Questions answered.
Honestly.

Before we make any recommendation or quote any pricing, we take the time to understand your business — pre-sale. We then conduct a full market and competitive analysis: an audit of your website and current keyword rankings, plus a review of your competitors' online presence, content, backlink profiles, and paid advertising. This defines exactly where you stand in the marketplace and the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

From there, we present an initial recommended strategy — the marketing channels we'd prioritize to reach your goals, with best-case pricing. "Best-case" means the optimal 'perfect-world' estimated investment: a ballpark based on our initial research, meant to open a conversation, not to lock anything in.

This is where most agencies stop. It's where we begin.

No marketing company can build an effective strategy without access to your actual data — yet most try anyway. If you approve the initial direction and budget, we move to a short paid engagement to build the real strategy. You grant us access to your GA4, Google Search Console, Google Business Profile, and website, and we get to look under the hood. Only then do we build a genuine roadmap: a specific 6–12 month plan with the exact channels, tactics, keywords, budgets, ad spend, timelines, and KPIs we recommend — grounded in your historical and live data alongside real-time market and competitive data.

This is the difference. You're paying for a professionally built, data-driven campaign strategy — with no long-term contract required. When it's complete, we present the full roadmap along with the exact monthly investment to execute it. You'll know precisely what we'd do, why, on what timeline, and toward what goals — before you commit to anything.

At that point, the decision is entirely yours. We join forces and begin executing. Or, if you prefer to run it in-house or hand it to another firm, that's fine — you paid for the strategy, it's yours. This is a discussion, not a sales pitch. We focus on long-term relationships - not transactional relationships.

Too many companies glance at a website, hand over a generic "digital marketing plan" backed by no data, and leave the business owner wondering why it isn't working six months later. We don't operate that way. You get what you pay for and we're the best.

Yes — we work with startups, local businesses, regional businesses, national brands, international brands and eCommerce companies. Our strategies are built around your competitive landscape and the market, not your company size. However, we do not work with businesses that are unwilling to invest back into their business. If budget is a primary concern and you're willing to try and cut corners to "save money", we will let you know upfront what the long-term implications will be.

What we don't do is oversell. If your market doesn't require an aggressive budget to reach the goals we set, we won't recommend marketing channels just for the sake of it. We've earned our client's trust over the years by being honest and treating their businesses as our own. We build what's necessary to WIN in your specific market — nothing more, nothing less.

It depends on the type of results (KPI's) and varies by marketing channel, your target market, budget allocation towards each marketing channel, and how many other companies are targeting the same niche. One thing is for sure, we are extremely diligent and creative at HOW we attack the competition.

That said, we're very transparent about timelines and expectations because we'd rather set realistic goals than make a promise we can't keep. Once we've completed the final campaign strategy, we tell you the expected timeline for each marketing channel to start generating ROI. We have a common saying that 'if you don't see results by a specific timeline that we provide, you should fire us.' Simple as that.

We build strategies around realistic timelines and we communicate those timelines clearly before any work begins. No marketing company can make absolute guarantees before a campaign begins — anyone who does is not being honest with you. But, if there's historical data, quality research done up-front, and the strategy is foundationally sound, a realistic timeline can be set for each marketing channel and you can hold us accountable to that.

It can sometimes be daunting for business owners or marketing professionals to reach out to marketing companies because you never know what you're going to get. A hard-nosed salesperson who needs to get commission by signing up a new client as fast as possible and promises the world for a price that "meets" their budget. (Which usually means you're buying something that can only get you partially towards your goals - if that.) Or, there may be someone who isn't knowledgeable enough to answer all your questions.

That's exactly the question we're here to answer — and it's one we take very seriously. The honest truth is that we don't know until we look at the data. We need to study your company's historical performance, your market, your competition, and where you currently stand in the marketplace before we can say what will actually move the needle.

What we can tell you is this: it's rarely just one channel. Most businesses assume they need "SEO" or "PPC" or "a new website," when in reality the most effective strategies combine multiple channels that work together and complement one another — each amplifying the others. Isolating a single channel usually leaves results on the table. The right mix depends entirely on your business, your goals, and what the data reveals.

