Financial Engagement Architecture
We have replaced the bloated Bronze, Silver, and Gold agency retainer model with a three-phase engagement ladder built entirely around clinical evidence. You do not commit to a retainer before you have a diagnosis. You do not pay for scale before you have seen proof of execution. Every phase must earn the right to activate the next.
Phase 01
Forensic Audit
$0 Waived
Phase 02
Remediation Sprint
From $1,000 flat
Phase 03
Revenue Defense Retainer
From $1,000 / month
Each phase is a discrete financial commitment with a defined deliverable. No phase is mandatory until you have reviewed the outputs of the previous one. This is how a qualified engagement is structured. Not a subscription trap.
Phase 01: Mandatory Entry Point
Diagnostic Phase
Normally $497
Waived for qualified managing partners.
No engagement at SEOXIA begins without a completed Forensic Audit. This is a non-negotiable operational protocol, not a courtesy. We do not prescribe services for a firm we have not diagnosed. The audit is the clinical foundation that justifies every subsequent financial recommendation we make on your behalf. You receive a documented findings report, not a pitch deck.
Required before Phase 02 or 03 can activate.
⚙ Most Firms Start Here After Audit
Phase 02: No Recurring Fees
Trust Leak and Map Pack Remediation
One-time. No subscription. Scope confirmed from audit.
The Remediation Sprint is a fixed-fee, one-time project engagement. There are no recurring charges at this phase. The scope is built exclusively from the Priority Stack delivered in Phase 01. We target the highest-impact, fastest-resolution failures in your organic infrastructure, which are almost always Trust Leak deficiencies and Map Pack displacement. You pay once. You receive a delivered, documented remediation. Then you evaluate the results.
Phase 03: Ongoing Revenue Defense
Authority System. Pipeline Engineering.
Scope and rate confirmed after Phase 01 and 02.
Once trust signals are stabilized and Map Pack positioning is secured, the final phase is a sustained authority and pipeline defense program. This is an ongoing retainer engagement structured around continuous finance-relevant link acquisition, topical authority cluster development, and technical SEO monitoring. You do not enter this phase until Phase 01 and 02 have established a proven foundation of execution.
All retainer engagements are scoped individually. Starting prices reflect the minimum engagement floor for a single active intervention stream. Complex, multi-market, or multi-service-line firms will receive a scoped proposal derived entirely from their Forensic Audit findings. We do not publish maximum retainer rates because we do not pre-build packages.
We have answered the three questions that every serious financial decision-maker at a CPA firm asks before authorizing a vendor engagement. These answers are not hedged. They are direct.
Start the Free Audit →Engagement Protocol
Because quoting a retainer before conducting a diagnostic is a professional failure. Every other agency in this space will give you a price based on your monthly revenue, your firm size, or your service aspirations. None of those variables tell us what is actually broken in your organic infrastructure.
The audit is the mechanism by which we determine what scope is genuinely warranted. A firm with a severe Map Pack displacement problem does not need the same engagement as a firm with a deep authority gap. Prescribing the same retainer to both is negligent. We refuse to operate that way.
The Forensic Audit is not a lead qualification tool for our benefit. It is a clinical diagnostic that protects your firm from paying for interventions you do not need. It is mandatory because accuracy matters more than deal velocity.
Timeline and Velocity
The Forensic Audit is delivered within five to seven business days of intake completion. Priority Stack review and engagement scoping is completed within two business days of audit delivery. Upon confirmation of Phase 02, the Remediation Sprint activates within the same week.
For the most common findings, which are citation inconsistencies, GBP signal failures, and review profile deficiencies, measurable movement in local visibility is typically observed within 30 to 45 days of sprint activation. Technical remediation and authority building operate on a longer compounding timeline, with substantive ranking movements benchmarked at 60 to 90 days.
We do not promise specific movement timelines as contractual guarantees. We commit to defined deliverable execution timelines. Results operate on organic infrastructure principles, not on scheduled calendar events.
Guarantees and Commitments
This question deserves a direct, unambiguous answer. We operate in a sector filled with agencies that guarantee first-page rankings or specific position outcomes. Those are fabricated promises built on a fundamental misrepresentation of how Google's algorithm functions. No external vendor controls an algorithm. We do not make that claim.
What we guarantee is categorically different and infinitely more enforceable:
✓ We Guarantee This
✗ We Do Not Guarantee This
Any agency that guarantees you a top-three ranking is lying to you. We guarantee the clinical work. The algorithm rewards it on its own schedule. That is the honest answer, and it is the only credible one.
The next step costs you nothing. The Forensic Audit is the lowest-risk, highest-information action you can take for your firm's organic revenue infrastructure today.
The decision to engage SEOXIA should not be made on the strength of this page alone. It should be made on the strength of what the Forensic Audit reveals about your firm specifically. That is the purpose of Phase 01. It transforms a vendor evaluation into an evidence-based business decision.
You do not pay for the audit. You do not commit to a retainer because of the audit. You receive a documented diagnosis of every organic revenue failure active in your firm's infrastructure and a ranked protocol for addressing them. Then you decide what, if anything, to act on.
$497

Waived
Forensic Audit. 140 diagnostic checkpoints. The standard fee of $497 is waived for qualified managing partners at CPA and accounting firms. Intake capacity is intentionally limited per cycle to protect diagnostic quality.
"The audit is not the product. The audit is the proof of process." A firm that invests in clinical accuracy before financial commitment is a firm that earns the right to long-term partnership. That is the only model we operate.
