Why My Prices Are Public: The Pricing Philosophy Behind Fixed Fees, No Discounts, and a Refund Term I Advertise

Every price I charge is printed on my website: $4,500 fixed for the Diagnostic, $5,000 to $12,000 monthly for the Growth System, $10,000 and up for the Strategist seat. No ranges hidden behind a call, no discounts under any circumstances, and a refund term I advertise as loudly as the fees. This pie

The problem pricing has to solve in this market

  • Search marketing is what economists call a credence good: the buyer cannot fully evaluate it before purchase, and often not even after.
  • A PI firm owner cannot inspect an SEO engagement the way they would inspect a building.
  • They decide almost entirely on proxies, and they decide as professional skeptics, because most of them have been burned by an agency at least once.

Public and fixed: what it buys the buyer

  • Printing the numbers does quiet work in every direction, and none of it is generosity.
  • It ends the negotiation before it starts.
  • Firms that hide prices are planning to negotiate; I am not negotiating, I am diagnosing, and a diagnosis costs what it costs regardless of how the patient feels about the estimate.

No discounts, ever: a discount is a confession

  • The no-discount rule reads as stubbornness until you translate it.
  • A discount tells the buyer the first price was fiction, and invites the obvious follow-up: what else was?
  • A vendor who folds ten percent under mild pressure has disclosed their conviction, their margins, and how every future disagreement will be resolved.

The refund term: putting the risk where the information is

  • The Diagnostic is refundable until the roadmap is clear.
  • I advertise that term next to the price because, for a credence good, an outcome commitment reassures the buyer in a way no report ever will.
  • Nobody controls Google, and any vendor implying otherwise is lying early.

The cost of free, and the arithmetic of expensive

  • Two objections meet this philosophy, and both dissolve under this vertical's own numbers.
  • The first: why pay for a diagnosis when free audits exist?
  • Because a free audit is a sales document wearing a lab coat; it finds whatever the seller sells.

How to read every vendor after this

  • Strip out my offers entirely and the piece still leaves a firm owner with a screen that works on anyone: Where are the prices, and why would hiding them serve you?
  • What happens when you push on the number, and what does the answer predict about every future dispute?
  • Where does the risk sit, in a promise or in a structure?
