Signal Sprint — $1,750 one-time

For a founder or team that needs a focused diagnosis before deciding what to build, fix or fund.

What Is Included

  • Kickoff questionnaire and one 30-minute scoping conversation.
  • Review of one defined acquisition or conversion path—not every channel.
  • A relevant measurement health check and targeted competitive / intent review.
  • Three to five prioritized findings, a written 30-day action plan and a baseline scorecard.
  • One 60-minute readout with Benjamin and one consolidated clarification round.

Your Options

Choose one defined question: paid-acquisition quality, Shopify conversion friction, SEO + AEO opportunity, or conversion-measurement reliability. The scoping conversation fixes the path and boundaries before the review.

Delivery ownership: Blackout diagnoses. Your team implements.

Initial term: Typically 7–10 business days after required access and inputs

Initial service fees: $1,750

Where the Scope Stops

Diagnosis and prioritization only. No campaign changes, tracking installation, website development, creative production or ongoing management.

Discuss Signal Sprint

Growth Advisory — $2,750 /month

For a business with internal staff or vendors who can carry out the plan. Not a substitute for hands-on management.

What Is Included

  • Two scheduled 60-minute working sessions each month.
  • Monthly scorecard review, budget and channel guidance, and focused reviews of current priorities.
  • Review of vendor recommendations, an actionable priorities list and a 90-day plan.
  • Up to four consolidated decision-support requests per month through one agreed channel. Each addresses a current priority—not a new audit or production assignment.

Your Options

Use the agreed advisory agenda for channel and budget decisions, conversion priorities, measurement interpretation or vendor recommendations. These are advice topics, not included execution services.

Delivery ownership: Your team executes. Blackout advises.

Initial term: Initial 3-month engagement

Initial service fees: $8,250

Where the Scope Stops

No routine campaign management, dashboard building, development, content production or day-to-day management of your team.

Discuss Growth Advisory

Focused Growth — From $4,500 /month

For a business that knows where it needs help and wants a focused delivery partner.

What Is Included

  • Initial baseline review and a 90-day plan for one primary service area.
  • Agreed implementation, an ordered testing backlog and relevant conversion-path review.
  • Supporting measurement checks and lead / customer-quality review when usable data exists.
  • Weekly operating review of performance and work priorities, plus one monthly decision session with Benjamin.
  • A written scope defining production quantities, included systems, implementation capacity and revision limits.

Your Options

Select one primary service area from the five options below. Exact tasks and quantities are agreed before kickoff; the menu is not an unlimited checklist.

Delivery ownership: Blackout executes one agreed service area.

Initial term: Initial 3-month engagement

Initial service fees: From $13,500

Where the Scope Stops

Supporting checks are not a second full service. A landing-page review is not a website redesign; checking Google Ads conversions is not a CRM attribution rebuild.

Discuss Focused Growth

Demand Engine — From $7,500 /month

For a business that needs two complementary services planned and delivered together.

What Is Included

  • A shared growth plan and hands-on work across two selected service areas.
  • Coordinated campaign and conversion priorities, plus an integrated testing backlog.
  • Agreed measurement improvements, creative / content direction and budget recommendations.
  • Weekly operating review and two scheduled working sessions each month.
  • Monthly performance summary and a strategy refresh every 90 days.
  • Explicit scope for content, creative volume, development and attribution implementation.

Your Options

Example combinations: Google Ads + Meta Ads; Google Ads + landing-page conversion; SEO + AEO + conversion optimization (organic search is one service, conversion the second); Shopify conversion + paid acquisition on one platform; or paid acquisition on one platform + measurement and attribution improvement.

Delivery ownership: Blackout coordinates delivery across two agreed service areas.

Initial term: Initial 4-month engagement

Initial service fees: From $30,000

Where the Scope Stops

Two defined services—not every channel. Creative direction does not mean unlimited production. Shopify work does not automatically add email or retention as a third service.

Discuss Demand Engine

Growth Operator — From $12,500 /month

For a business with execution resources that needs senior growth leadership and operating coordination.

