Which service should we start with?

Most clients start with the service closest to their most pressing problem. If you’re not sure where the real issues are, a Marketing & Digital Growth Assessment is the best first step. It reviews your strategy, website, SEO, AI search visibility, CRM and analytics, and ranks what to fix first. If you already know the problem, such as an outdated website or weak search visibility, we can start with that service directly.

Can we hire Amplified for just one service?

Yes. Every service is available on its own, as a single project, part-time support or an ongoing retained program. Many clients start with one service and add others as their needs grow, but there’s no requirement to buy a package.

How do your services work together?

Every service follows one connected strategy. Your website is built to support SEO and AI search. SEO and AI Search Optimization (AIO) share the same content, schema and technical foundation. Paid media is tied to the same analytics and goals. Because Amplified sets the strategy across all of them, each service strengthens the others instead of running separately.

How is pricing structured?

Most engagements are quoted as a fixed project fee or a set monthly program fee, based on the scope of work. After an initial conversation, we send a statement of work that spells out what’s included, the timeline and the cost, so you know the total before work begins.

Who actually does the work?

Amplified sets the strategy and leads every engagement. Hands-on work such as development, design, copywriting and campaign management is handled by a curated network of 15+ experienced specialists we’ve vetted and work with regularly. You get senior leadership and specialist execution, coordinated through one point of contact.

Can you work with our existing team, agency or vendors?

Yes. We regularly work alongside internal marketing teams, web developers, IT staff and other agencies. We can lead the strategy while your current partners execute, fill specific gaps, or take on the work directly. The goal is to strengthen what’s working, not replace it.

How quickly can you get started?

Most engagements can begin within 1 week of an approved statement of work. Assessments and focused projects can often start sooner. We’ll confirm a start date and timeline during our first conversation.

How do you measure results?

Every engagement starts with clear goals and the metrics that matter for your business, such as qualified leads, search rankings, AI search visibility, website conversions or cost per lead. We track results through tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Semrush and call tracking, and provide regular reporting that ties marketing activity back to business outcomes.
