Managed Services
For work you'd rather have us do than do yourself. These are done-for-you engagements — not paywall add-ons.
If you want:
- A website you didn't build (custom design, custom build) — that's a Managed Website engagement.
- Monthly SEO work that improves your search rankings over time — that's Managed SEO.
- Email marketing campaigns designed, written, and sent for you — that's Managed Email.
- SMS follow-up campaigns with compliance handled — that's Managed SMS.
- A bespoke integration built into your DIY site — that's Custom Integration (already documented as an add-on).
Managed Services are separate from the DIY paywall. You can be on DIY Basic ($29/mo) and buy a Managed SEO retainer on top; you can also be a pure Managed customer with no DIY subscription at all.
Managed SEO
Ongoing, done-for-you search-engine optimization on your site.
What we do.
- Monthly keyword research and target list.
- Content briefs for new pages or blog posts.
- On-page optimization work (meta tags, headings, internal linking, image alt text).
- Link-building outreach.
- Monthly reporting: rankings, traffic, wins.
How it works. Ongoing monthly retainer. First 30 days is a site audit + strategy plan. Months 2+ are execution against the plan.
What it costs. Retainer starts around $499 / month and scales with scope. A local business with 3–5 target keywords lands near the starting price; national-scale competitive SEO scales higher.
What we won't do. Anything that violates Google's guidelines — no link farms, no keyword stuffing, no hidden text. Real work only.
If you want SEO tools (self-serve) rather than SEO work, Plus and Unlimited include those in the DIY plan.
Managed Email
Done-for-you email marketing — templates designed, campaigns written, segments defined, sends scheduled.
What we do.
- Design and build email templates that match your brand.
- Segment your list (customers, prospects, dormant, VIP).
- Write and schedule monthly campaigns (newsletter, offers, seasonal outreach).
- Post-send reporting: open rates, click rates, conversions.
What it costs. Starts around $299 / month for a monthly newsletter cadence. Higher-frequency programs (weekly campaigns, automated flows) scale from there.
What you bring. A list (or we help you start collecting one via the website), an ESP account (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Klaviyo, or similar). If you don't have an ESP account yet, we'll recommend one that fits your list size and budget.
Note. Self-serve email marketing (build-your-own campaigns from inside the portal) is a product we're planning, not one we have today. For now, done-for-you is the way we deliver email.
Managed SMS
SMS follow-up campaigns with compliance handled.
What we do.
- Provision your SMS phone number (via Twilio or similar).
- Handle the TCPA compliance setup (opt-in language, opt-out flows, record-keeping).
- Design and write follow-up sequences (post-inquiry, post-purchase, re-engagement).
- Monthly reporting.
What it costs. Starts around $299 / month + setup. Setup covers number provisioning, compliance registration, and initial sequence design (typically $500–$1,000 one-time).
What you bring. A list of contacts who have consented to SMS follow-up (or we help you collect consent going forward via web forms).
Why this isn't a paywall add-on. SMS compliance is not a checkbox. Getting it wrong means real regulatory exposure — sending SMS to people who haven't consented can be a per-message fine. So this is a managed conversation, not a self-serve turn-on.
Managed Website
If you'd rather not build the site yourself, we'll build it for you.
What we do.
- Discovery call to understand your business, brand, and goals.
- Custom design (not just template-picking).
- Full build in our DIY platform (so you can maintain it yourself afterward if you want).
- Content migration from your existing site.
- Launch coordination.
- Post-launch support.
What it costs. Managed Website engagements start around $3,500 one-time for a small business site (5–10 pages), plus the ongoing DIY plan of your choice ($29–$99/mo) for hosting.
What you bring. Your brand assets, existing content, and a point of contact who can review and approve along the way.
Custom Integration
Same product as the DIY paywall's Custom Integration option — a scoped, fixed-quote build for anything not covered by the standard add-ons. Repeated here for completeness.
- CRM syncs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel).
- Payment gateways beyond Stripe.
- Third-party API integrations.
- Bespoke widgets and workflows.
Quote within 2 business days. Small integrations start around $500; mid-scope $1,500–$5,000.
