The team behind your agency

Hand us the work. Take on more clients.

Every account gets a senior strategist and the specialists to deliver. You are never the project manager.

You brief once, approve what ships, and spend your week selling and serving clients.

Your central team keeps the plan.

We deliver it across every property, clinic or unit, with one reporting pack.

How it works

Four steps. Then it runs.

  1. You choose what to hand over.

    SEO, paid, content, builds, or all of it. We agree the scope, the accounts and the monthly retainer in writing before anyone starts.

  2. We join your team.

    Your senior strategist and the specialists are in your Slack and your tools on day one. You send access; we send a plan by week two. Your clients see your name and your process. They never see ours.

  3. We do the work.

    You brief once. We deliver to the agreed scope, on the agreed dates, and bring you finished work to approve. Progress is visible without you asking.

  4. You grow. The retainer follows.

    New campaigns are quoted first and billed separately, so the base retainer never creeps. When you win clients, we scale up. If you lose one, we scale down. Six-month first term, then monthly.

The terms

What happens if it doesn't work.

We write the exit into the contract so you don't have to negotiate it later.

  • Day 60: a fit check.

    If it isn't working, either side says so.

  • Six-month first term, then monthly.

    Scale down or stop after that.

  • You own everything.

    Accounts, data and every piece of work, from day one.

  • We never face your clients, pitch them, or take them.

    It's in writing. Account protection ↗

The AI under the work

The AI system under every account.

We built our own AI system.

It's called LOKI and it sits under every account: research, audits, drafts, reporting, QA. Our specialists start from a finished first pass, not a blank page.

We are a member of the Claude Partner Network, and other companies pay us to train their teams on the tools we use every day. About 1,500 people trained in the last two years.

Common questions

Before we talk.

Do you replace an existing agency, or work alongside?

Either. We start by identifying who owns the marketing plan, which responsibilities are already covered and where you need the work done. If you are an agency, the client relationship stays yours and our work stays under your name. See the agency model ↗

Who owns the work, the data and the accounts?

You do, from day one. Your business keeps its accounts, its data and every piece of work produced for the engagement. For an agency, the client relationship and the brand on the work remain yours. Access, responsibilities and handover are agreed at the start. Read the account-protection rules ↗

Can we scale down or stop?

Yes. The first term is six months, then the retainer runs monthly. After the first term you can scale down or stop. At day 60 we run a fit check, and either side can say it is not working. You keep your accounts, data and work throughout.

Do you guarantee results?

No. We agree the scope, the responsibilities, the milestones and the measures of success in writing. We do not guarantee a search ranking, an AI recommendation or a revenue outcome, because those depend on factors outside the work as well as the work itself. Your strategist shows progress and trade-offs as they happen and adjusts the plan when the evidence calls for it.

Why not just hire in-house?

Hire in-house when you have a clear role and enough continuing work to fill it. A LOKAL retainer gives you a senior strategist and the specialists the agreed work needs, configured around that work rather than a job description. We can also support the people you already employ.

How does it start, and what does it cost?

Start with a 30-minute consultation. Agency retainers start from USD 2,000 a month, one retainer per partner, configured around the account work. Multi-location work is scoped in the consultation. Six-month first term, then monthly, with a day-60 fit check. See how agency pricing works ↗
