Why are you only selecting three businesses?

Because we're doing this at a level we can't do at scale. Three lets us film often, meet weekly, and stay close enough to the work that the system gets refined properly instead of just deployed.

Why are you including the installation and first 90 days?

We want the first three case studies to be unambiguous. Removing the price removes the excuse — from both sides. You commit to the process; we commit to the build.

The $8,000 installation and the first 90 days of execution are covered. Your advertising budget is not — that money goes to Meta, not to us. So it isn't free, it's unpaid on our side.

Why do I need to invest in advertising?

Visibility is bought media. We can build the brand, the videos, and the system, but something has to carry it in front of homeowners every week. Without ad spend there's nothing to measure.

Do I have to be on camera?

Yes. This one isn't flexible. Homeowners trust a person, not a logo — and the Growth Engine™ is built around your face and your voice. Our crew does the filming; you just explain your own trade.

What if I don't have active projects?

Then the timing is wrong, not the fit. We need real work to film and document across the 90 days. Apply again when your schedule fills back up.

What happens after the first 90 days?

You look at what happened and decide. Stop with no renewal, or explicitly enroll in Content Engine Pro at $3,500/month. If you enroll, the recurring plan bills automatically until canceled.

Am I signing a contract?

There's a written agreement covering the 90 days — what we deliver, what you commit to, and how either side ends it. A strategist walks you through every line before anything gets signed.

What if I'm not selected?

We'll tell you, and we'll tell you why. You're welcome to start with a free brand audit, or apply again when the program opens publicly.

Watch: why we're only taking three contractors

If selected

You receive the complete Growth Engine™ implementation — the $8,000 installation and your first 90 days of execution.

You cover

Your advertising budget. That's the whole of your investment during the founding period.

After 90 days

If you choose to continue, you transition into the standard Growth Engine™ partnership. If not, you walk.

Who this is for

Contractors whose work is already better than their reputation.

If that's not you yet, this isn't the right program — and we'd rather tell you now than on a call.

01You already produce exceptional work.

02You want to become a recognized brand in your market.

03You understand that visibility — not craftsmanship — is your bottleneck.

04You'd rather build long-term market authority than chase the next lead forever.

The problem

Most marketing companies fight over the same 3%.

Only a small share of homeowners are actively looking for a contractor today. Every lead generation company in your market competes for those same people.

Buying right now

What that creates

Higher lead costs

More competition

More price shopping

Less trust

97%

Everyone else — and they're not gone, they're early

Planning

Saving

Researching

Watching

Waiting

The Growth Engine™ keeps your business consistently visible to all of them — so when they finally become ready, you're already the contractor they know.

Why it's different

Not lead generation. Not social media management.

Traditional lead generation

Rents attention

✕Competes for today's buyers

✕Expensive leads

✕Price shoppers

✕Starts over every month

✕Builds no long-term brand equity

Social media management

Fills a calendar

✕Random posting

✕Vanity metrics

✕No business strategy

✕Nothing you can measure

✕Doesn't build a recognizable brand

Growth Engine™

Owns recognition

✓Builds recognition before homeowners need you

✓Keeps your business consistently visible

✓Builds familiarity and trust

✓Compounds over time instead of resetting

✓Turns recognition into booked discovery calls

What you're actually receiving

Four outcomes, not a deliverables list.

Become a recognized brand

Instead of looking like another contractor, you become a business homeowners recognize and remember by name.

Stay visible every week

Instead of disappearing between referrals, your company stays consistently in front of local homeowners.

Build trust before they ever call

By the time someone reaches out, they already feel like they know your company — and the conversation starts warm.

Build a business that compounds

Not random campaigns. Not temporary spikes. A system that keeps building momentum month after month.

What's included

The complete Growth Engine™, all four systems.

Nothing held back for a later tier. Founding Members run the same build our standard partners do.

Your investment

What it normally costs, and what it costs you.

Your advertising budget You invest

After the first 90 days

If you decide to continue, you explicitly enroll in Content Engine Pro at $3,500/month with recurring automatic payment until canceled.

If you don't, there is no obligation to continue. No penalty, no clawback.

Why we're doing this

We spent the last year building the Growth Engine™. Before we release it publicly, we want three exceptional contractors to prove it.

Our goal is simple: build three incredible success stories, refine the system against real businesses, then launch it to the public.

Build three success stories worth showing.

Refine the system against real businesses.

Launch it publicly, with proof already in hand.

Non-negotiables

Six things we can't work around.

If any of these is a no, please don't apply — it saves us both a call.

Seven steps. No calendar link at the end of step one.

You apply first. We read every application ourselves. Only then does anyone get on a call.

The questions we'd ask too.

The application

Apply to be a Founding Member.

Ten minutes, honestly answered, beats a thirty-minute call where we both discover it isn't a fit.

Before you start

We read every submission personally. If we think you're a strong fit, we'll reach out to schedule a strategy interview. Because we're selecting only three businesses, not every applicant moves forward — and we'll tell you either way.
