Most clients see measurable delivery in the first 30 days (content live, links acquired, AI visibility tracked), with compounding ranking and traffic gains over months 2–3.
What does it cost?
Only 10 slots. We set up and run both agents ourselves — this is not a dashboard we sell to everyone. $216 start fee to claim a slot and begin building both agents. When you are happy: $1,000 go-live fee + $500/month to run them, with daily updates. If you are not happy at any point, we refund the $1,000 go-live fee. In full. The $216 start fee is how you claim a slot. $500/month is for the month we already ran the agents. Scoped to CTO/Technical Co-Founders shipping e-commerce growth, not a generic agency retainer.
