For owners selling a business

Get your business ready to sell for more

Buyers pay for profit they can check, and for marketing that runs without you. In 60 days we make both easy to see.

$7,500Flat fee for 60 days. Half to start, half at day 30. Ad spend is separate.

Sound familiar?

For owners of $1M–$10M service businesses who plan to sell in the next 6–24 months, or who are already listed with a broker.

  • Your domain, Google profile or ad accounts are in your personal email. A buyer will ask about that.
  • You can't show where your customers come from, or what each one costs.
  • Customers find you because they know you. A buyer worries they'll leave when you do.

Why this pays for itself

Small businesses usually sell for about 3 to 6 times their yearly profit. So every $1 of profit you add before the sale can be worth $3 to $6 at closing.

Owner profit$220,000$270,000
Price at 3x profit$660,000$810,000

An example, not a promise. Your broker or valuation expert sets your multiple. We don't give valuation advice.

What's included

Everything works with the tools you already use. You don't have to switch your CRM.

01

Digital diligence report

In week 1, see what a buyer's team will find when they check your website, Google profile, reviews, ads, tracking and AI search. You get two scorecards out of 100.

02

Account ownership cleanup

Your domain, hosting, Google Business Profile, ad accounts, analytics, email and social accounts move into the company's name. You get a list of who has access and a checklist for closing day.

03

Proof of where customers come from

Call and form tracking, plus a cleaned-up CRM, so a buyer can see which ads and pages bring in customers and what each one costs.

04

Your biggest leak, fixed

We fix the one problem that costs you the most: slow follow-up, a website that doesn't turn visits into calls, or wasted ad spend.

05

Reviews on autopilot

Every finished job gets a review request automatically. Buyers read your reviews too.

06

Google and AI search fixes

We fix the pages that bring in calls, so you show up on Google and when customers ask ChatGPT who to hire.

07

Marketing Systems Brief

A plain-English summary, 2 pages long, that shows how customers find you, what it costs and who runs it. Written for your broker's selling memo and for buyers' questions.

Not included: Valuation, legal, tax or brokerage advice. We work alongside your broker, CPA and attorney.

The same systems behind these results

This package uses the tracking, websites, follow-up and search work we already run for clients.

Consumer law firm

From zero to 9 first-page Google spots in 6 weeks

Five articles put 16 more searches on page one and brought in 20+ calls. Leads from Google went up 50%, so the firm cut ad spending from $3,000 to $300 a month.

Law firm, Los Angeles

Website visitors doubled in 30 days

From 6,000–8,000 a month to 16,000. We fixed the pages that bring in calls first. Leads kept coming without paid ads.

Education company

500+ qualified leads from one chat helper

An AI chat helper on the website answered questions day and night and collected leads. No free download needed to get them.

Education company

Ad budget grew from $5K to $50K a month, still earning $4 for every $1

The budget grew 10 times and the return held, because every dollar was tied to sales.

Exit-Ready Sprint: common questions

When should I start before selling?

6 to 24 months before you list is best. That gives the tracking time to build a history a buyer can trust. If you're already listed, start now: account cleanup and the Marketing Systems Brief still help during buyer questions.

Will this raise my sale price?

We can't promise a price. Your multiple depends on your industry, your numbers and your buyer. What we do is add profit where we can, remove the problems buyers discount for, and make your marketing easy to check.

Do you work with my business broker?

Yes. We're glad to work with your broker or M&A advisor, and we'll share the Marketing Systems Brief with them if you want. We don't act as a broker and we don't take part in the deal.

What does "owner dependence" mean?

It means customers come because of you personally. Buyers pay less for that, because those customers may leave when you do. We document how customers find you and set up systems that keep working without you.

Can my buyer keep working with you after the sale?

Yes. Many buyers want the same systems to keep running. Our First 100 Days plan is built for new owners.

For people who just bought a business

First 100 Days: keep the customers you paid for. then grow.

$15,000 + $4,000/mo. For new owners of $1M–$10M service businesses: search funders, independent sponsors, holding companies, private equity add-ons and individual buyers. Start at closing or within 60 days after.
