Why the $99 Model Exists
Small business owners get pitched constantly: $5,000 websites, $2,000-a-month retainers, SEO packages nobody can explain. Most local businesses don't need any of that. They need the basics done right, kept current, and someone honest watching over them. That's what Proven Ground is: one plan, one price, everything a local service business actually needs online.
We Eat Our Own Cooking
Proven Ground's playbook isn't theory. We run Clean Slate, our own residential cleaning company, on the exact same system we sell, and it brings in around 30 calls a month. When we recommend something for your business, it's because we've spent our own money proving it works. See the numbers.
How We Approach Recommendations
We won't sell you a service you don't need, because there's nothing extra to sell. Everything is $99/month. If Google is your biggest opportunity, we'll say so. If your pricing is the problem, we'll say that instead. If paid ads don't make sense for you yet, we'll tell you, even though agreeing with you would be easier. The whole model only works if the advice is straight.
