Three tiers · $250 · $400 · $1,000 a month

Eight to twelve posts a month, in your voice — and your inbox stays yours.

This is the package owners mean when they ask whether we will "do the marketing." Eight to twelve posts a month for Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram, in your words, about your real jobs and your real prices. Three tiers decide how much of the work leaves your desk: you publish, we publish, or we publish and run the paid distribution too. Everything goes on your own accounts, and you see every set before it runs.

One boundary before anything else, because it is the reason this company exists: no AI conducts a conversation with a customer. We write and we schedule. Comments, messages, review replies and the people who actually call you are answered by a human on your side of the table — not by us and not by a bot wearing your name.

The deliverable

What actually shows up each month?

A set of eight to twelve posts, sent to you for review before a single one goes live, then published on the schedule you approved. Same rhythm every month, so the work is checkable rather than mysterious.

One

Posts written in your voice

Eight to twelve a month, built from your real jobs, your real service list, and prices you set and confirm. We never invent a discount, a rating, a review count, or a years-in-business number.

Two

Three platforms, not nine

Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram. That is where a local service buyer actually looks you up. No LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Nextdoor or X — spreading thin is how posting stops being worth paying for.

Three

Your photos, used well

Real job photos out-perform designed graphics for local trades, so we ask for them at kickoff and chase them every month. At the Full tier we generate images when a month runs short.

Four

A review pass, every set

Nothing publishes that you have not seen. The month's set goes to you first, you strike or change anything, and only then does it get scheduled. That approval step never gets skipped for speed.

Five

Publishing on your accounts

At Managed and Full we publish and schedule directly to your GBP, your Facebook page and your Instagram — as a manager on accounts you own. Access is revocable in one click.

Six

A report that says what happened

Reach, contacts, cost per contact where money was spent, and the one thing we would change next month. It reports the month that happened. It does not project the month that has not.

The menu

Which tier should you actually buy?

Most owners belong in the middle. Drafted suits someone who likes posting and only needs the writing off their plate; Full is for a business that already knows paid distribution works for them.

Tier one

Drafted

$250per month

You publish. We write.

  • 8–12 posts a month in your voice
  • Image suggestions for each post
  • Delivered ready to paste and publish
  • You keep full control of timing
Tier two · most owners

Managed

$400per month

Everything in Drafted, and we publish it.

  • Everything in Drafted
  • Published and scheduled to GBP, Facebook and Instagram
  • On your own accounts, manager access, revocable
  • Monthly report of what ran and what it reached
Tier three

Full

$1,000per month

Plus your own ad budget, paid direct to Meta.

  • Everything in Managed
  • Generated images, plus one short video cut a month
  • Managed Meta campaigns against your budget
  • Further video billed at credit cost, passed through

The honest note on the entry tier: Drafted is a step, not a destination. It is the weakest hourly rate in our book and it exists so a small operator has something real to say yes to. If publishing is the part you keep forgetting, the extra $150 a month for Managed is the part that changes your calendar.

The boundary

What does "doing your marketing" not include?

Said in plain words here, on the page, rather than discovered in month three. Some of these are scope. One of them is a position we will not trade away for a sale.

What you are buying

Content production

  • 8–12 posts a month written in your voice
  • Publishing and scheduling at Managed and above
  • Generated creative and one short video cut at Full
  • Meta campaign build and maintenance at Full, once the gate below is met
  • A monthly report of reach, contacts, and one change we would make
  • Everything published on accounts you own and keep
What you are not buying

Anyone answering for you

  • No replies to comments, messages, DMs or reviews — those stay human, and they stay yours
  • No review generation and no review responses; that is the Review Engine add-on
  • No follower-growth tactics, engagement pods, or follow-for-follow
  • No LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Nextdoor or X
  • No logo, brand identity, photography, website changes, email or SMS
  • No Google Ads — that is a separate conversation, not part of this menu

The first line in that right-hand column costs us sales, and we keep it anyway. Plenty of firms will sell you an assistant that answers your customers while you sleep. We will not, because a customer who finds out is a customer you lose twice — once on the job and once in the review.

Posting is also not a ranking lever, and we will not sell it as one. An active Google Business Profile is one input the engines read, so this work and the visibility work help each other — but if what you want is to be named in AI answers, the audit and Found First are the products that touch that.

Paid distribution

When do you actually run the campaigns?

Only after boosted posts on your own page have brought cost per contact in under about $25, across two consecutive campaigns. Until that number exists for your business, the answer to "can you run our ads" is not yet, and here is what we would need to see first.

The gate

Proof before spend

We start with boosts, measure cost per contact, and only propose managed campaigns once that figure holds under roughly $25 twice in a row. It is a gate, not a guideline, and it protects your money before it protects our margin.