What Is Included

  • Operating assessment and a documented growth plan.
  • Weekly leadership sessions and market, channel and offer prioritization.
  • Budget recommendations, team / vendor coordination, and hiring / role recommendations.
  • Monthly executive reviews and quarterly planning.
  • Selected hands-on work within specifically reserved capacity—not an unlimited execution retainer.
  • You retain final approval over spending, hiring and vendor commitments unless authority is specifically delegated in writing.

Your Options

Leadership priorities can include acquisition economics, channel allocation, offer strategy, conversion, measurement and growth-team coordination. Reserved hands-on tasks, availability and responsibility boundaries are defined in the proposal.

Delivery ownership: Blackout leads. Your team and approved specialists provide production capacity.

Initial term: Initial 6-month engagement

Initial service fees: From $75,000

Where the Scope Stops

Not Demand Engine plus unlimited execution. No full-time availability, entire creative department, unlimited development, sales ownership or unrestricted on-call access. Internal production capacity or an approved specialist budget is required.

Discuss Growth Operator

Scoped Projects — Typically $3,500–$7,500 per project

For a discrete improvement with agreed deliverables and a clear handoff.

What Is Included

  • A written proposal identifying deliverables, included systems and milestones.
  • Documented dependencies, acceptance criteria and revision allowance.
  • Agreed testing, handoff and any post-launch support.
  • A separate estimate when the work exceeds the typical range.

Your Options

Examples: a Google Ads rebuild, bounded tracking repair, attribution cleanup, Shopify conversion sprint, landing-page improvement, SEO + AEO foundation work, or an agreed reporting setup.

Delivery ownership: Delivery and client responsibilities are defined in the proposal.

Initial term: Milestones and timing defined in the proposal

Initial service fees: Quoted project fee

Where the Scope Stops

The range is typical, not a ceiling or a universal website-build price. Full Shopify builds, complex migrations, major integrations and multi-location rollouts require their own estimates.

Discuss Scoped Projects

Execution choices

Five service areas.
A deliberately bounded plan.

Focused Growth selects one primary service area. Demand Engine selects two complementary services. Supporting review does not quietly become another full service. The work below describes available scope—not every task included every month.

Google Ads / Paid Search

Search-intent and account review, agreed campaign structure, search-term analysis, ad-copy testing, bid / budget recommendations and conversion-quality checks. Shopping feeds, Performance Max assets and major account rebuilds require explicit inclusion.

Meta Ads / Paid Social

Agreed campaign setup and optimization, audience and placement review, testing priorities, budget recommendations and feedback on approved creative. Original photography, filming and ongoing creative production are separately scoped.

SEO + AEO / Organic Demand

Technical-access priorities, search-intent mapping, useful answer content, on-page improvements and internal linking. SEO and AEO are one integrated service. Article production, outreach and large-scale development require explicit scope; no ranking or AI-citation guarantee.

Shopify Growth + Conversion

Buying-journey review and prioritized merchandising, product-page, collection-page or existing-theme improvements. The proposal defines templates and changes; full builds, migrations, custom apps and checkout redevelopment are not included by default.

Conversion + Measurement

Conversion-path review, event and reporting priorities, available lead / order-quality reconciliation and agreed measurement fixes. Included platforms, events and implementation limits are defined first; no implied CRM migration or complex integration.

Initial service fees are the monthly starting fee multiplied by the initial term—not an additional fee or a statement that all fees are due upfront. Actual billing, renewal and cancellation terms are agreed in writing.

A smaller budget deserves a smaller scope

Start useful. Not overextended.

Signal Sprint provides a defined diagnosis without a retainer. Growth Advisory works when your people can execute. A Scoped Project can solve a specific problem. If your budget cannot support the required delivery, we will narrow the problem—not promise the same workload for less.

No surprises in the proposal

What changes the price?

Markets + Systems

Brands, locations, offers, storefronts, accounts and integrations change the amount of work. Your scope names the systems included.

Campaigns + Production

Campaign complexity, content, creative, development and revision volume require real capacity. Direction and production are separately identified.

