Here's a side-by-side comparison. The numbers are real \u2014 we know because we've heard the same story from dozens of Adelaide business owners who switched to us.
| Feature | AI Adelaide | Typical agency |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | from $199/mo (automation) / $399/mo (SEO) | $2,000-5,000+/mo |
| Lock-in contract | None — month to month | 12 months typical |
| Setup time | 2-5 days for automation, 5-7 days for website | 3-6 months onboarding |
| What you get | AI-powered SEO, content, lead capture, follow-up — all working 24/7 | A junior team doing the work manually |

| Who does the work | AI tools + Adelaide-based specialists — lean, fast | A mix of juniors, contractors, offshore |

01
You know exactly what you'll pay every month. No scope creep, no surprise invoices for ‘extra hours’ or ‘strategy sessions’. We list the price on the website. You can see it right now.
02
Month to month. We earn the work every month. If you're not happy, you walk — we don't make you beg. 12-month contracts are a tax on the agency for being too slow to deliver. We move fast enough that you'll stay.
03
Agencies bill you for junior hours. We bill you for AI outputs. The work is faster, the cost is lower, and the quality is more consistent. We use AI for research, content, lead capture, and reporting. We use humans for strategy and review.
04
We're born and based in Adelaide. We know Norwood isn't the same as North Adelaide. We know the difference between a Glenelg cafe and a Mitcham cafe. Sydney agencies can't fake this.
05
We don't do ‘brand awareness campaigns’ or ‘thought leadership content’ unless they directly drive customers. We focus on three things: getting you found on Google, capturing every lead, and following up automatically. That's it.
06
You own your website, your content, your Google Business Profile, your automation. If you decide to go elsewhere or do it yourself, you take everything with you. No hostage situations.
Real businesses. Real numbers. Here's what changed after they got a proper website and SEO.

From tradies to clinics to cafes — see what our clients say about their new website, SEO, and automation.
I used to lose 2-3 leads a week to missed calls. Now everything comes through automatically. Paid for itself in the first month.

I honestly didn't think it would work for a small clinic like mine. Now my front desk spends half the time on admin and we've had zero no-shows since we set up the reminders.

The bookkeeping prep alone saves me 4 hours every week. My accountant is happy. I'm happy.

Testimonials shown are samples illustrating typical results. Individual outcomes vary based on business, industry, and local market.
Three big things. (1) We're AI-first — not junior team + offshore outsourcing. (2) We're fixed-pricing — not hourly billing. (3) We're no lock-in — month to month. Plus we're Adelaide-based, small-business focused, and we own the work. The result: better outcomes, lower cost, no BS.
Adelaide marketing agencies typically charge $2,000-5,000/month for SEO, paid ads, and content. The big ones can hit $10,000+/month. We charge from $199/month for AI automation, $399/month for SEO, $699 for a website. Most of our clients spend $400-700/month total.
Depends on the package. Website: live in 48 hours, generating enquiries in 1-2 weeks. SEO: first movement in 2-4 weeks for niche suburbs, 2-3 months for competitive areas. AI automation: first recovered leads within days. We'll give you an honest assessment on the free chat.
Not at the moment. We focus on organic SEO and AI automation — they give much better long-term ROI than paid ads for small businesses. If you need Google Ads management, we can refer you to a partner agency we trust.
We hear this a lot. The honest answer: a lot of Adelaide marketing agencies overcharge and underdeliver. We're not them. We're happy to start with a small package (just AI automation, for example) so you can see how we work before committing. No lock-in means no risk.
Not directly. We focus on the things that drive customers: website, SEO, AI automation. If you need branding, we can refer you to a designer we work with. If you need video, we can recommend a videographer. We keep our scope tight so we can be excellent at what we do.
No. Month to month on SEO and automation. One-off on websites. We earn the work every month. The reason agencies lock you in is because their results take 6+ months to show. Ours show in weeks. We don't need a contract to keep you.
Yes. On the free chat, we can connect you with a current client in your industry. Most are happy to talk about their experience, what worked, and what didn't.
