What it costs, in writing

Real numbers, published here, because “full transparency” should mean you never have to ask.

Free: Marketing Audit
Week 1 · The Positioning & Account Teardown
Free

Who it's for: anyone considering the Sprint or Advisory. This is the qualifying step, not a stripped-down sales pitch.

What's delivered
  • Brand positioning & messaging gap read (written, 2–3 pages)
    How the business is currently positioned, where the message contradicts itself across site/ads/sales conversations, and the single biggest gap versus named competitors.
  • Search query & wasted-spend leak audit (if already running ads)
    Pulled from read-only access to the live account: top 10 wasted search terms, tracking/attribution errors found, estimated monthly waste in dollars.
  • Competitor keyword & channel gap analysis
    3–5 named competitors, which channels and terms they're visibly investing in that this business isn't.
  • Priority fix roadmap
    The top 5 fixes, ranked by revenue impact, not by effort.
See full details
Format & timeline

One written document, delivered within 3–5 business days of the intake call, walked through live on a 20–30 minute call.

Not included

No account changes, no campaign edits, no ongoing access to ad accounts beyond what read-only review requires.

Positioning & Campaign Sprint
Weeks 2–4
$3,000–$5,000one-time

Who it's for: a business that needs the strategic foundation built or rebuilt before any campaign spend is justified, whether or not they continue into Advisory afterward.

What's delivered
  • Week 2: Positioning & Messaging Sprint
  • Competitive positioning map
    A visual plot (2×2 or comparable) against 4–6 named competitors, showing the open position nobody else is holding.
  • Messaging framework document
    One core value proposition, 3 supporting pillars, proof points for each, and the top 3 objections with how to answer them, written so it's usable on the website, in ads, and in your team's sales calls without translation.
  • Channel prioritization roadmap
    A ranked recommendation across paid, organic, and offline, with the reasoning, not just a list.
  • Weeks 3–4: Campaign Strategy & Roadmap Sprint
  • Campaign restructuring plan for the prioritized channel(s)
    Account structure, ad group logic, core keyword themes, and a starter negative-keyword list.
  • Conversion & revenue tracking specification
    Exactly what needs to be implemented: GA4 events, call tracking setup, CRM integration points, as a build spec, not a build.
  • Launch-ready ad copy
    Headlines and descriptions for the initial campaigns, written directly from the messaging framework (2–3 variations per core campaign).
See full details
Format & timeline

Two working documents (positioning brief, campaign package) delivered across 3–4 weeks, each walked through live rather than dropped in an inbox.

What moves you toward $5,000 instead of $3,000

More than one paid channel in scope (e.g., Google + LinkedIn instead of Google alone), more than 3 buyer personas to position against, or an existing account complex enough that the tracking audit takes real untangling before the spec can be written.

Not included

Campaign build/launch, ongoing optimization, or any paid media management. That's what Advisory is for. This is yours to keep and hand to any other agency, including staying with your current one.

Book the Sprint
Advisory: Foundation
For businesses roughly $750K–$1.5M in revenue
$2,500–$3,500/mo

Who it's for: a business past the Sprint (or with positioning already solid) that needs one channel run properly and kept honest, not a full marketing function.

What's delivered
  • Management of one paid channel
    Google Ads, Bing Ads, or LinkedIn Ads, whichever the Sprint (or prior audit) identified as highest-intent for this business.
  • Weekly optimization pass
    Keyword/audience tuning, negative-keyword additions, bid adjustments; not daily micromanagement, not monthly neglect.
  • Monthly 1:1 strategy call (30 min)
    What moved, what didn't, and the one thing to change next.
  • Monthly performance report tied to CAC and pipeline
    Not clicks or impressions.
  • Quarterly positioning check-in (45–60 min)
    Has the market or competitive set shifted enough that the messaging framework needs a second look.
See full details
Not included

A second channel, ad creative testing beyond routine iteration, and any messaging framework rewrite. The quarterly check-in flags drift, it doesn't rebuild the framework (that's a Sprint, discounted for existing Advisory clients if it comes to that).

