Small Business Marketing Consulting Without the Agency Price
Proven Ground helps you figure out which marketing problem your business actually has, then fix it. Strategy and guidance are included in the $99/month plan.
Sometimes the Problem Isn't Your Website
Sometimes you're advertising in the wrong place. Sometimes your competitors have a better offer. Sometimes your pricing is wrong. Sometimes customers just don't understand why they should choose you. Proven Ground helps you figure out which problem you actually have before you spend another dollar fixing the wrong one.
What Marketing Strategy Looks Like Here
- A real look at your business. Where your customers come from now, what they're worth, and where you're losing them.
- Competitive review. What the businesses beating you are doing, and what they're vulnerable on.
- Channel decisions. Google, Facebook, flyers, lead services, referrals. We help you pick based on math, not hype.
- An order of operations. What to fix first, second and third, so effort compounds instead of scattering.
- Straight answers. If paid ads don't make sense for you yet, we say so, even though selling you ads would be easy.
The Difference Between Us and a Marketing Salesman
A salesman's job is to sell you the service his company offers. Our job is to tell you what your business actually needs. Those are very different jobs. Because everything we do is one flat $99/month, we have no reason to push you toward an expensive service you don't need. There isn't one.
Twenty Years of Doing This
This isn't theory from a course. Brian has spent about 20 years in sales and marketing, managed million-dollar budgets for major companies, and built his own service businesses from the ground up in two states. The advice you get is the same playbook he runs on his own companies.
Every Proven Ground service is part of one plan at one price: $99 per month. Website, hosting, updates, Google Business Profile, local SEO and marketing guidance are all included. See exactly what $99 covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does marketing consulting cost with Proven Ground?
It's included in the $99/month plan alongside your website, Google Business Profile and local SEO. There's no separate consulting fee.
Do you manage advertising campaigns?
At $99/month we help you decide whether ads make sense, what budget is reasonable and what the ad should say. Hands-on ad account management is a separate conversation, and we'll be upfront about that before anything starts.
How much should a small business spend on marketing?
It depends on your customer value and capacity. A cleaning company with $200 recurring customers and a landscaper chasing $40,000 installs should spend very differently. That math is exactly what we work through with you.
What if I just need advice, not a website?
Start with the free business review. We'll tell you what we see, and you can decide from there. No obligation either way.