There's also a paradigm shift worth noting. A professional strategy isn't built around your budget — your budget is built around the strategy. Think about it: if every dollar you invested reliably returned two, you wouldn't ask how little you could spend — you'd invest as much as you could, because it's a compounding return. That's the goal. We build the strategy the data supports, show you the expected return, and let the numbers make the case.

Our entire process is designed to answer this question before we ever present you with an agreement to partner with us. We analyze your market, your competition, your current performance, and your goals — then we tell you what the data supports, not what's most profitable for us to sell.

The Wavetelligence Platform is a marketing intelligence dashboard included with every Wavetelligence strategy. It gives you 24/7 access to every metric from your marketing campaign in one place.

You have access to keyword rankings on Google and Bing, all inbound leads and form submissions, recorded phone calls with source attribution, PPC campaign performance, reputation and review management, social media scheduling and analytics, Meta Ads data, Google Analytics data, LLM data (AI), and automated weekly and monthly reports. We just recently added an AI helper so if you don't like sifting through data, simply ask it to provide you with real-time reporting and your entire marketing strategy is at your fingertips.

Another critical element is you're able to view lead and sales attribution to view how many leads and sales are coming from each marketing channel. Every lead is filtered by source — so you always know exactly which channels are delivering ROI, which is how we transparently showcase what your marketing is actually worth.

We do not require long-term contracts, but we offer long-term contracts for businesses that know they are investing in the future of their business. There are not many marketing channels that can be crafted overnight and start earning ROI the next day. However, we also believe in earning the trust of our clients so we also offer month-to-month agreements with no minimum contract period. Our clients that opt for longer term contracts do receive discounts on certain marketing channels.

That said, every marketing channel has a different time horizon which we are completely transparent in explaining during our strategy building process. You will know the time horizon, based on our research and real-time data, so in some cases it makes more sense to take the discount than it does to go month-to-month, but we do offer both.

Every campaign includes conversion tracking setup as part of each marketing channel that's included in your strategy. This means every form submission, every phone call, and every eCommerce transaction is tracked back to its source — organic search, paid advertising, direct, or referral.

You'll see this data in real time inside The Platform, and it's summarized in weekly and monthly reports delivered directly to you. We don't report leads that come in from other sources that aren't a direct result of the marketing channels that we are using. Although, if you want to use The Platform to track alternative marketing channels outside of our campaigns, you may do so at any time. We report leads, calls, sales, and revenue — because that's what actually matters to your business.

We have clients in more than 30 different industries, so it would be easier to discuss the industries we don't work with. The only industry we have turned down is the adult industry.

Our strategy process is industry-agnostic because it's built on data, not templates. Every market has its own competitive dynamics, keyword landscape, user behavior, patterns, trends, ICP's, and conversion behavior. We research your specific market rather than applying a playbook designed for a different industry.

If you're unsure whether we're a fit for your industry, the best first step is to apply by calling us or filling out our Schedule A Meeting form. We'll tell you honestly whether we can make a meaningful impact.

We take confidentiality seriously. Here's how it works in practice:

• All contracts are between Wavetelligence and your agency — not your clients.
• We never invoice, email, or communicate with your clients directly.
• The Platform is fully white labeled — it shows your agency's branding, not ours.
• All reports are delivered under your agency's brand.
• All ad accounts are created under your agency's MCC — your clients own their data.
• No admin or user credentials we use to access the client's website or required platforms (such as GA4, GSC, GBP, etc.) include Wavetelligence credentials.
• Any pre-sale materials (SOWs, audits, strategies) are provided without Wavetelligence branding for you to present as your own.

Our Agency Partners do their own account management and project management with their own clients, so Wavetelligence is never seen.

We offer three Agency Partnership models depending on your level of experience and how involved you want us to be in the pre-sale and strategy process:

• Self-Directed: You handle your own pre-sale and client strategy independently. You submit the client, we build and fulfill the campaign. Best for experienced agencies that know what they need.
• Co-Pilot: We work alongside you in the pre-sale process — teaching you how to conduct market research, build strategies, and present proposals. Over time, you develop the skills to operate independently.
• White Glove: We handle everything from pre-sale to fulfillment. You provide us the client's information and goals, and we deliver a complete strategy, proposal, and campaign — ready for you to present under your brand.

Each model has its own pricing structure. The right one depends on where your agency is today and where you're headed.

