- Priced for AI-Run Agencies
Accountability, Priced Two Ways.
Your team produces and we verify — from $350/mo. Or we do the work end to end — four tiers from $650/mo. Either way, a senior specialist with deep knowledge answers for everything that ships under your brand. No contracts, no setup fees.
- Option 1 · Per Client
Review-Only
For agencies whose team and AI already produce the work. We don't create anything — we verify, correct, and take ownership of what ships to your client. Accountability, sold on its own.
- QC of all AI-produced content before it ships
- Full Technical & on-page review with corrections
- Monthly risk audit (rankings, GBP, indexation, backlinks)
- Escalations owned: suspensions, ranking drops
- Written rationale you can forward to clients
- Same-week turnaround on reviews
$350 /month

"Couldn't AI agents finish those hours in minutes?"
The parts AI can do — it already does. We run AI through our own pipeline, and we never bill you hours for anything an agent completes on its own. Every hour on these cards is work that still requires a human: senior review and correction before anything ships, judgment calls on strategy, link outreach that runs on real relationships, and the escalations no agent handles — suspensions, algorithm-update damage, "the client is asking why." In month one some hours go to one-time setup (audit, site structure, schema, citation or catalog cleanup); after that they cover the recurring human work rankings depend on. Every package page shows exactly what we own at each tier for all three tracks — Local · GBP, Ecommerce, and SaaS · B2B.

Inside Option 1: The $350 Review-Only Package
Everything in this section applies only to Review-Only clients — the four Full Fulfillment tiers are detailed in the next two sections. Review-Only exists for one job: making sure nothing unverified ever reaches your client under your brand.
What's included, every month
Focused reviews. Clear feedback. Zero surprises.
Human review of up to 10 deliverables
(content pieces, technical changes, GBP updates) before they ship
Corrections included
Up to two revision cycles per deliverable
Monthly risk audit
Rankings, GBP health, indexation, penalties, backlinks
Escalation ownership
Suspensions and ranking drops, one active incident at a time, same-day first response
Written rationale
For every rejection or correction — forwardable to your client
A named VG specialist
Paired with your delivery lead
What's not in this option
This is review-only — not execution.
We don't produce content, links, or campaigns
That's Full Fulfillment
We don't run your AI tools or manage your internal team
We don't talk to your clients
Ever, in either option
Unlimited review volume
Heavy books need multiple Review-Only slots or Full Fulfillment
Fair-use note
If reviews routinely require rebuilding the work rather than correcting it, we'll tell you directly and recommend moving that client to Full Fulfillment — not silently absorb it or quietly do a worse job.

Why This Runs Every Month
Rankings are a position you hold, not a project you finish. Competitors keep publishing, Google keeps updating, reviews and signals decay. Each month these 25 hours defend and extend the position — and a named specialist answers for every one of them.

Option 2 Compared: What Each Fulfillment Tier Includes
Foundation vs Standard vs Pro vs Authority, feature by feature — so you can match each of your clients to a tier before we ever talk. Anything not in this table is either out of scope or needs a custom add-on quote. We’ve kept the list honest rather than checking every box.

Operational Rules
Complete clarity, so there’s no room for confusion later —
Hour Rollover
Up to 20% of unused hours can roll over. Any rolled-over hours expire after 30 days.
Overage Handling
Any extra work starts only after we receive your written approval — no surprise bills ever.
Billing Cycle
Both options run month to month, prepaid on the 1st (card or ACH), with a simple 30-day cancellation notice.
- Pricing FAQs
Questions Agency Owners Ask Us Most
Why hours-based pricing when AI compresses execution time?
Because the hours aren't execution time — they're human-required time. Anything an agent can complete on its own runs through our AI pipeline and is never billed as hours. What you're buying is review, correction, strategy, link relationships, and escalation ownership: work that still needs a person, priced transparently so every conversation is "what does this client need" instead of "what counts as included."
What counts as a "deliverable" in Review-Only?
One reviewable unit of work: a content piece, a technical change set, a schema implementation, or a batch of GBP updates for one profile. Ten per month per client is the fair-use ceiling. If your volume is consistently higher, that client fits better on Full Fulfillment — and we'll say so rather than rushing reviews.
What happens if our AI output keeps failing review?
You'll get the pattern, not just rejections: what's failing, why, and what to change in your prompts or workflow. Two revision cycles per deliverable are included. If the work regularly needs rebuilding rather than correcting, we'll recommend moving that client to Full Fulfillment — openly, not by quietly lowering the review bar.
Can we mix options and tiers across clients?
Yes — everything is priced per client. You might run 3 clients on Review-Only, 4 on Foundation, and 2 on Pro simultaneously, and move any client between options with 30 days' notice.
What if my client only wants Google Ads management, not SEO?
SEO is the anchor — we don't sell supporting services standalone. Google Ads and WordPress work draw from the tier's hour allocation, same as any other work. A partner who wants heavy ads management would point more of their Standard or Pro hours toward Ads and fewer toward content. The flexibility is the point.
What happens if we go over hours in a month?
You get written notice before any work continues beyond the included hours. From there: approve overage at the tier's effective hourly rate, pause the over-hours work until the next cycle, or upgrade the tier pro-rated for the rest of the month. Your choice — no work happens without approval.
Why is the rollover capped at 20%?
It lets agencies carry forward some unused hours during slower months without letting hours build up indefinitely.
Are there setup fees or onboarding charges?
No setup fees, in either option. Onboarding is included in the first month's hours (typically 8–12 hours of the allocation go toward intake, audit, and strategy formation in month one). We don't charge separately for kickoff work.
Do you offer volume discounts for agencies with many clients?
Yes, published and automatic across both options: 3+ active clients earns 5% off, 6+ earns 10%, and 10+ earns 15%. No negotiation needed — the discount applies to your invoice as your client count crosses each threshold, and adjusts down the same way if it drops.
Why no quarterly or annual discount?
Discount lock-ins are something providers offer when they're worried about retention. We're not. If the partnership is working, you'll stay because the work is valuable. If it isn't, no discount should keep you locked in. Monthly billing with 30-day notice is how confident providers price.
What's the minimum commitment to start?
None beyond the month. Most agencies start with a single client — on either option — at standard pricing, judge the work, then scale. Ask for a sample deliverable first if you'd rather see the quality before committing anything at all.
