Questions before contact
What buyers usually need to know.
Who should use the AI Stack Retainer for Ongoing Visibility, Workflow, and Governance Control?
Use it when AI visibility, workflow, and governance are already live enough to need ongoing control, not when the first question is still where AI belongs.
What do we get?
You get monthly review, workflow updates, tool decisions, operator support, plus the next step that should happen first.
How much does it cost?
Scoped is the visible starting point or pricing band for this service. Variable work is priced after the asset, account, timeline, and owner involvement are clear.
How fast can this start?
Monthly support. Response comes through the quote request path after the context is submitted.
Do we need a call first?
Not as the first move. Submit the situation first so the conversation starts with the real page, campaign, store, or decision instead of a blank sales call.
What if we already have an agency or internal team?
That is common. The work can review the current setup, direct the internal team, or define what the outside vendor should fix first.

Let's talkDiagnostic fit
Use this service when the website path is the likely failure layer.
Use this as a fit check before choosing the service. When the failing layer is unclear, the written diagnostic should come first.
When to use it
Agency, vendor, retainer, or outsourced marketing spend is not producing a clear return. Money risk: The business may renew, fire, or switch vendors before the actual failure layer is known.
What SC checks first
SC checks first-screen message, intent match, proof, CTA visibility, form friction, mobile behavior, and follow-up after the visit.
When to diagnose first
If the account, page, offer, tracking, and follow-up could all be involved, route the decision to the written diagnostic first.
