We publish what
most agencies charge for.

Prices, processes and the parts that did not work. If reading this means you decide to do it yourself, that is a fair outcome.

Latest

Everything,
newest first.

No listicles, no thought leadership, no posts written to hit a word count. Each one answers a question a real client asked us, and says plainly where the numbers came from.

01
AI search

What AI search visibility actually costs

GEO retainers are published from $1,500 to $50,000 a month, none itemised. Ours is a $250 line that is not sold alone. What it covers, what moves it, and when to spend nothing.

E-commerce

E-commerce

How much does a Shopify website cost?

Page one gives you Shopify's plan prices and vague ranges, never an agency's itemised build. Here is ours line by line, what Shopify charges on top, and what moves it.

04
SEO

Website gets traffic but no leads: what is broken

The wrong traffic and a broken path look the same on a graph and need opposite fixes. How to tell which you have, and the case where the leads already exist.

05
Local SEO

Google Business Profile suspended: the reinstatement walkthrough

The notice gives no reason and the guides say review the guidelines. Here is which kind of suspension you have, why it happened, the evidence to gather, how to file one good appeal, and what to do while you wait.

Pricing

Search this and you get ranges from $100 to $5,000 a month and not one agency's own price. Ours is $750 a month. Here is what is inside it, what moves it, and when you should keep your money.

Content hubs

One hub per service,
read in order.

Every service we sell has a hub, plus one for pricing, because that is the question everybody arrives with. Each hub opens with the long piece on that subject, then everything else we have written around it.

Next step

You have read what
we would do. Here is what it costs.

Every price is on one page, itemised to the line. If it does not fit your budget you will know in ten seconds, which is a better use of your time than a proposal.
