Question 1

How much does this cost?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $150/month for Guided. Coached is $500/month for the first 3 months, then drops to $150/month. Done For You is $800/month for the first 3 months, then drops to $150/month. Pricing structure is intentional — the heavy lifting happens early; maintenance is the same for everyone.

Question 2

Why does everyone end up at the same maintenance rate?

Accepted Answer

Because the actual ongoing work — monitoring, light adjustments, monthly audits — takes about the same effort regardless of where you started. The difference between the tiers is how much I do for you during the setup phase.

Question 3

How long is the commitment?

Accepted Answer

None. Pay month-to-month. You can pause or step away anytime. If you commit to a longer engagement up front, we can talk about a better rate — but it’s never required.

Question 4

What if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You stop paying, we stop working. No clawbacks, no "final month" charges, no drama. Anything I’ve done is yours to keep.

Question 5

Do you run ads for clients?

Accepted Answer

No. This is intentional. I help businesses get found through the things you actually own — your website, your Google listing, your directory presence, your reviews. If you want to run ads later, great, but that’s not what I do.

Question 6

Do you only work with Sacramento businesses?

Accepted Answer

No. I work with dog businesses anywhere. Local SEO works the same way in any city — only the keywords change.

Question 7

What if I don’t have a website yet?

Accepted Answer

Then we build the plan together. Sometimes you don’t even need a big website to start — a clean Google Business Profile and directory setup can take you a long way. Plan on a longer timeline since we’re starting from scratch, and we’ll pick the tier that fits how much you want to do vs. how much you want me to do.

Question 8

I run a rescue, not a business. Does this apply to me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and I’d love to help. Rescues need visibility for adopters, donors, and volunteers. Same mechanics, different goal. I offer rescue-specific pricing.

Question 9

I’m a breeder. Will you work with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if you’re an ethical, reputable breeder. I help good breeders get found by the right families, which honestly helps the dogs as much as it helps the business. Reputable breeders shouldn’t be losing visibility to puppy mills and bad backyard operations, and that’s a fixable problem.

Question 10

What if I’m not sure what tier I need?

Accepted Answer

Start with the intake. I’ll tell you honestly. If a free hour of advice is all you need, I’ll give you that and we can call it a day.

Question 11

Are you a dog trainer or a marketer?

Accepted Answer

I’m a business owner. Dog training is what I do; the business side is what I’ve gotten good at out of necessity. That’s the whole point — I built this for people like me.

Question 12

Do you help with AI and ChatGPT visibility, or just Google?

Accepted Answer

Both — and honestly, that’s the whole point now. Getting found on Google is still the foundation (the AI reads Google and the rest of the web to decide who to recommend). But I also check whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google’s AI actually name you when someone asks for a recommendation — see who they’re naming instead, and fix the reasons you’re getting skipped. Most “SEO people” aren’t doing this yet. I am.