Starting Condition + Speed

Measurement gaps, technical debt, missing assets and accelerated timelines change what it takes to deliver responsibly.

Ownership + Approval

You retain your accounts and data, see the numbers and approve spending. Blackout fees are separate from media; there is no media markup. Deliverables, licensing, handoff and any specialist responsibilities are documented in your agreement.

Straight answers

Before we begin.

Does the price include advertising spend or software?

No. Prices are Blackout service fees in USD. Media, paid software, outside production, specialists and separately approved work are excluded unless expressly included in the proposal. Advertising spend is paid directly to the platforms.

What does “from” mean?

It is the starting service fee for the agreed base scope, not a promise of unlimited capacity. Markets, locations, systems, campaign complexity, production and delivery speed affect the quote. Your proposal confirms the actual fee and included work before signing.

Do Google Ads and Meta Ads count as one service?

No. They are two separate service areas. Focused Growth covers one primary service area. Demand Engine can combine Google Ads and Meta Ads as its two selected services. SEO and AEO, by contrast, are one integrated organic-search service.

How do I choose the right engagement?

Choose Signal Sprint for a focused diagnosis, Growth Advisory when your team can execute, Focused Growth for one hands-on service area, Demand Engine for two coordinated services, Growth Operator for fractional leadership, or Scoped Projects for a defined one-off improvement.

What exactly do I receive from Signal Sprint?

For $1,750 one-time, you receive a kickoff questionnaire, a 30-minute scoping conversation, one defined path review, relevant measurement and competitive / intent checks, three to five prioritized findings, a written 30-day action plan, a baseline scorecard, a 60-minute readout and one consolidated clarification round. It is not implementation.

How long does Signal Sprint take?

The typical timeline is 7–10 business days after the required access and inputs are available. We confirm the path and timing during scoping. Missing inputs or delayed approvals can move the schedule. The 30-day action plan is a roadmap, not 30 days of included execution.

Is the Sprint credited toward future work?

No automatic credit is included in this offer. Any credit toward a later engagement must be explicitly stated in your written proposal before purchase.

What is the minimum initial commitment?

Signal Sprint is $1,750 one-time. Growth Advisory is $2,750/month for three months ($8,250). Focused Growth starts at $4,500/month for three months ($13,500). Demand Engine starts at $7,500/month for four months ($30,000). Growth Operator starts at $12,500/month for six months ($75,000). Scoped Projects use the quoted fee and milestones. These are service fees; excluded costs are additional. Billing, renewal and cancellation terms are confirmed in the agreement.

Who executes the work?

Blackout provides the diagnosis for Signal Sprint; your team implements. Growth Advisory guides your existing team or vendors. Focused Growth and Demand Engine include the agreed hands-on delivery. Growth Operator provides fractional leadership and selected work within reserved capacity; your team or approved specialists supply the remaining production capacity. Benjamin remains directly involved.

What support and meetings are included?

Growth Advisory includes two 60-minute sessions and up to four consolidated decision-support requests monthly through one agreed channel. Focused Growth includes a weekly operating review and one monthly decision session. Demand Engine includes a weekly operating review and two monthly working sessions. Growth Operator includes weekly leadership sessions, monthly executive reviews and quarterly planning. Response expectations and meeting details are agreed before kickoff; none of these packages includes unrestricted on-call support.

Can we change priorities or add work?

Yes, through a written scope review. A new priority can replace planned work or receive an additional quote; it does not silently add another service or unlimited production. Deliverables, systems, implementation capacity, revision allowance and dependencies are agreed in the proposal.

Is a full Shopify website included in the project range?

No. Scoped Projects typically cost $3,500–$7,500 for defined improvements; that range is not a ceiling. Full Shopify builds, complex migrations, major integrations and multi-location rollouts require a separate estimate. Ongoing Shopify conversion work also does not imply a full rebuild.

Do you guarantee rankings, AI recommendations or revenue?

No. We commit to the agreed work, transparent priorities and evidence-led decisions—not guaranteed rankings, indexing, AI recommendations, leads or revenue. Results depend on your offer, market, budget, data, implementation, approvals and sales follow-up.
