What must be true
A few closed jobs must repay the install and operating cost. If your average job cannot support that, the diagnostic should stop us early.
PRICING
Public pricing for the system you own.
Three commitment shapes. Same installed AI growth system. Same 5× ROI floor. The fit question is whether your market opportunity is large enough for Ascend to be obvious.
- Typical Y1 system cost
- $78K Pilot plus nine operating months after conversion.
- Pilot graduates
- $0 No second install fee after the $15K Pilot.
- Distribution budget
- 1:1 You pay ad platforms direct. Buildwise never touches ad dollars.
Three Ways to Start
Same system. Three commitment shapes.
Pilot proves the first layer. Ascend runs the full system. Pro is for owners trying to widen the market gap faster.

Why this is worth it
Premium pricing only works when the math is visible.
Ascend is not priced for hobby marketing. It is priced for service businesses where an owned, improving system can change the year.
Why public pricing
Qualified owners should know the economic class before sharing company numbers. No price-discovery call required.
Why it earns back
Ascend attacks leaks closest to cash first: slow response, quote follow-up, booked-job tracking, and channels already showing signal.
WHAT YOU GET
The 8 layers that run your growth.
Every tier runs on the same operating system. The layers connect so improving one helps the rest.
01
Visibility
Show up when buyers search, ask AI, or compare local providers.
02
Conversion
Make calls, forms, pages, and quote paths easier to act on.
03
Speed-to-Lead
Reply before the lead cools off or calls a competitor.
04
Sales Ops
Keep quotes, pipeline stages, and past leads moving.
05
Reputation
Turn finished work into reviews and proof.
06
Paid Media
Watch spend, test creative, and move budget toward better leads.
07
Reporting
Show spend, source, calls, leads, booked work, and next moves.
08
Strategy
Use a weekly scoreboard instead of a late-month guess.

Two paths from here
Start with the
Dossier.
The diagnostic tells us, and you, whether Ascend fits your business. If it does, the call starts with a Market Dominance Dossier instead of a cold sales pitch.
