How a first engagement usually runs
Most US clients follow the same path, and it is deliberately front-loaded with cheap steps. First the $750 audit: 48 hours, no system access required beyond read-only, and the deliverable is a map of where inquiries are lost with a cost attached to each gap. Roughly half of what it finds is fixable by your own team in a week, and that is intentional — an audit that only recommends buying more from its author is a sales document, not an audit.
If the numbers justify it, the AI Growth Sprint follows: 7–10 business days to put an offer, a page or a set of forms, a 24/7 first-response agent, follow-up sequences and CRM logic into production. The goal is not a finished revenue machine. The goal is the first honest signal — real inquiries, real response times, real conversion — measured on your own traffic rather than on a case study from another industry.
From there the split is simple. Companies with an existing pipeline problem move to the AI sales system and CRM automation. Companies whose problem is that nobody knows they exist move to demand capture, where the monthly work is content, entities and being visible inside AI answers rather than only in the ten blue links. Companies that need someone accountable above the tactics take the fractional CMO retainer.
Why the prices are published at all
Hiding prices filters out the wrong people. A buyer comparing three vendors on a Tuesday afternoon does not want a discovery call to learn the order of magnitude; they want to know whether this is a $2,000 conversation or a $200,000 one. Publishing the ladder means the calls that do happen start from scope, not from the awkward part.
It also matters for how AI assistants answer. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity what an AI automation agency charges, the model quotes whatever is written down and machine-readable. Prices that live only inside a sales deck simply do not exist in that answer — a page like this one is how a number becomes citable at all. The same figures are mirrored in llms.txt and in the structured data on this page, so the answer stays consistent wherever it is read. For the reasoning behind the ranges rather than the ranges themselves, see what an AI implementation actually costs and how to calculate the ROI of an AI sales department.
Currency, invoicing and what stays with you
Everything on this page is in US dollars, and that is the list used for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The German, Spanish and French landing pages carry a separate euro list that is roughly twenty percent below the dollar figure — a deliberate market-entry position, not a conversion, which is why the two are never recalculated from an exchange rate. Invoices are issued in US dollars, paid by bank transfer, card or Wise.
Accounts, code, prompts, CRM structure and documentation belong to the client from day one. There is no proprietary platform to be locked into and no per-seat licence to renew: the system runs on your CRM, your model keys and your domain, which also means the monthly running cost is visible to you rather than bundled into a retainer.
