The guarantee ## $10,000 to $50,000 of findings, or your money back. Every tier guarantees a minimum in identified, actionable margin or savings: $10,000 on Diagnostic, $25,000 on Strategic, $50,000 on Audit + Sprint.

Fee refunded [Request an audit](/book/) Estimated findings versus fee ## Compare possible findings with the audit fee. Pick your spend and a tier. Estimates anchor on the audited median leak of 18.7% of paid spend, range 11–28%, from 74 published audits, weighted by tier scope: deeper audits surface more of the leak. The audited median finding is $58,000, about 10× the Audit + Sprint fee. Monthly marketing spend Audit tier An estimate, not a measured outcome. Your report identifies the audited figure; the written findings floor for your tier is $10,000, $25,000 or $50,000. Estimated annual findings / audit fee ≈ 21× At your spend, the Strategic Audit scope estimates $37k to $94k a year in annual findings from the audited 11–28% leak band, about 21× the audit fee. This is potential identified by an audit, not measured recovery; implementation work and cost are separate. The $25,000 guarantee is the written findings floor. [Book this audit →](/book/) Audited annual figures ## What the audit identified. Each multiple compares a published annual case figure with the $5,950 Audit + Sprint fee. It is a comparison, not a measured return on the audit fee; implementation work and any resulting recovery vary by client. ## Pricing questions. #### Are there any hidden fees or retainers? None. You pay one fixed fee for the audit you choose. All prices are in USD. No hourly billing, no ongoing retainer, no upsells mid project. For what the wider market charges, see [how much a marketing audit costs](/marketing-audit-cost/). #### What does the guarantee actually promise? Each tier guarantees a minimum dollar amount of identified, actionable margin or savings: $10,000 (Diagnostic), $25,000 (Strategic), $50,000 (Audit + Sprint). If your delivered report identifies less, request a full refund within 14 days of your readout, or of report delivery if your tier has no readout, and it reaches your original payment method within 5 business days. No forms, no argument. "Identified findings" means quantified line items in your report, each with a dollar impact and an implementation step, not vague suggestions. #### Which tier is right for me? If one area is your concern, start with the Diagnostic Check. Most teams choose the Strategic Audit for the complete picture. If you’re ready to act on the findings, Audit + Sprint adds execution planning. #### Can I upgrade after a Diagnostic Check? Yes. 100% of your Diagnostic fee ($1,450) credits toward a Strategic Audit within 30 days. You’ve already covered about half the $2,950 price. #### What’s the implementation credit? 100% of your audit fee becomes a credit toward an implementation engagement booked within 30 days of delivery. Book a $2,950 Strategic Audit, decide to have the roadmap executed: your first $2,950 of implementation is already paid. #### What do you need from me to start? Read only access to your analytics and ad accounts, plus a 30 minute kickoff call. We handle everything from there. #### When is payment taken? After your kickoff call. Booking takes no payment: we send the invoice after the kickoff call, due before work starts. Diagnostic Check and Strategic Audit are one fixed fee, invoiced once. Audit + Sprint is two payments: $2,950 invoiced at kickoff, and the $3,000 balance only when your audit is delivered. #### How does payment work on Audit + Sprint? We invoice $2,950 after your kickoff call, due before work starts. The remaining $3,000 is invoiced only when your audit is delivered. We don’t collect the balance until the work is in your hands. Card, ACH or wire for both payments. #### Do prices include sales tax? Fees are quoted in USD. Professional audit services like this are generally not subject to sales tax; if your state is an exception, any applicable tax is stated on the invoice, never added after the fact. A W-9 is available on request. #### Which payment methods do you accept? Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), ACH or wire transfer, on every tier, paid against our invoice. #### Will finance get a proper invoice? Yes. A full invoice with tax breakdown, company details and PO reference if you need one, sent after your kickoff call and resendable anytime. #### How does the refund mechanically work? Say so within 14 days of your readout, or of report delivery if your tier has no readout, and the fee returns to your original payment method within 5 business days. No forms, no negotiation, and the report stays yours. ![Portrait photograph of Cristian Bragau](/assets/founder/cristian-bragau-2026-10.jpg)![Portrait photograph of Victoria Miller](/assets/team/victoria-miller.jpg)![Portrait photograph of David Jackson](/assets/team/david-jackson.jpg)![Portrait photograph of Leslie Martin](/assets/team/leslie-martin.jpg)![Portrait photograph of Alex Pop](/assets/team/alex-pop.jpg) ## Signed by name, not by a logo.
