starts after the 30-day guarantee clears
Monthly — starts after the 30-day guarantee clears
Continued improvement above your starting point, with the monthly price capped at the agreed band — we never raise it to chase more hours on tools, and we never cut the work when you beat the target.
See what we cover, what you receive, and what the audit funds.
These aren’t a starting point for negotiation. They’re the range we publish because we commit to it.
One business number vs. hours
Why is the price tied to one business number, not hours?
The price stays tied to the named business number, carries no upward change when tool hours grow, and uses an anonymized comparison with similar businesses.
