Next Step Services Talk to Adam
Small-business owner reviewing the workday

Small-business marketing for owners who got quoted by the big agencies and walked.

About 80% of what a full marketing team would deliver, at about 20% of the cost. Foundation $695 a month. Month-to-month, no contracts. One operator running it: Adam.

The first conversation is free. No pitch deck, no discovery-call gate. Adam reads every inquiry himself and replies the same business day.

THE SYSTEM

How this works in three steps

01

Talk.

Send a short message about what you do and where you're located. No pitch deck, no pressure. Adam reads every inquiry himself and replies the same business day. If we're not the right fit, Adam will say so.

02

Build.

Once you sign on, setup runs $1,500 to $5,000 one time depending on tier. We build a real CRO-built website, not a template you fill in. We set up your Google Business Profile, put real local SEO in place, and give you a personal email line for sending photos and updates straight to Adam.

03

Run.

AI handles the boring 80% of the work: research, drafting, posts to your Google listing, monitoring, monthly reporting. Adam handles the strategy, the editing, and the judgment calls. Monthly management runs $695 to $2,495 depending on tier, month-to-month, no contracts.

Pricing on the page

Most agencies in this price range hide pricing. We don't. Foundation $695 a month, $1,500 setup. Capture $1,495 a month, $2,500 setup. Full Stack $2,495 a month, $5,000 setup. The number on the page is the number on your invoice.

Each tier's deliverables are written line-by-line on the pricing page, no "and more" filler.

If you've been burned before

Owners who paid an agency $2,000 to $3,000 a month for six months and got nothing visible. Three things on this site are written specifically for that reader.

price_check

The price is on the page.

Foundation $695 a month plus $1,500 setup. Capture $1,495 a month plus $2,500 setup. Full Stack $2,495 a month plus $5,000 setup. No "call for pricing." No discovery-call gates.

event_repeat

Month-to-month, no lock.

No 6-month contract, no 12-month contract. Cancel anytime. The contract isn't what keeps you. If the work isn't producing, you can leave next month.

description

A one-page report each month.

What was done, what changed, what's next. If a month goes by and you can't tell what we did, the report is broken and we'll fix it.

What AI does, what Adam does

The pricing is only possible because the work splits cleanly. AI handles research, content drafting, posts to your Google listing, monitoring, and reporting. That's the boring 80% that most agencies pay junior marketers to grind through. Adam handles the strategy, the editing, and the judgment calls AI cannot make.

You're paying for what only a person can do, plus the AI tooling that handles the rest. Not a SaaS platform you log into. We run the system, you don't operate it. One person at the wheel, with AI doing the lifting underneath.

Common questions

How is your pricing so much lower than other agencies? expand_more
AI does about 80% of the production work: research, drafting, monitoring, reporting. That's the work agencies pay junior marketers to do. Adam handles the strategy, editing, and judgment calls AI cannot make. The cost savings get passed through to the price. You're paying for what only a person can do, plus the AI tooling that handles the rest.
What does "done-for-you" actually mean? expand_more
You don't log into anything. You don't write content. You don't post to Google. You get a one-page report at the end of each month showing what was done, what changed, and what's next.
Are there long-term contracts? expand_more
No. Monthly management is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime. Setup is a one-time project with a defined scope. The contract isn't what keeps clients. If the work stops producing, you can leave next month.
Will I talk to a salesperson or to Adam? expand_more
Adam. He answers every inquiry. There is no sales team because there is no team. The person you talk to is the person doing the work.
Can I talk to a current client? expand_more
Honest answer: Next Step Services is freshly repositioned, so the public client roster under this name is thin. Adam has been doing SEO and small-business marketing for 20 years. The experience is real, the brand is fresh. The substitutes for a client reference are written into the deal: published pricing you can verify, line-by-line written scopes you can read before signing, and month-to-month so you can leave if it's not working.
What does the monthly report look like? expand_more
One page. Plain English. What was done, what changed, what's next. No 12-page PDF, no jargon, no dashboard you have to learn. If you can't tell from the report what you're paying for, the report is broken and we'll fix it.
