Pricing for Website Rescue, AI Phone, and Local Growth

Start with the right foundation, then add only the growth systems the business needs.

The pricing here is the public starting point. The final recommendation depends on the business, the current website, and which systems need to work together.

The front-door offer is simple: if the monthly plan qualifies, the static website rebuild can be included or heavily discounted. From there, the plan may add AI phone answering, local SEO, content, citations, CRM, booking, ads, or custom integrations depending on what will actually help the business.

Not sure where you fit? Send the current website and I will tell you straight.

WordPress Escape

For qualifying monthly plans, the rebuild can be included or heavily discounted so the site stops draining money before it starts creating leads.

AI Phone + Follow-Up

See AI voice systems ->

Mega Local Growth

How to Think About the Packages

Clean Slate is the escape path. It gets you away from WordPress maintenance, plugin problems, slow hosting, and unclear ownership.

Lead Machine is the growth path. It combines the website with AI phone answering, local SEO, content, lead capture, and automation.

A la carte services are for businesses that already have some pieces working and need to add one missing part.

Custom scope is for specialty systems: booking, ecommerce, menus, CRM workflows, API connections, custom apps, or plugin replacements.


The Long Game

Every package is moving toward the same outcome: a business that is easier to find, easier to contact, and easier to follow up with.

That takes three things working together:

  1. Technical foundation - a fast, clean, well-structured site Google can understand
  2. Authority signals - citations, links, reviews, and real-world trust signals
  3. Content depth - useful pages and posts that answer what customers actually search for

No matter which path you pick, you should own the important assets: domain, content, accounts, pages, and lead paths.

Not sure what you need? Before buying a la carte, send the current website for review. What moves the needle depends on where your site is right now. Sometimes you need citations. Sometimes you need links. Sometimes you need nothing but better content. I will tell you straight.

Common Questions

Real questions from people deciding whether to work with me. Direct answers, no marketing fluff.

Do I really own everything? What happens if I leave?

Yes — every piece of it is yours. The domain, the website code, the GitHub repository, the Netlify hosting account, the AI agents, the phone numbers, the content, the analytics. If you decide to walk away, I hand over root access on everything in writing.

That's not marketing language. It's how the stack is intentionally built — Hugo + Netlify + GitHub means there's no proprietary platform locking you in. You can take the entire site to any developer in the world and they'll know how to maintain it.

What's NOT included in the package price?

Three things you pay for separately: (1) ad spend itself, which goes directly from your card to Google or Meta — I never mark it up; (2) third-party software your business already uses or chooses to add, like a specific CRM, payment processor, or scheduling app; (3) custom integrations beyond the scope of the tier you picked.

Everything else — the website, AI agent setup, hosting, SEO work, content production at the volume listed, monitoring — is in the monthly fee. No surprise invoices.

How does ad spend work? Am I paying you to buy ads?

No. Ad spend goes directly from you to Google or Meta — I never touch it and never mark it up. Most agencies hide a 15% commission inside their "media management fee." That's not how I work.

On the Lead Machine Plus tier, my monthly fee covers managing one paid channel for you, with up to $1,000/month of your ad spend handled inside that fee. On the Max tier, I manage up to three channels with up to $5,000/month combined. Above $5K we talk — those scopes are custom.

What happens after the contract minimum is up?

You go month-to-month at the same rate, no auto-renewal trap. Cancel with 30 days notice and we wind it down cleanly.

The minimums exist because real SEO and lead generation take time to compound — anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. Twelve to twenty-four months is the honest window for you to see results and for me to deliver them. After that, you stay because the work is paying off, not because a clause says you have to.

Can I upgrade or change tiers later?

Yes, anytime — and there's a built-in incentive. Move from Clean Slate to Lead Machine and you get 50% off the new setup fee. Move between Lead Machine tiers (Core → Plus → Max) and we just adjust the monthly going forward, no new setup fee at all.

Most clients start where they need to be today and graduate up as the business grows. That's the design.

What if it's not working? Do I have a way out?

Yes. Two ways, depending on what's not working. If your AI voice agent doesn't book at least 3 qualified leads in the first 30 days of a Lead Machine engagement, you don't pay for the AI portion — I eat the setup cost. That's the 30-Day AI Trial, available on every tier.

If something else isn't working — content quality, response time, strategy fit — we get on a call and fix it. I don't ghost. If we can't make it right, we end the engagement and you keep everything we built. The minimums I quote include this assumption: I'm motivated to make it work because if I don't, you walk and I lose the contract.

How fast can I be live?

Three days for a Rush build. Two to three weeks for standard. The Lead Machine Rush tier is a 3-day sprint — site live, AI agent answering calls, lead capture wired, end of week three. After the sprint it rolls into the standard Core monthly.

Standard timeline is 14-21 days from the deposit clearing — that's the realistic window for proper SEO foundation, content production, AI agent training on your business, and integration testing. Anyone promising "live tomorrow" without a Rush sprint is cutting corners somewhere.

Do you take credit cards? How do payments work?

Yes — credit card, ACH, or wire. Setup fee is paid up front when we sign. Monthly fee bills on the same day each month from when we go live. No long-form invoices, no net-60 games.

For larger Resort Revenue Engine engagements I can do quarterly billing if it fits your accounting cycle better. We work that out on the scoping call.
