Compare
Hiring an in-house team takes 3-6 months and costs $15,000-$40,000+ in salary plus tools. Generalist agencies start around $5,000-$10,000/mo and stack junior account managers between you and the work. Foundgrove specialists deliver senior-led execution from $2,500/mo, and onboarding starts within days, not months. Below is the side-by-side.
Terms
No setup fees on any retainer — onboarding, audits, technical fixes, dashboards, and conversion tracking are all included in month one. Retainers (SEO/GEO/AEO and Paid Ads) are month-to-month — cancel anytime, no minimum, no lock-in, with 30 days notice. Website Design is fixed-fee with no ongoing contract: 50% at kickoff, 50% at launch, and you own the build outright.
No-lock-in cancel right
If we aren't delivering against the agreed scope, cancel anytime — no penalty. Every retainer is month-to-month with no minimum, so you are never locked into work that isn't producing. You keep all content, schema, links, ad accounts, and dashboards we built.
Bundles
Yes — and most service businesses get the best ROI from bundling. Bundled retainers save 10-20% versus standalone pricing because the channels feed each other. SEO content informs paid ad copy, paid landing pages double as SEO assets, and the website ties conversion tracking together. The most common bundle is Growth + Performance ($2,500 SEO + $3,500 Paid Ads management) plus ad spend, run by one senior strategist instead of three siloed vendors.
ROI
Pricing is the input — booked calls and revenue are the output we measure together on your dashboard.
FAQs
Common questions on contracts, setup fees, cancellation, annual discounts, and how Foundgrove compares to NP Digital, Single Grain, and WebFX. If your question is not here, book a call and a senior strategist will answer it directly — no sales rep middleman.
No. Every retainer is month-to-month — cancel anytime, no minimum, no lock-in. SEO and paid ads both take roughly 90 days to optimize and another 90 to scale, so we recommend giving the work time to compound, but you are never locked in. Website Design is fixed-fee with no ongoing contract — pay 50% at start, 50% at launch, and you own the build outright.
No setup fees on any retainer. Onboarding, account audits, technical fixes, dashboard build, and conversion tracking are all included in your first month. Website projects bill 50% at kickoff and 50% at launch. Rush launches in 7 days are available for an additional $1,500 if brand assets are ready.
Yes, anytime. Retainers are month-to-month with no minimum — cancel with 30 days written notice and there is no penalty. We do not lock clients into engagements that are not working. You keep all content, schema, links, ad accounts, and dashboards we built.
Yes. We discount 10% on annual prepay for any retainer (SEO/GEO/AEO or Paid Ads management fee — ad spend is excluded). Bundled retainers combining two or more services receive a 10-20% discount on top of monthly pricing. Email hello@foundgrove.com for a custom bundled quote.
There is no minimum term — retainers are month-to-month, cancel anytime. We do suggest giving SEO time to compound and paid ads time to collect enough data to optimize, but that is a recommendation, not a lock-in. The minimum recommended monthly ad spend is $5,000 across channels — below that, statistical significance for optimization becomes hard to achieve. Total first-month budget for paid ads is therefore roughly $8,500 all-in: the $3,500/mo Performance management fee plus the $5,000+ recommended ad spend you pay the platforms directly.
Yes — most service businesses get the best ROI from bundling because the channels feed each other. SEO content informs paid ad copy, paid landing pages double as SEO assets, and the website ties tracking together. Bundled retainers also save 10-20% versus standalone pricing and give you one strategist instead of three.
Generalist agencies like NP Digital and Single Grain typically start at $5,000-$10,000/mo because they bundle six services and layer junior account managers onto every engagement. WebFX prices per project task and adds enterprise overhead. Foundgrove focuses on three services run by senior strategists — no junior handoffs, no SEO+PR+social bundles you do not need. That focus is why our $2,500/mo entry point delivers more execution per dollar.
