One monthly cap. No retainer.
Pick the system that’s leaking the most customers and turn it on. The monthly number is a ceiling, not a bill — you only pay for work that actually shipped, and you can stop any month. Add the next system when you’re ready, or never.
How much does Tend the Tech cost?
Tend the Tech prices as three growth systems on a monthly cap. Get Found — local SEO, Google Business Profile, and reviews — runs about $500/month. Found + Maybes adds fast lead follow-up for about $1,500/month. The Full Tend — all three systems plus the rest of the digital side — runs about $2,400/month. Every number is a cap, not a retainer: you only pay for work that actually happened, and you can stop any month with no penalty.
Turn them on one at a time.
You don't buy a package. You turn on the system that's leaking the most, see it work, then add the next one when you're ready.

It's a cap, not a retainer.
Every owner we meet has been burned by a flat monthly fee that bought nothing you could point to. This is the opposite of that. The number is a ceiling on what you'll spend — never a floor.
- You only pay for work that happened. Slow month? Smaller bill. We don't charge the cap just because it's there.
- Every dollar ties to something that shipped. You get the "done" texts to prove it — not a monthly "strategy report" that says nothing.
- Over the cap? We ask first. We flag it before we cross it. No surprise invoices, ever.
- Stop any month. No contract, no penalty, no exit fee. The point is the work, not the lock-in.

Text us →Pricing FAQ
Is this a retainer?
+
No. The monthly number is a cap, not a bill. You only pay for work that actually happened, every dollar ties to something that shipped, and you can stop any month with no penalty. See why we don't do real retainers.
What if my month is slow — do I still pay the full cap?
+
No. You pay for the work that happened, up to the cap. A quiet month is a smaller bill. We never charge the cap just because it's there.
What if we go over the cap?
+
We flag it before we cross it and ask you first. You're never billed past the cap without a heads-up. No surprise invoices.
Do I have to buy all three at once?
+
No. You turn on the one that's leaking the most customers, watch it work, and add the next when you're ready — or never. Each is independent and priced on its own. Start with the three questions if you're not sure which.
Do I have to commit to a term?
+
No contract, no minimum, no exit fee. Stop any month. If you leave, you owe only for the work already done — and you keep everything that shipped and got paid for.
What if I just need one thing done, not a monthly plan?
+
We still do one-off work. Text us the thing — a review reply, a broken-link fix, a new landing page — and we'll quote it as a single job. The monthly caps are for owners who want the whole thing tended; one-offs are always welcome too.
How do I pay?
+
We invoice monthly for the work that shipped — card or ACH. No subscription auto-charge, no locked-in billing. You see the work, then you pay for it.
