Who This Is For

The Monthly Growth Retainer is built for businesses that:

  • Already have a lead gen system running in GHL or another platform
  • Completed the 30-Day Sprint and want to keep the system managed and optimized
  • Want predictable monthly costs instead of hiring an internal marketer ($4K-$7K/mo)
  • Don't want to manually optimize ads and automations every week

How It Works (The Path to Retainer)

Step 1: Start with $27 AI Readiness Audit

Assess your business and identify which automations will drive the most leads. Get a custom action plan.

Step 2: Move to $497 30-Day Pipeline Sprint

Build your complete lead generation system: CRM setup, automation sequences, ad launch, and live reporting.

Step 3: Upgrade to $297/Month Retainer

Once your system is live and generating leads, we manage and optimize it month-to-month. No contract, cancel anytime.

No 12-Month Contracts Here

This is month-to-month. No long-term commitment. No cancellation fees. If your system stops generating ROI, you can cancel. If you find another agency you like better, you can leave. We stay competitive and deliver results every month because we have to keep earning your business. That's how good agencies operate.

Prestige Case Study

Local Service Business — 6 Months on Retainer

$3,400+ Generated Per Month (On Average)

The Details: Started with the sprint in Month 1 ($497 one-time + $1,000 ad spend). Generated $3,400 in revenue. Months 2-6, we managed the system at $297/month. Consistently generated $2,800-$3,800 in attributed revenue each month. Customer acquisition cost dropped from $27 to $22/lead as we optimized sequences and ad targeting. After 6 months, they've recovered the initial sprint investment 50x over.

What Happens to Ad Spend on the Retainer?

Ad spend is separate from the retainer. You control the ad budget (typically $500-$2,000/month depending on your goals). That goes directly to Google or Facebook. The $297/month retainer covers our time to manage the system, optimize performance, and report. You can adjust ad spend up or down anytime. We'll recommend increases only if ROI is positive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to do the Sprint before the Retainer?
Almost always, yes. The Sprint builds your system from scratch. The Retainer manages an existing system. If you already have a lead gen system running in GHL, we can discuss starting the Retainer directly—but we still recommend the Sprint because it optimizes what you have.
What if I stop the Retainer? What happens to my system?
Your system stays live. All your automations, ad campaigns, and CRM data are yours. You own everything. If you cancel the retainer, you manage the system yourself from that point forward. No handoff fees, no data loss.
Can I pause the Retainer instead of canceling?
Yes. If you're going through a slow season or need to pause, you can put the retainer on hold for up to 90 days. When you're ready to resume, your account is ready to go. No restart fees.
How often will you optimize my ads and automations?
We monitor daily, but optimize weekly. Ad targeting, spend, and creative are reviewed every week. Email sequences are analyzed monthly and updated based on performance. CRM is cleaned monthly. You'll see changes week-to-week as we test and learn what works best for your business.
What if my system stops generating leads?
We investigate immediately. Usually it's market saturation, audience fatigue, or ad fatigue (ads get old and stop converting). We refresh creative, test new audiences, or adjust sequences. If we can't turn it around in 30 days, you're not obligated to continue the retainer. Upside down doesn't work for either of us.
Is there a minimum term?
No minimum. You can cancel after Month 1 if you want. But fair warning: systems usually need 2-3 months to really show their potential. Most clients stay much longer because the results speak for themselves.
Do you manage ad spend or just the CRM side?
Both. We optimize Google and Facebook campaigns (targeting, bidding, creative). We manage your GHL automations and sequences. We clean your CRM data. It's a full managed service. You give us access and budget, we handle everything else.

Why Monthly and Not Annual?

We price month-to-month because we know not every business is a fit forever. Retainers work best when the client can cancel anytime they want. When you can leave, we have to earn your business every month. That motivates us to deliver results every single month. Clients on month-to-month retainers with us stay an average of 8 months because the ROI keeps them. That's way better than forcing a 12-month contract where clients feel trapped.
