Which model fits which stage
A useful way to choose is by how sure you are about the problem.
- You don't know where the leak is. Start with a project: the funnel audit. It gives you a measured baseline and a ranked plan, and you can stop there.
- You know the problem and have people to fix it. Hourly consulting suits you. Book a few sessions to shape the plan, then review progress monthly.
- You know the problem and need hands. A retainer covers execution: conversion testing, follow-up systems, campaigns and reporting.
- You'd rather share the risk. Ask whether the Growth Partner Program fits your business. It suits companies with clear, measurable revenue and room to grow.
What drives the cost
Within each range, five factors decide where your engagement lands:
- Number of funnel stages in scope. Fixing reply speed alone costs less than running demand, conversion and follow-up together.
- Channels. Each additional ad platform, location or language adds setup and management time. French-language work for Quebec customers adds to the scope.
- State of your data. If tracking is missing or accounts are held by a former vendor, recovery adds hours at the start.
- Testing volume. A business running two conversion tests a month needs more build time than one running a test a quarter.
- How much your team does. The more execution your staff take on, the more the work shifts to cheaper advisory time.
A worked budget check
Before choosing a retainer, check it against your own numbers. Suppose a retainer of $3,500 a month plus GST/HST, and your average gross profit per new customer is $700. The retainer pays for itself when the work adds five extra customers a month ($3,500 ÷ $700). If your funnel audit shows a realistic lift of eight to ten customers from better follow-up alone, the retainer is easy to justify. If the realistic lift is two, start with hourly advice instead.
Remember to count ad spend separately from our fees; it runs through ad accounts in your business's name.
What's confirmed in writing
Every engagement starts with a written proposal covering scope, price, timeline, expected outcomes, payment milestones and notice terms. Anything not in the proposal isn't promised. If you have a question about a fee or a policy, ask and we'll answer it in the proposal itself.
How payment usually works
Projects are paid by milestone, so you pay as defined pieces of work are delivered rather than all at once. Retainers are billed monthly. Hourly consulting is billed for the time used. The exact schedule, and the notice terms for ending a retainer, are written into the proposal.
Next step
The free 30-minute consultation is the easiest way to find out which model fits. Bring your rough monthly figures for visits, enquiries and sales. See the FAQ for common pricing questions, or go to contact to call, text or email.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a long-term contract?
We offer engagements without lock-in. Notice periods, payment schedules and any other terms are set out in writing in your proposal before work begins, so you can read them before you commit.
Does the retainer include ad spend?
No. The retainer covers our strategy and execution time. Ad spend is billed by the platforms to accounts in your business's name, and how it is handled is confirmed in writing in your proposal.
What is the Growth Partner Program?
It is the group's performance-based option: Ali puts his time in first and is paid according to results both sides can measure. Each partnership is priced individually, and only a limited number are open at once.
Do prices include GST or HST?
No. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Sales tax is GST/HST by province.
Why are prices shown as ranges?
Because the scope of growth work varies a lot between a single-location shop and a multi-site company. The range tells you where you are likely to land; the proposal gives you the exact figure.
