Why this is priced the way it is.

Most agencies charge more and deliver less because they are running dozens of clients with junior staff on a template playbook. Smart Stack is one person, one methodology, personal accountability.

  • Ryan operates every engagement personally Not a team, not a white-label operation. Ryan builds it and runs it.
  • You own everything built Full handover on exit. No lock-in, no held hostage assets.
  • No annual contracts after setup Month-to-month. Stay because it is working.
  • Setup fee is scoped, not guessed Range is $1,000-$8,000+ depending on complexity. You know the number before any work starts.

Pricing Questions

Straight answers before you commit

What does the setup fee actually cover?

Everything to get you operational. The Brand Interview, full Knowledge Stack population, GHL configuration, website infrastructure deployment, and all five stacks connected. Scope determines cost — a simple service business with one location starts lower than a multi-location operation with complex automations.

  • Brand Interview is a paid onboarding session, not a free consultation
  • Setup is one-time — monthly billing starts after you're live
Is there a contract after the setup fee?

Month-to-month after the setup fee is collected and build is complete. No annual contracts required. Stay because the system is working, not because you're locked in.

  • Cancel with 30 days notice after setup is complete
  • Setup fee is non-refundable — it covers real work already done
What do I keep if I cancel?

You keep your published website files and your GHL account. Those are yours. The Knowledge Stack infrastructure stays with Smart Stack Method — it's the system we built and operate.

  • Published website HTML files — yours to keep
  • Your GHL account and contacts — yours to keep
Does the $2,500 include paid advertising?

No. The $2,500 is infrastructure — website, content, automation, AI, analytics. Paid ads are a separate budget you control. We build the infrastructure that makes your ads work better, but the ad spend is yours.

  • No ad spend included or managed
  • GHL subscription ($97–$297/month) is also separate, billed by GHL directly
How long does setup take?

Typically 2–4 weeks from setup fee collected to all five stacks operational. The Brand Interview happens first. Knowledge Stack gets built. Then infrastructure deploys. Timeline depends on your responsiveness and scope complexity.

  • Brand Interview scheduled after setup fee is collected
  • Faster turnaround when clients respond quickly to Knowledge Stack prompts
Who is this not right for?

Businesses looking for the cheapest option. Owners who won't participate in the approval process. Anyone expecting results without showing up. This requires 15 minutes a week minimum — if that's too much, we're not the right fit.

  • Not for passive business owners who want zero involvement
  • Not for businesses with budgets under $2,500/month
