Day 2: The Offer

Goal: price any module or bundle in your head, say exactly what our team delivers and what the client does, and never cross the honesty gate. This page is the single source for prices and claims. Every other page links here.

Read the pills

DRAFT means the price is the current draft. Quote it as written and don't improvise around it. PENDING · confirm with your manager means the owner hasn't decided yet. Never guess a pending item: say you'll confirm it and get the answer from your manager.

1. What we sell: managed services

Our US team does the work for the client, using theStacc's software: SEO, local SEO, social, video and ads. The client doesn't learn a tool or run a workflow. They connect their accounts once, approve, and we run the rest.

The demo line

"This is your month. Connect Instagram, Facebook and Google, and approve. We run the rest."

2. The price table

These are the only prices you quote. If you ever see an older package name or price from before November 2026 (in an old deck, an old email, an old academy), it's dead. Don't quote it, don't compare to it.

3. The single-SKU rule

Any one module can be bought on its own. A Columbus plumber who only wants Google Search ads can buy one ad channel. An Austin dental clinic that only wants Social media with video can buy just that. There's no "you have to take SEO first." A single module is full price; the discount starts at two.

4. The bundle rule: 15% off at two or more

Two or more modules get 15% off the module total. Add up the modules at list price, take 15% off the total, and quote the result. Show the math to the prospect; it's a clean, honest number.

How to do it in your head

Total × 0.85. Or: find 10% of the total, add half of that again to get 15%, and subtract. On $1,000: 10% is $100, half again is $50, so 15% is $150, and the price is $850.

The full bundle

Full bundle · managed · DRAFT
$1,999/month

Website + SEO, Social media with video, and paid ads on Google and Meta. List total $2,400, 15% off makes $2,040, presented as $1,999/month. This is the only bundle with a presented round number. Every other bundle is quoted at its exact 15%-off price; don't round it yourself.

Ad spend on Google and Meta is extra and paid by the client to the platforms. Meta's start date depends on Meta's approval; see the status card.

Bundle edge cases

5. Ad spend is separate, and it's the client's

"Our fee covers the work. Your ad budget goes straight from your card to Google on your own account. You own the account and the data, and we never touch your billing."

Everything else about how managed ads run is on Day 5.

6. What each module delivers

Deliverable counts are not set yet. Wherever you see PENDING · confirm with your manager, say "a set number each month, I'll confirm the exact count," never a number you've heard somewhere.

Website + SEO DRAFT

Local SEO only PENDING · confirm with your manager

A proposed option for businesses keeping their current site: Google profile, posts, reviews, Map rank and AI answer rank. The owner hasn't decided on it or its price. If a prospect loves their site and only wants the map, take the note and confirm with your manager before quoting anything.

7. What our team does vs what the client does

Our teamThe client
  • Plans
  • Writes
  • Designs
  • Publishes
  • Replies to reviews (a person always posts the reply)
  • Runs the ad changes
  • Reports
  • Connects their accounts once: Google, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, ad accounts
  • Approves: posts wait for a yes unless they choose autopilot
  • Answers the writer's questions about their business
  • Owns their ad account and card
Why this matters on the call

Owners have been burned by agencies that went quiet and by tools they never had time to use. The answer to both is the same: our team does the work, and nothing posts without their yes. The client's whole job is a one-time connection and a few approvals.

8. Who each module is for

ModuleGood fitAsk this
Website + SEOA local or service business that needs to be found on Google, on the map and in AI answers, especially when the current site is old, thin, or not doing the job."When someone in your area searches for what you do, who shows up?"
Local SEO only PENDINGA business happy with its current site that mainly needs the map and reviews."Is the website working for you, or is it the map that's missing?"
Social mediaA business whose customers check it out on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn before buying, and whose pages look empty or stale."If a customer looked you up on Instagram right now, what would they see?"
Social media with videoA business with real work worth showing (jobs, before and after, the team, the space) that can send footage and photos from their phone."Do you or your team ever take videos on the job?"
Paid ads, per channelA business that wants to show up now for searches it doesn't rank for yet, and has its own budget for ad spend on top of our fee."What's a new customer worth to you, and what could you spend to get one?"

Platform fit for ads (for example, which channels suit an emergency job or a dental clinic) is on Day 5.

9. Terms that are not decided yet

Each of these is PENDING · confirm with your manager. Don't guess, don't use a number from an old document.

"Good question. I want to give you the exact terms, not a guess. I'll confirm and send them over today."

10. The honesty gate (canonical)

This is the one place the claim rules live. Every other page links here. If anything else in the academy disagrees with this section, this section wins.

ClassRuleExamples
Assert freelyContractual or under our control. Say it with confidence.The price. The deliverables. What's included. The approval flow. "You own your content and ad account." "Nothing posts without your yes."
DirectionalA trend. Name the driver, give no number."Impressions and map coverage usually grow as posts and content build up."
Never promiseOutcomes no one controls. Don't hedge them into a number either.Rankings, #1 or top-3, AI citations, leads, ROAS, revenue, follower growth, or "results in X weeks."
The positive framing line · say this

"We commit to the work every month and we track the numbers with you: map rank, AI mentions, calls and inquiries."

Use it whenever a prospect asks "what will I get?" or "how many leads?" It's a commitment, not a disclaimer. Don't open with "I can't promise you leads"; open with what we do commit to.

Banned phrases

Never say, never write

The never list, by area

AreaNever
ReviewsOffer review gating, pay for reviews, or say "we get you reviews." We draft replies to real reviews, and a person always posts them; replies are never automatic.
SEO and contentCall our 0 to 100 article score Google's score; it's our internal score, and 85+ is a best-effort aim. Promise indexing. Invent prices, codes, stats, reviews, testimonials, awards or phone numbers for a client.
AI answersPromise an AI citation or mention. Say an ad changes the AI answer.
Social and videoOffer comment or DM management or social listening. Promise reach, followers or leads. Offer a video editor the client uses themselves. Offer TikTok, Threads or Pinterest posting.
AdsPromise ROAS, cost per lead or a lead count. Say "pay only if it works." Say "we count leads once across platforms" or offer tracked phone numbers. Say we run ads on our own account or front the spend. Claim an autopilot runs the account.
Price and termsQuote an old package or price. Guess a PENDING item. Invent a discount.
Regulated businessesSay compliance mode makes them compliant. Compliance profiles are opt-in, and the licensed professional stays responsible.
"How many leads will I get?"

"Honestly, nobody can tell you that and mean it. What I can tell you is exactly what we do every month, and that you'll see the numbers with us: map rank, AI mentions, calls and inquiries. You'll know what's moving and why."
