The hidden price
“Book a call to hear a number.” A price you have to earn by sitting through a pitch is not a price. It is a negotiation about how much you look like you can afford. Ours is at the top of this page.
Website · video ads · AI booking — one price, printed
The founding rate · first twenty businesses
$497 once the twenty are gone. Founding members keep $297 for as long as they stay — it does not step up in month four.
A converting, premium website built for you — not a template you fill in. Two new video ads every month, made and launched for you. And an AI that answers every missed call, texts every lead straight back, and books them while you sleep. One price. No tiers to climb.
Month to month · thirty days, or 100% money back · your domain and customers stay yours
01 — Everything included
And what each piece costs if you go out and buy it on its own.
Built once$4,050
Setting all that up usually costs about $4,050. Here it is $997, and that covers the AI setup as well. Start with three months up front and it is free.
Every month$2,273
On your own that is seven companies, seven logins and seven bills that do not talk to each other. Here it is one login and one bill from me, already connected.
Total value$4,050 to set it up, plus three months at $2,273 $10,869
You pay
$297a month
Or $891 for those same three months up front — and everything under “built once” is free. $297 stays $297 for as long as you stay.

These are normal US prices, taken from each company’s own pricing page in July 2026 and rounded down. They are not prices I have charged, and not a promise of any result. Ask and I will send you the pages.
02 — The problem
“Book a call to hear a number.” A price you have to earn by sitting through a pitch is not a price. It is a negotiation about how much you look like you can afford. Ours is at the top of this page.
Most shops rent you the site and never say so. You find out at cancellation, when there is no price to buy it and no file to take. Renting is fine. Being unable to leave is not, and a number you cannot see is not a price.
Impressions. Reach. Engagement. The chart went up and the phone stayed quiet. If nobody can tell you what one real inquiry cost, you are not buying marketing. You are funding a learning curve.
The web shop blames the ads freelancer. The ads freelancer blames the site. You are paying three vendors to point at each other, and last Tuesday’s missed call is still gone.
03 — The work
Concept studies — each designed the way I would design yours. Borrowed work proves nothing; this is mine.

Wood-fired.
Farm-close.
Seasonal plates from the valley, Tue–Sun.
Harvest & Hearth — restaurant, concept. Built around one decision: book a table. The menu and the hours are one tap away, because that is what people actually open a restaurant site to find.
Storm response · Licensed in-county
Roofs built for the worst day of the year.
Storm repair, replacement and inspections — crews in your county now.
Get a free inspectionAtlas Roofworks — contractor, concept. The phone number never leaves the screen. Licensing, warranty and response time sit above the fold, because a roofing buyer decides whether to trust you in about six seconds.
Gentle dentistry · Saturdays
Dentistry that feels human.
Gentle care, clear prices, right off Main Street.
Book onlineBloom Dental Studio — clinic, concept. Booking is the whole page. The next open appointment is shown before anyone asks, so nobody has to call during business hours to find out.
Three concept studies, built to show the craft rather than to claim the client.
04 — What you get
The site is built to convert the traffic the ads bring. The AI catches everything the site and the ads produce. The same person builds all three, so there is nobody left to blame.
Built for you, not filled in by you
Two new videos, every month
Working at 2am, whether you pick up or not
Most owners hire a web shop, then an ads freelancer, and never get as far as the AI. Here it is one system, on one bill from me, with one place to call when it matters.
05 — The named system
No monthly PDF. No “trust us.” Your own login to the same system I work in — every call, form, text and booking counted the moment it lands.
This screen is a mock-up and every number on it is invented.
Yours will show your own, and nothing else.
06 — The price
That is the founding rate, and it holds for as long as you stay. There is no better package waiting behind a sales call, because there is no sales call and there is no better package. After the twentieth slot the price is $497.
Standard
$497/month
Everything included. No tiers. No add-ons. No separate software bill.
Founding 20
The founding offer
$297 a month. Locked for life.
The first twenty businesses pay $297 a month for as long as they stay — not an introductory rate that steps up in month four. When the twentieth slot goes, it is $497 for everyone after.
There is no countdown clock on this page, and there never will be.
Take a founding slot — $297/moOn now · founding promotion
Normally a $997 build fee. Start with three months up front and all four of these are free — every one of them finished and live before your first month even runs:
That is $997 of setup, free — all of it, when you pay three months up front. At the founding rate your first three months come to $891 in total. Once the twenty are gone, the same three months is $1,491.
Founding — $297/mo$891

Standard — $497/mo$997 build fee plus the first month$1,494
Paying month to month costs more on day one, not less: $1,294 for one month against $891 for three. Better you hear it here than at checkout.

Prices in USD. Month to month, cancel any time. Nothing on this page is a tier. It is the whole offer.

My name is Jay and I run Carmel Signal from the United States. You email, I answer.
The site, the campaigns and the AI are one system, built by my team — so there is no vendor to blame and nothing falls between them.
Thirty days. If you are unsatisfied it is 100% money back — the month, and any months you paid ahead. The first twenty businesses hold $297 a month for as long as they stay.

10 — Questions
Two new video ads every month, built, launched and managed by us. A website built to convert. An AI that answers calls and texts back 24/7, and books onto your calendar. A review engine that asks every customer, and the CRM behind all of it — your own login, not a report. Bought separately that is seven companies and $2,273 a month. This is one system and one bill from me.
Local service businesses, and anyone selling a $500-plus job: home services, contractors, roofing, HVAC, cleaning, med spas, salons, fitness, dental, photographers, coaches and consultants. The test is simple — if your customers are reachable on Instagram or Facebook, this works.
Not for you, if you take one of the founding spots. $297 is the founding rate and it runs until the twentieth spot is gone — after that it is $497 for everyone who comes later. Take one of the twenty and you keep $297 for as long as you stay. It does not step up in month four, or ever.
No, but I will probably rebuild it. The campaigns land on your site, so it has to turn a stranger into a phone call — most sites are built to look right instead. Your domain stays yours, and every word and photo worth keeping comes across.
Yes — and you control the budget. You can start as low as $5 a day, and scale to $20–$100 a day when the returns justify it. It is paid straight to Meta from your own account, never to me — so you always own the account, the data and the decision. My $297 does not move either way.
One week from the day we talk. The site, the campaigns and the AI go live together — a site with nothing driving traffic to it is just a brochure.
It gets answered anyway, around the clock — and when the caller is ready to book, the appointment lands on your calendar. The call that comes in at nine on a Sunday is the one this is built for.
You watch it happen. Every call, form, text and booking is counted in The Signal the moment it lands — the same screen I work in. There is no monthly PDF. Nothing is summarised for you, and nothing waits on me to send it.
Your domain, your content, your customers, your reviews and your lead data are yours the whole way through, and they leave when you leave. The website itself is rented: I build it and I keep it running while you are with me, and that is part of what the monthly pays for. If you go and want to keep the site, it is $1,497, any time, delivered as working files — printed here so you never have to ask.
You stop paying and the work stops — and inside the first thirty days it is 100% money back. No cancellation fee, no notice period and no retention call — you tell me by email and that is the end of it. If you paid three months up front, the months you did not use come back with you.
Yes, there is a budget — and it is yours, set by you. You can start as low as $5 a day and scale to $20–$100 a day when the returns justify it. It is paid directly to Meta, not to me, so you always own the account, the data and the decision. My $297 does not move either way.
Tell me about your business. I read these myself, because there is nobody else here to read them.
