Join Emaration — Founding Client offer, first 25 only
Join for
Join for $999 $497 — first 25 Founding Clients.
$999 to join includes the signed six-layer audit and your first 30 days of membership. Our first 25 Founding Clients pay a one-time $497 (then $999) and keep that price for life with a lifetime rate lock. One fixed fee, refundable or credited if you go further, per the Refund Policy. After Founding Client #25, the join price is $999.
Everything to get started, in one move. The signed, founder-reviewed six-layer audit. A founder walkthrough. Your first 30 days of membership, live. A scoped plan with real line-item prices — not a sales pitch. Founding Clients keep this rate locked for life.
- Signed six-layer audit deliverable (written + dashboard + audio variant)
- Your first 30 days of membership included
- 30-minute founder walkthrough call
- Scoped plan with line-item prices for any retainer or lane that follows
- Founding Client status — lifetime rate lock, founder access, named in our story

Why $497 and not $999?
The join is worth $999 against 2026 industry benchmarks. We're charging half for our first 25 Founding Clients because we'd rather earn our first 25 case studies — and lock those founders a rate for life — than charge full price for a program no one has tested yet.
Refund mechanics — plain English
Auto-credit: continue into a retainer within 90 days and the $497 comes off month one. The join effectively becomes free.
30-day no-questions: not satisfied for any reason within 30 days of delivery? Email us. Refund processed within 10 business days.
Full terms: Refund Policy v1.
Retainers — done for you
We run the content operation. Three tiers, scoped from your audit.
This is the premium, hands-off step: our team produces and ships the work for you. Tier bands are the posted starting ranges; your specific monthly fee lands inside one of them once we've scoped against your audit findings. No surprise upgrades, no mystery line items.
Not the same as the membership lanes below. Retainers (Foundation / Growth / Scale) are done-for-you content operations — we make the work. The membership lanes (Watch / Growth / Scale) are we watch, advise & arm you — you keep the wheel. The shared tier names sit on two different ladders; pick the one that matches how much you want us in the doing.
For multi-location operators and growth-mode SMBs.

All retainer tiers are billed monthly in advance, net 15, month-to-month. Posted, flat fees — never a percentage of your ad spend. Pre-approved third-party tool licenses and paid placements are passed through at cost, disclosed in the monthly report. Your client ad spend never touches our billing. Our internal tool stack is included.
Membership — we watch, advise & arm you
Three month-to-month lanes. You keep the wheel.
Lighter than a retainer, sharper than going it alone. Pick a lane, get our eyes on your numbers and our judgment on call, and add metered jobs when you need a push. All month-to-month, posted prices, no lock-in. Founding Clients keep their rate for life.
These lanes are distinct from the done-for-you retainers above: retainers mean we make the work; membership means we watch, advise and arm you while you run the work.
Eyes on the numbers.

Members-only — metered AI jobs
Need a focused push? Run a job.
Members can fire off a single, scoped AI job whenever a specific problem needs muscle. Posted flat prices, $500–$997 each. Members-only — they're part of belonging to a lane, not an à-la-carte store. Founder-reviewed before anything ships; nothing auto-publishes.
The job menu
- J1 — AI Visibility Sprint · $750
- J2 — Competitor Teardown · $750
- J3 — Content Sprint · $500
- J4 — Deep Signed Re-Audit · $997
- J5 — Schema Deployment Pack · $500
- J6 — AI Reputation Teardown · $997
- J7 — Migration Redirect Matrix · $997
- J8 — Backlink Gap + Outreach · $500
How jobs work
Each job is a single, posted, flat-fee piece of work — $500 to $997. You buy them as a member; Growth includes a job credit each quarter and Scale includes one every month. Use credits first, then add jobs as needed.
Every job is founder-reviewed end to end before it reaches you. Nothing auto-publishes and nothing auto-delivers — a human signs off, every time.
Projects & add-ons

- Staging-environment QA pass
- Search Console / GA4 transition checklist
- Post-launch monitoring window included

- Looker Studio dashboard
- Severity-tagged alerts with founder triage
- Monthly anomaly report
Stage 1 program — limited supply
Free Pilot Audit (by application).
While we're in Stage 1, we run a small number of free pilot audits for businesses that fit a specific learning profile. Same six-layer deliverable, same EOCS receipt, no fee — but you commit to a candid 60-minute walkthrough so we improve.
- Full six-layer audit deliverable (technical + content + AIO + measurement + vendor economics + mission/accessibility)
- 60-minute walkthrough call with both founders
- 30-day option to convert to retainer at posted tier pricing
- EOCS receipt issued whether or not you sign
- Limited to a small monthly intake. We review every application and respond either way.
Human in the loop — by rule, not by intention. AI is how we scale judgment, not replace it. A founder reads every deliverable end-to-end before it ships. Every claim cites a data point. Any AI-generated image carries a visible identifying mark. That's what you're paying for at every tier on this page. Read the methodology →
Where 10% of every dollar goes.
10% of net profit flows to Emaration's Outreach and Community Support (EOCS) from every engagement on this page. EOCS funds assistive technology for the blind and Deaf community, starting in Oregon. First product: a re-engineered light-up white cane.
Every client gets an EOCS receipt with their monthly report. We publish the quarterly total. No marketing wrapper, just the math. More about EOCS →
How to get started
Join → Discovery → SOW. Three steps, in that order.
Same path for every engagement on this page. No mystery discovery cycle, no proposal you can't reverse-engineer.
Join
Join for $999 — or, as one of our first 25 Founding Clients, $497 (then $999) with a lifetime rate lock. That includes the signed six-layer audit, the walkthrough call, your first 30 days of membership, and a scoped plan with line-item prices. Prefer to try first? Apply for a free pilot.
Discovery
If you want to go further, we run a 60-minute scoping call against the audit findings. You see exactly which retainer tier or membership lane fits, which line items belong, and which to defer.
SOW
You sign an MSA + a Statement of Work scoped to your business. Month-to-month, no lock-in. The $497 join is credited against month one. Founding Clients keep their rate locked for life. Work starts the next business day.
