Before You Hire a Marketing Agency

Don't Hire Us. Or Anyone Else. Until You Read This.

Before you spend anything per month on marketing, make sure you know what is actually limiting your growth.

More ads will not fix a bad website. More SEO will not fix missed calls. More leads will not help if your follow-up is broken.

Start with a $297 Growth Sprint. We find the issue that matters most, work on it within the defined scope, and show you what changed.

Start My $297 Growth Sprint

One Sprint. One priority issue. A clear next step.

7 to 10 days.

What the Sprint finds first

Find the one issue that deserves attention first.

More ads do not fix missed calls. More SEO does not fix an unclear offer. The issue can sit anywhere in the path from search to sale.

A vertical customer-acquisition chain from search visibility through sale, showing that the issue to fix first can occur at any point in the journey.

What the $297 includes

Review it. Work on it. Show you what changed.

We look at the parts of your marketing that can limit demand, choose the priority issue, and work on it within the Sprint's defined scope.

Review what is getting in the way.

We review the relevant website, search, listing, reviews, calls, advertising, and tracking signals.

Work on the priority issue.

This is not a report you have to figure out alone. We work on the priority issue within the defined Sprint scope.

Show you what changed.

You receive clear before-and-after context and a practical recommendation only if more support makes sense.

Growth Sprint FAQ

Questions, answered.

A few straightforward answers before you decide whether the Sprint is right for your business.

Is the Growth Sprint just an audit?

No. We use the review to identify the priority issue, then we work on that issue within the Sprint's defined scope. Your recap explains what we reviewed, what work was completed, and what deserves attention next.

What does the $297 include?

We review the parts of your customer journey that can limit demand, identify the issue that matters most right now, work on that priority, and provide a before-and-after recap with practical next steps.

What if you find more than one issue?

Most businesses have more than one opportunity. The Sprint deliberately focuses on the issue that deserves attention first, so the work stays practical and the next step is based on evidence rather than a generic package.

Do you need my passwords, card details, or login access?

No. Stripe handles payment on its hosted checkout page. The intake asks only for operational context. If access is needed for approved work, Chicago Style Media will coordinate that separately and never asks for passwords in the form.
