How we work: month to month, one work queue, and what you keep
We work month to month with 30 days' notice. Every program starts with the paid Buyers Blueprint, then runs from one work queue with a weekly written brief. Below: how a month runs, what website work covers, who owns what and how leaving works, written down before you start.
Month to month, with 30 days' notice
There's no long-term contract. Programs run month to month, and you can end one with 30 days' notice. We stay because the work is useful. You stay because it's working.
The one fixed piece is the start. Every program begins with the Buyers Blueprint, a paid first month that Matt Barden leads. It captures what your plant can do before we build anything on it, and it's the record every page, post and ad comes from.
How an engagement runs
An engagement runs in four parts: the Blueprint, the program, one work queue and a weekly brief.
-
Step 1, OP 10
Blueprint
Paid onboarding. We capture your plant from your website, documents, meetings and an on-site visit, confirm every fact with you and cite it. IKE, our Industrial Knowledge Engine, learns your company here.
-
Step 2, OP 20
Program
Month to month from there: Foundation, Growth or Scale. Each step up adds reach: your own website in Foundation, beyond it in Growth, and a custom strategy led by Matt Barden in Scale. Who steers changes too: your Blueprint plan, a strategist, or Matt Barden as your fractional CMO.

Step 3, OP 30
One work queue
A new machine, a new cert, a new market: each ask goes into one queue, ranked against your plan, with no change order. One job finishes, the next one starts.
-
Step 4, OP 40
Weekly brief
What shipped, what's in progress, what's next, which companies read what, and any decision we need. You decide by replying.
What website work covers
Month to month, website work covers what keeps your site saying what your plant does.
| Covered | |
|---|---|
| New pages | Capability, equipment, process and market pages |
| Edits | Specs, photos, certifications, team, news |
| Maintenance | Updates, backups, security, hosting |
What a request looks like
A request is one change on your floor that your website should say. A new 5-axis machine becomes an equipment page. A new certification goes onto every page where a buyer checks for it. A new market gets a page in that market's own words.
You send it, it goes into the queue, we build it, and you approve it before it goes live. SiteSonar then shows which companies read the new page, and the weekly brief tells you.
Your data and your approval
Nothing about you goes public without your yes. We sign your NDA or send ours before the first document changes hands, and every fact we publish is one you've confirmed.
What IKE learns is manufacturing: how processes, materials and buyer checks fit together. Your record stays yours.
What you keep, and how leaving works
Who owns our website and domain if we leave?
You do. You own your website, your domain and the content we write for you.
How do we leave if it isn't working?
Give 30 days' notice. Your website, your domain and the content we wrote for you stay yours.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Programs run month to month, and you can end one with 30 days' notice.
Do we have to start with the Blueprint?
Yes, for every program. The Blueprint is paid onboarding, and every page, post and ad we make is built from its record.
What does it cost?
It depends on what your Blueprint finds and which program fits. Start with the free Buyer's-Eye Audit; we scope both on the review call after it and put them in writing before you commit.
Who does the work?
Our team, led by the owners.
What does IKE keep if we leave?
What it learned about manufacturing, never your company's record.
Where does AI fit?
Reading, sorting and drafting. People check every fact and you confirm it before it's published.
Start with the RFQ you want to win
Write the RFQ you most want to win in the free Buyer's-Eye Audit, and we'll show you where a buyer would shortlist you or drop you. Then the paid Blueprint, and month to month after it, in the program that fits how much steering you want from us.
