Pricing & Plans

One plan.
Everything handled.

Website, ads, local SEO, video and reporting — run for you under a single monthly plan. Your website is built first, free; your plan starts only when you approve it.

Prices in AUD inc. GST, set automatically for your region — billing is always in AUD.

Your ad budget stays yours.

*The plan price is our management fee — strategy, campaign builds, creative, testing and weekly optimisation. Your advertising budget is separate and paid straight to Meta and Google from your own ad accounts. You see every dollar in your ads manager, you own every audience we build, and you keep the accounts if you ever leave. Most clients start with $600–$2,000 a month; we'll recommend a number when we plan your campaigns. Spend above your plan's cap is managed at +10% of the excess — for example, spending $3,000 in a month on Starter (cap $2,000) adds $100 to that month's invoice. Worked example, all-in: Starter at $999 + a $900 ad budget paid straight to Meta ≈ $1,900 a month, everything included.

One-off onboarding $490waived when you start on quarterly billing. Month to month after that, cancel with 30 days' notice. Every plan lists exactly what ships each month — miss a deliverable and that month is on us. Prices inc. GST; billed in AUD. Full detail in our Terms of Service.

Questions

Good to know.

The fine print, in plain English.

Is ad spend included?

No — and that's deliberate. Your advertising budget is paid by you, directly to Meta and Google, in your own ad accounts. The plan price is our management fee: strategy, campaign builds, creative, testing and weekly optimisation. Agencies that bundle spend usually mark it up; separating it keeps our incentives clean. Most clients start with $600–$2,000 a month in ad spend.

What exactly is an "AI video ad"?

A short-form vertical ad up to 30 seconds: scripted for your business, voiced, produced with AI actors, captioned, branded, with a call to action — sized for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube Shorts. Each includes one revision round and full paid-usage rights. Delivered in 1080p (the resolution every platform actually serves); Scale includes two 4K hero ads a month. Unused videos don't roll over — we plan them fresh each month.

What counts as a website update?

A task up to 30 minutes — text changes, swapping photos, opening hours, menu and price edits, adding an offer. On Scale, "unlimited" means fair use: one request in progress at a time, next-business-day start. New pages, features and redesigns are quoted separately, always before we start.

Do I really get the website before paying anything?

Yes. On any growth plan we design and build your new site first, free. Your subscription starts the day you approve it. On a website-only build, the same trust applies — you see the finished site and pay on approval.

What's the onboarding fee for?

Your first weeks are the heaviest: the website build, tracking setup, ad account configuration, Google Business optimisation and campaign planning — genuinely 12–22 hours of senior work. The one-off $490 covers part of that, and it's waived entirely when you start on quarterly billing.

Can I cancel? What happens to the website?

Cancel any time with 30 days' notice. Your domain and content are always yours. The site becomes yours outright after 12 months on any growth plan; leave earlier and buy it out for $1,490 minus $125 per month you've paid — or keep it live on the $199/mo Care Plan.

Why are prices shown in my currency?

We auto-detect your region and show indicative prices so you can gauge the investment at a glance. Your quote and invoices are always confirmed in writing, in Australian dollars, GST inclusive.
