Managed Local Growth

A practical marketing system for steady local growth.

Use a defined amount of monthly capacity on the marketing work that matters most, with senior strategy, coordinated execution, and clear measurement.

Most local businesses aren't short on effort — they're short on coordination. A freelancer runs ads, someone else built the website two years ago, nobody owns the priorities, and nobody's measuring whether any of it is working. Managed Local Growth puts one senior owner on that system.

Who this is for

Established local and regional businesses with valuable customers, one or more locations or service territories, existing marketing activity, and a need for senior coordination — not a full internal marketing department.

How the capacity model works

Managed Local Growth is not a rigid package and not an unlimited retainer. Each month, we agree on priorities together, then apply the available monthly capacity — expressed in work blocks, never in hours — to the highest-value work.

Monthly rhythm

Review performance, open work, and current conditions
Agree on the next priority list together
Assign available monthly capacity
Coordinate execution and specialists
Report what was completed, what changed, and what's next

Capacity levels

Capacity is expressed in work blocks — a unit of prioritized production capacity — never in hours or an hourly rate.

Focused

$1,500/mo

A narrower monthly capacity for businesses starting to bring their marketing under one senior owner.

Growth

$3,000/mo

A broader monthly capacity for businesses actively investing across several priority-activated services.

Partner

$5,000/mo

The broadest monthly capacity for businesses running growth across multiple channels or locations at once.

Core monthly relationship

These form the continuing management relationship — they don't promise equal production work in every area every month.

Priority-activated growth services

Applied when the audit, budget, performance data, or business needs justify them — not delivered by default every month.

Reporting and review

Every month, we review what was completed, what changed, and what should happen next — in plain language, tied back to the priorities we agreed on.

Term, rollover, and pass-through costs

Minimum term — three months
Rollover — unused capacity rolls over one month, then expires. It does not accumulate indefinitely and does not convert to a refund.
Pass-through costs — ad spend, freelancer time, software, printing, photography, and media purchases are always billed separately from the monthly fee.

Work is prioritized collaboratively and completed within the available monthly capacity. Managed Local Growth is not an unlimited-services agreement.

The Local Search & AI Visibility Audit is strongly recommended first. If you move into Managed Local Growth afterward, the audit fee is credited toward your first month.