You can white label the following services through Wavetelligence:

• Search Engine Optimization (Local, Regional, National, eCommerce)
• Map Pack / Google Business Profile Optimization
• AEO — Answer Engine Optimization (AI search visibility)
• Paid Ads — Search, Display, LSA, Retargeting, Shopping, and Streaming TV (OTT)
• Social Media Management
• Social Media Ads (Meta Ads, LI Ads, YouTube Ads, etc.)
• Reputation Management
• Website Design & Development (WordPress, Shopify, React, Custom)
• The Platform (white labeled marketing dashboard for your clients)

We offer "a la carte" where Agency Partners can purchase Marketing Channels individually. We also offer full campaign strategies that include complete marketing strategies. Please see the partnership models on our White Label landing page to learn more.

Pricing works differently depending on which partnership model you choose. All three are wholesale — you pay our rate and set your own retail margin — but what's included varies significantly by tier, and we want to be completely upfront about that.

Self-Directed — you buy fulfillment. This tier is for agencies that simply want us to do the work. You select the marketing channels you need for each client — either from our pre-built packages or as a custom wholesale quote we assemble around that client's goals — and we fulfill them. There's no strategy, no data analysis, no monthly calls. You get weekly and monthly reporting directly from The Platform, and our project managers are reachable by phone or email, but communication is essentially limited to sending deliverables for approval. It's 100% hands-off, which is exactly how we keep the pricing efficient — there's no strategic overhead built in. You choose the channels, we build them, your client sees only your brand.

Co-Pilot — you buy the expertise. Here, you hire us to teach and train your team on the marketing channels themselves: how to assess a prospective client, perform market and competitive research, build and present a professional strategy, close the sale, and manage the accounts once campaigns are live. Say a social media agency lands a client asking for a new website and lead generation, but has never sold or managed those services — we train them to speak intelligently about it, evaluate the opportunity, build the strategy, and win the work. Once they close it, they hand us the strategy, we provide wholesale pricing, and we fulfill. Some partners use Co-Pilot once to build a capability; others stay with us to go deep — SEO, AEO, and Map Pack, the nuances of Google Ads, conversion psychology, even building a telemarketing team around The Platform's pre-sale assessments. However far you want to take it, the goal is the same: we make your team genuinely capable, and you keep more of the value in-house.

White Glove — you buy the strategy, done for you. This is our full retail process applied on your behalf. You pay us up front to do the complete work — market research, competitive analysis, and a custom, data-backed professional strategy — pre-sale. You then present it to your client exactly as we would, and once approved, your client pays a setup fee for that professional strategy before execution begins. It's our most premium tier, and also the most valuable to the end client, because it follows the same rigorous path our own clients get: analyze the market, analyze the competition, and build a real strategy grounded in data — entirely done for you. (Co-Pilot follows this same path; the difference is that in Co-Pilot we teach your team to do it, and in White Glove we do it for them.)

Across all three models, wholesale pricing reflects the channels and scope involved, and volume-based advantages apply as your active account load grows. The right model depends on how much of the strategic work you want to own versus hand to us.

Yes — always. The end client owns everything: their Google Ads account (created under your agency's MCC), their Google Analytics data, their Google Business Profile, every profile we create, and all content produced for their campaigns. It belongs to them — never to us, and never held over their heads. This is stated clearly in our agreements.

This is non-negotiable for us. We've seen too many businesses have their website or accounts held hostage by an agency that quietly retained ownership, so that leaving meant losing everything they'd paid for. We think that's dishonest, and we refuse to operate that way. That's why we make a point of declaring it plainly — both on our site and in every agreement: 100% of the marketing content and profiles we produce is owned by the end client.

The pre-sale process depends on your partnership model — specifically, how much of the strategic work you handle versus hand to us.

Self-Directed. There's no pre-sale work on our end, by design — this model is built for agencies that handle their own strategy and simply want us to fulfill. When you're ready to bring on a client, you email us the client's domain and the services you'd like to purchase for them. We send an agreement, and we begin. Simple.

As an added benefit, once you have at least one client onboarded with us, you gain access to The Platform — which includes a Pre-Sale Website Assessment Tool you can use on any prospect. It generates a detailed 15–20 page report to help you win new business. It's a powerful add-on for closing prospects, but it's a tool for you — the core Self-Directed process remains entirely in your hands.

