Transparent pricing
Our prices are on the website.
On purpose.
Most agencies make you sit through a sales call before they tell you the price. We put it right here. Pick a plan, or book a free call and we'll help you choose.
Not sure which plan? The free call is exactly for that.
Why we do this
Zero Charlotte marketing agencies put their pricing online. We checked. Digimatiq has been open for over ten years and still says "call for monthly pricing." The Social Rook, Boostability, Full Blast Creative — all of them require a call before they'll tell you a number. Some require a 12-month contract before they'll even discuss price. We think your time is worth more than a 30-minute discovery call to find out you can't afford it.
Pick your plan.
All plans are month-to-month. No setup fees. No annual lock-in.
10-lead guarantee — Growth & Scale plans: if we don't deliver 10 qualified leads in your first 30 days, your first month is free.

Google Ads budget — separate from our fee
What's NOT in the monthly price
We don't hide fees. Here's what's separate from the plan cost:
-
Google Ads budget
Paid directly to Google. We recommend $500–$1,500/month to start. This is your ad spend — not our fee.
-
Website design
If you need a full website built from scratch, that's a separate project. Landing pages are included in Growth and Scale.
-
Photography/videography
We'll recommend Charlotte-based providers. We don't charge a markup.
-
Domain and hosting
You own and pay for your own. We help you set it up.
Our guarantee
If we don't deliver,
you don't pay.
If your plan includes Google Ads (Growth or Scale) and we don't generate at least 10 qualified leads in your first 30 days, your first month is free.
The fine print — all of it
Applies to Growth and Scale tiers with active Google Ads
"Qualified lead" means a real person inquiring about a service you offer — not clicks or impressions
Requires a minimum $500/month Google Ads budget
One-time guarantee for the first month of service
We define "qualified" together before launch — no goal-post moving

Questions
Everything you want to know.
How fast can I start?
Most clients are live within 7 days. We set up tracking, build campaigns, and connect AI systems in week one. If you have an existing website and Google Business Profile, it goes even faster.
Can I switch tiers?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade any month. No penalties, no paperwork.
What if I'm already running Google Ads?
We'll audit your current campaigns during the free strategy call. If they're working well, we build on them. If they're wasting money, we rebuild them. Either way, your ad account stays yours.
Do I need a website to start?
Not necessarily. We can build landing pages as part of Growth and Scale plans. For the Starter plan, we focus on your Google Business Profile and reviews — no website required.
What happens when I cancel?
Everything stays yours. Your website, your ad accounts, your content, your data, your reviews. We pause our services and you keep everything we built. No exit fees. No proprietary CMS lock-in. No hard feelings.
How do I know if marketing is working?
Every lead, call, and form fill is tracked with unique phone numbers and UTM parameters. You'll see exactly how many leads came from marketing, what they cost, and whether they turned into jobs or cases. No ambiguity.
Do you work with businesses outside Charlotte?
Yes. Charlotte is our home base, but our AI systems and ad management work nationwide. We serve clients across North Carolina and beyond.
What does onboarding look like?
Week one: we set up tracking (call tracking numbers, UTM parameters, Google Tag Manager), connect your Google Business Profile and ad accounts, and configure the AI lead follow-up system. You'll have a kickoff call with your account lead. Most clients are fully live within 7 business days.
What should I expect in the first 30 days?
By end of month one: tracking is live, your GBP is fully optimized, your first review requests have gone out, and (for Growth/Scale) your Google Ads are running. You'll see a performance snapshot covering impressions, calls, and leads generated. Results ramp as the campaigns optimize — most clients see meaningful lead volume by day 21.
Do you guarantee results?
Growth and Scale clients with active Google Ads get our 10-lead guarantee: if we don't generate at least 10 qualified leads in your first 30 days, your first month is free. "Qualified" means a real person inquiring about a service you offer — not clicks or impressions. We define it together before launch.
How do you optimize campaigns over time?
We review performance weekly. Google Ads are adjusted based on cost-per-lead, keyword quality, and conversion data. GBP posts are updated weekly. Review velocity is monitored monthly. You'll see every change in your reporting dashboard (Scale) or monthly performance snapshot (Starter/Growth).
How often do I get reports?
Starter clients receive a monthly performance snapshot via email. Growth clients get weekly performance emails plus a monthly strategy call. Scale clients get a live reporting dashboard they can access any time, plus bi-weekly strategy calls. Every client can see their lead count, call volume, and ad spend at any time.
Pick a plan. Or pick up the phone.
If you know what you need, book the call and we'll get started this week. If you're not sure, that's what the free strategy call is for — we'll tell you which plan makes sense for your business.