Talk about Foundation
Most Popular
Advisory: Growth
For businesses roughly $1.5M–$3M in revenue
$4,000–$6,000/mo

Adds to Foundation. It doesn't just restate it bigger:

What's delivered
  • A second paid channel added
    Typically Google + LinkedIn, or Google + Bing, run as one coordinated system rather than two separate accounts.
  • Optimization cadence increases to bi-weekly touches on both channels
    Plus ongoing negative-keyword and audience refinement.
  • Structured A/B testing on ad creative across both channels
    Variants tracked against each other, not just replaced on a hunch.
  • Quarterly positioning refresh
    The messaging framework document itself gets revised and redelivered if the review finds drift, not just flagged in conversation.
  • Monthly call extends to 45 minutes
    With a lighter async mid-month check-in on anything time-sensitive.
See full details
Not included

A third channel, full CRM-to-revenue attribution mapping, or landing page/CRO work. Those are what separates this from Full Funnel.

Talk about Growth
Advisory: Full Funnel
For businesses roughly $3M–$5M+ in revenue
$7,000–$10,000/mo

Adds to Growth. It doesn't just say “unlimited”:

What's delivered
  • Third channel added for full Google + Bing + LinkedIn coverage
    Or Meta substituted where it fits the buyer better than Bing.
  • Ongoing positioning oversight
    A monthly messaging-consistency pass across website, ads, and sales collateral; not just a quarterly review, an active check.
  • Landing page and conversion strategy guidance
    CRO recommendations and testing priorities layered onto the campaign work (build/implementation scoped separately if it requires design or dev work beyond strategy).
  • Full CRM-to-ad-spend revenue mapping
    Closed-loop reporting from first click to closed deal, not just to lead.
  • Weekly strategic touchpoints
    The monthly call stays, plus a standing weekly async update. This tier is meant to feel like an embedded partner, not a monthly check-in with a bigger invoice.
  • Priority response
    Same-day, not the standard one-business-day.
See full details
Not included

Anything requiring a second full-time person (e.g., dedicated paid-social creative production, in-house design). Flag it as a referral or add-on rather than quietly absorbing it into a solo workload.

Talk about Full Funnel

These are management fees. Any advertising budget goes directly to Google, Bing, or LinkedIn and stays under your control. It's never billed through me.

For comparison: a fractional CMO and a separate execution agency covering this same scope typically runs $18,000–$30,000 a month combined.

PRICING FAQ

Questions worth answering up front

How do you land on a number inside a range like $3,000–$5,000?

The free audit tells us which side of the range applies before you commit to anything. Each tier's “See full details” panel spells out exactly what pushes the price up (more channels, more personas, more untangling), so the number you get on a call isn't a guess.

Is Advisory a contract, or can I cancel?

Month to month, no minimum term. Give notice and it ends at the close of the current billing month — no early-termination fee.

What if my revenue is right on the border between two Advisory tiers?

Revenue is a starting signal, not a hard cutoff. Channel count and account complexity matter just as much, so the audit or Sprint output determines the tier, not the revenue band alone.

Can I move between tiers later?

Yes, in either direction, effective the next billing month. Moving up usually follows the quarterly positioning check-in surfacing a new channel or scope worth adding.

Do you require the ad budget to run through you?

No. The prices above are management fees only. Ad spend is billed directly by Google, Bing, or LinkedIn to your own account and card, and stays under your control at all times.

What happens if I skip Advisory after the Sprint?

Nothing forces the next step. The positioning brief and campaign package from the Sprint are yours to keep and hand to your own team or another agency, no strings attached.

Still not sure which tier fits?

Start with the free marketing audit. It's the qualifying step for everything above, and it tells you honestly whether you need the Sprint, Advisory, or nothing at all yet.
