Current guidance on timing, pricing, guarantees, and growth systems.

An AI Growth System connects the parts of marketing and sales that influence discovery, lead capture, follow-up, conversion, retention, and measurement. AI and automation can improve parts of the workflow, but the system still depends on accurate business information, human review, and real customer data.

AI can help with research, analysis, drafting, personalization, workflow automation, and faster iteration. Traditional fundamentals still matter: positioning, offers, technical quality, customer intent, measurement, compliance, and proof. AI is most useful when it improves a sound process rather than replacing one.

There is no responsible universal timeline. The starting site, competition, technical condition, authority, local signals, content quality, search demand, and implementation pace all matter. Establish a baseline and measure progress instead of relying on a fixed 60-, 90-, or 180-day promise.

Black Tie focuses primarily on service businesses, including home services, dental, healthcare, law firms, med spas, and professional services. The approach can also fit other businesses when the growth problem and customer journey are a good match.

No ranking, lead-volume, revenue, or fixed-timeline outcome is guaranteed. Black Tie commits to clear scope, measurable work, transparent reporting, evidence-based recommendations, and ownership rules documented in the engagement.

Local SEO adds Google Business Profile, Maps visibility, reviews, citations, location relevance, and service-area signals to the broader technical, content, authority, and on-page work used in organic SEO.

Use your economics and the actual constraint, not a generic budget percentage. Black Tie's ongoing retainers start at $1,250/month for Visibility, $2,500/month for Growth, and $4,500/month for Market Leader, plus onboarding. Standalone websites start at $2,500, local SEO at $750/month and comprehensive SEO at $1,500/month.

Yes. If one problem is clearly limiting growth, it can make sense to fix that first. The Growth Audit is designed to help prioritize the next useful system rather than automatically expanding scope.