Co-Pilot. This is where we work alongside you. You send us the prospect's domain and, once you've purchased your training hours, we schedule a Zoom session to review the account together. We walk you through what to look for — how to research the market and competition, assess the opportunity, and build toward a professional strategy. From there you can build the strategy yourself, or book additional time if you'd like to review further. Most sessions get you moving within an hour, and while early on you may want three or four meetings per client, the goal is to make your team fully self-sufficient over time. Once your strategy is ready, you send us the domain and the plan, we provide wholesale pricing, you sign the client, and we begin.

White Glove. You send us the prospect's domain and goals, and we send you a one-time invoice for building the strategy. Once you approve it, we handle everything pre-sale — full market and competitive research, the complete professional strategy, priced at wholesale — delivering a finished pre-sale package ready for you to present to your client, exactly as we would in our own retail process.

At that point, you have two options:

1. Sell your client on the strategy as delivered and begin right away.
2. Follow the full Wavetelligence Strategy Model: request the end client's logins (GA4, GSC, GBP, website credentials, etc.) and offer them a one-time investment to build their Professional Strategy using their real-time data — before they commit to a long-term agreement with your agency.

Through years of experience, we've found that working from the client's real-time data produces a far more accurate professional strategy. We collect that data either way — whether before or after they sign with your agency — but our model is built around offering the strategy up front, with no strings attached. From there, we come back with an exact monthly budget across every marketing channel, backed by real-time data and research.

The approach is entirely your call. Either way, once you have a signed agreement with your client, we send you our agreement and begin executing.

Once your agency has at least one (1) client onboarded with Wavetelligence, you get access to The Platform. The Platform is fully white labeled under your agency's brand and included at no additional cost for every client you onboard through a Wavetelligence partnership. You have access to give your client's access to your branded Platform so that they can have a 24/7 transparent view into their marketing campaign.

Depending on the services they're enrolled in, your clients can see:

• Live keyword rankings on Google and Bing
• Inbound lead tracking — form submissions and recorded phone calls
• Lead source attribution (which channel generated each lead)
• PPC campaign performance and spend data
• Reputation management — reviews across Google, Yelp, and Facebook
• Social media scheduling and analytics
• Meta Ads
• Google Analytics and GA4 integration
• AI Brand Visibility module (for AEO clients)
• Backlink Profile of all backlinks we create for them
• Automated weekly and monthly branded reports

Yes — and choosing the right one matters. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Local SEO: For businesses targeting specific cities or service areas. Geo-targeted keyword campaigns, GBP optimization, citation building, and Map Pack strategy.
• Regional SEO: For businesses targeting an entire state, multiple states, or a group of counties — markets that span beyond one city but don't require full national coverage.
• National SEO: For businesses competing at a country-wide level — high-volume keywords, advanced link acquisition, and broad content authority.
• eCommerce SEO: For online retailers — product and category page optimization, shopping feed strategy, and revenue attribution tied to organic search.

We also offer Map Pack optimization (for clients with verified physical GBP locations) and AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — which ensures your client's content is structured to be cited by AI search engines like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.

We strongly encourage combining SEO + AEO + Map Pack for local clients so that we can get them ranked on Google SERPs, Google Maps and LLM's. For Regional, National and eCommerce, we highly recommend SEO + AEO. For our direct clients, we do not offer SEO by itself. We combine these marketing channels because they all work together.

Getting started is straightforward. There's no application fee, no minimum commitment, and no pressure.

• Step 1: Schedule a no-obligation intro meeting with our team. We'll walk you through the partnership models, The Platform, and wholesale pricing.
• Step 2: Choose the partnership model that fits where your agency is today — Self-Directed, Co-Pilot, or White Glove.
• Step 3: Bring us your first client. We'll handle the onboarding, the campaign setup, and The Platform integration. You present the results under your brand.

To give you an example of how easy our process is, Self-Directed Agency Partners can simply send us an email with their client's domain and marketing channels, and we'll be live within 1 business day. Co-Pilot Agency Partners purchase a training package and we schedule our first call within the first week. If they have an urgency to get a prospective client onboarded, we can expedite the first training session and get the client onboarded within a few days. White Glove Agency Partners will receive a full pre-sale proposal back within 5 business days. (In most cases, it's much sooner than that, but that's our policy deadline).
