Payment Terms
✅ You Pay Nothing Up Front
We build your entire presence before a single invoice is due. The $3,500 setup fee is only issued after you approve everything in Week 4 — no risk while we do the work.
📅 Invoice Timing
Monthly invoices are sent on the 1st of each month. All invoices are due within 7 days of issuance. A 1.5%/month late fee applies after 14 days.
🔧 What the Tech Fee Covers
The $500/mo Platform & Technology Fee covers your scheduling platform, video and infographic production tools, and cloud storage — built into every monthly retainer.
📈 Retainer Ramp
Your retainer scales with output as we move from launch to full cadence. It is not a surprise — every step is laid out above, month by month.
💳 Ad Budget Is Separate & Always Yours to Control
When paid advertising begins in Month 4, your ad budget is paid directly to Google and Meta — never through us. The amount is entirely at your discretion — typically $500–$1,000/mo, scaled up or down based on the return you're seeing. Our ad management is 17% of spend with a $500 minimum, and we only run ads behind content that already proved itself organically.
