Pricing

Three tiers. No surprise line items.

Retainers are priced by the size of the monthly content library, not by minutes of meeting time. Pick the tier that matches how often you want to show up — we'll make sure every deliverable is worth the spend.

Pricing FAQ

What's actually behind the number.

Why a 6-month minimum on retainers?

Content that moves the needle compounds — the first 60 days are setup and signal, months 3–6 are when the library hits critical mass and patients start describing you the way the content does. Anything shorter doesn't do you justice, and we'd rather say no than set you up to feel like it didn't work.

What's not included in the monthly fee?

Talent fees (if we cast outside your team), paid ad spend, location rentals beyond your office, and travel outside metro Detroit. All of those are quoted in advance — never back-charged.

Do you offer a discount for annual prepay?

Yes — 10% off when paid annually up front. We'll send the invoice after the fit call if you want to go that route.

Can we upgrade or downgrade mid-term?

Upgrade anytime — we'll just adjust the next invoice. Downgrade requires 30-day notice and usually happens at a month boundary.

What if I just need one video made?

Then a retainer is the wrong fit and we'll tell you so on the call. One-off videos start at $1,500 depending on scope, but we usually refer those to production partners who specialize in it.


Pick a tier on the call. Or we'll tell you it's not time yet.

We're not the right fit for every practice and we won't pretend otherwise. Fifteen minutes on the phone usually tells us both whether to move forward.
