Pricing

One number. One promise. Three ways in.

Built for the studios, dojos, and boutique gyms that compete on community, craft, and word-of-mouth — and lose new students because the front desk can't text back at 9pm Sunday. We fix that. With a guarantee.

Dance Studios Martial Arts Boutique Gyms + any local SMB

If every new inquiry isn't answered in under 5 minutes, the setup fee comes back. You keep everything we built — and you see every timestamp in your own dashboard.

The Two-Part Guarantee

The system works. And the numbers move. Or your setup is refunded.

Most agencies promise "more leads" with no measurable definition and no way to verify it. The Engine ships with two guarantees — one on the system I build, one on the result it produces. Both are measurable from your own dashboard, in numbers you can see at any time.

1. The 5-Minute Promise. From the day your AI lead-response system goes live, every new inquiry through your website forms, your Google Business Profile, or your tracked phone number gets a personalized text or email reply in under 5 minutes — 24/7, weekends, holidays, after hours, all of it. Every inquiry timestamp and every reply timestamp is logged in your Owner Dashboard. If response time slips above 5 minutes more than 3 times in your first 90 days post-launch, I refund the full $4,500 setup. You keep the website, the GBP work, the AI system, the dashboard, the templates, and every bonus.
2. The Inquiry Growth Promise. Every inquiry through your new website forms, GBP, and tracked phone is logged in your dashboard. We measure your 30-day pre-launch baseline together at kickoff (from your existing GBP Insights, website forms, and phone logs — or default to 8 inquiries/month if no clean baseline exists). If your monthly inquiry count isn't at least 50% higher in days 60–90 post-launch than that baseline, I refund the full $4,500 setup. Same rules — you keep everything we built.
Why this is the strongest guarantee in the market: Other agencies promise "more leads" but neither side can independently verify it — too many variables. I guarantee both the system I built (5-minute response) AND the measurable result it produces (50% inquiry lift), and both numbers live in your dashboard. You see the data I see. The guarantee defends itself.

Conditions: launch on schedule, the AI system stays connected to your forms/GBP/phone for the full 90 days, the baseline is captured together at kickoff, and obvious spam (bot-detected, irrelevant) doesn't count. That's it.

Why this isn't another agency

You'll own everything. You'll understand everything. You'll never need me as a permanent dependency.

Common questions

Answers to what owners ask me first.

I already have a website. Do I have to scrap it?
Probably, yes — but only if it's hurting you. Most studio sites I look at are 3+ years old, slow on phones, missing a clear trial-class CTA, and invisible on Google. The Engine includes a full rebuild because patching is usually more expensive in the long run. If your current site is actually fine, we'll skip the rebuild and credit the cost back into other work.
Can't I just use Squarespace or Wix and call it a day?
You can. A Squarespace site is fine. It just won't text back the parent who inquired at 9pm Sunday, it won't update your Google Business Profile, and it won't tell you which Instagram post sent that trial. The website is one piece of four. Squarespace is a one-piece solution.
I already use Jackrabbit / MindBody / DanceStudio-Pro. Does this replace it?
No. Those platforms run your schedule, your tuition billing, and your enrollment. We don't touch any of that. The Engine sits in front of them — capturing the new lead, qualifying them, getting them onto a trial class. Once they're in, your studio management software takes over. Two systems, one handoff.
What if I want to cancel?
Engine has a 6-month minimum (3 months for Founding Members to keep the offer honest). After that, month-to-month — give me 30 days notice and you're done. The website, GBP, AI system, and dashboard are all in your accounts, so you keep everything. No held-hostage situation.
How long until I actually see results?
AI lead-response goes live by day 14, so every inquiry starts getting answered in < 5 minutes immediately. The website + GBP improvements push organic discovery up over 60–90 days. The full SEO compounding shows in months 3–6. The 5-Minute Promise covers a 90-day window because that's enough time to prove the system performs consistently — not just once, but every day, on every inquiry.
What if you go out of business?
You're fine. Your website is in your hosting account. Your GBP is owned by you. The AI runs in your GoHighLevel account (or whichever platform we use). The dashboard lives in your Google account. I'm one human, but if I disappeared tomorrow, you'd lose monthly maintenance — not the systems themselves.
Why are you cheaper than the big Boston agencies?
I'm solo, focused, and don't have a sales team to feed. The $10,000+ minimums at downtown agencies pay for account managers, account directors, and lunches. You pay for the work, not the org chart.
What if I'm not a dance studio, martial arts school, or gym?
I work with anyone — that's just the niche I'm spending most of my time in right now. The Engine works for any local service business where new customer acquisition is the bottleneck. Dentist, therapist, salon, restaurant, contractor — same playbook, different copy. Apply, and we'll figure out if it's a fit on the call.