The budget

Yours, paid to Meta direct

Floor is $300–500 a month, billed by Meta to your card on your ad account. Never fronted, never marked up. The fee is the fee and the media is yours — there is no hidden margin inside your spend.

The ceiling

What we will not tell you

No promised volume, no promised cost, no reach commitment, no projection of next month. The report says what was spent, what it bought, and what we changed. That is a real product and most owners have never had it.

If you cannot fund the floor, you stay on boosts and nobody is embarrassed about it. A starved campaign teaches you nothing except that the budget was too small, and you will remember it as "ads don't work."

Price and terms

Every term that matters, on the page.

$250 · $400 · $1,000per month

  • No setup fee, ever. Not at any tier. You pay for the month you are in.
  • Billed monthly in advance. No minimum term, no annual plan, no onboarding charge.
  • Cancel any month by email. No notice period, no cancellation fee, and no exit call to sit through.
  • Everything stays yours. Every post, image, video cut and campaign lives on your accounts and stays live after you stop. Nothing is deleted and nothing is clawed back.
  • Ad budget is separate and always yours. Billed by Meta to your card. It stops when you stop it, not when we do.
  • Move tiers any month. Up or down, effective the next billing month, no re-onboarding.
  • No credits. Credits reduce a setup fee, and this is a retainer with no setup fee — so nothing credits into it and it credits into nothing. The $99 audit's credit toward a package is unaffected.
  • Social is its own product. Found First is a one-time build and does not include posting; this menu is where social lives, at whatever frequency you want. You are never billed twice for the same set.
Where this sits

Three steps, and this one is not the first.

AI Visibility Audit

Twelve buyer questions across three engines, every answer kept on file, with a results grid and a prioritized fix list. Delivered in five business days. It is the baseline everything else is measured against.

From $5,000 setup

Found First

The execution work on the surfaces you cannot buy — profile, directories, site structure, structured data, content. $5,000 one-time for trade services; $10,000–$15,000 one-time for compliance-heavy industries. Reviews and monthly monitoring are add-ons.

$250–$1,000 a month · this page

Social Posts

Frequency in the feed, and at the top tier paid distribution behind it. A good after-sale and a poor entry: selling posting to a business whose baseline nobody measured means neither of us can say later what the posting did.

Comparing $400 a month of posting to a $5,000 one-time Found First build on price alone compares two different products. One puts content in a feed a local audience scrolls. The other works on what AI engines and search read when someone asks who to call. If you can only buy one this quarter, buy the one that matches the problem you actually have.

Questions

Social posts, answered plainly

How many posts do I get, and who writes them?

Eight to twelve a month at every tier, written by us in your voice from your jobs, your services and prices you have confirmed. Every offer, price, rating or review count in a post is a number you set — we do not invent one. Ratings and review counts used in creative are re-checked against your live profile each quarter, because a stale star rating in an ad is a claim that has quietly become false.

Do you reply to comments, messages or reviews for me?

No. Replies stay human and they stay yours. No AI conducts a conversation with a customer — that is the position this company is built on, and it is the clearest difference between us and the firms selling automated answering. We write and schedule the posts; the conversations that follow belong to your team.

Which platforms, and why not more?

Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram — the three places a local service buyer checks whether you are real before calling. Adding LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Nextdoor or X would spread the same eight to twelve posts thinner without reaching more of the people who hire tradespeople in your service area.

Whose accounts is everything published on?

Yours. Your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, your Instagram, your Meta ad account, your card. We are added as a manager and you can remove that access in one click. Nothing is built on a SummitCited-owned asset, so you keep every post, every image, every campaign and your entire ad history.

Will posting get me into AI answers or improve my ranking?

Not on its own, and we will not sell it that way. Posting is content production, not a ranking lever. An active profile is one input the engines read, so the two products help each other, but if being named in AI answers is the goal then the $99 audit and Found First are the products that work on that directly. This one moves the feed.

When would you run paid campaigns for me?

Only inside the Full tier, and only after boosted posts on your page have produced cost per contact under roughly $25 across two consecutive campaigns. Before that number exists, we do not know whether paid distribution works for your offer, and spending your money to find out slowly is not a plan. The ad budget floor is $300–500 a month, billed by Meta to your card, never fronted and never marked up.

Can I cancel, and what happens to the work?

Cancel any month by email. No notice period, no cancellation fee, no exit conversation. Everything already published stays live on your accounts and stays yours. Cancellation stops future production only — nothing is deleted, and your ad budget stops when you stop it rather than when we do.

I already have Found First. Is this the same thing twice?

No. Found First is a one-time build with no retainer and no social posting in it. This menu is the whole of what we do on social — monthly frequency, and at Full, paid distribution and generated creative. Whatever cadence you want, it is bought here, and you are never billed twice for the same set of posts.
