The Honest Answers

Common questions, real answers.

Why does Valedictorian start at $7,500?

Because the scope is custom. Valedictorian clients are in an active growth phase with real complexity, so we scope the work to the business rather than a fixed list. The starting figure reflects the depth of involvement: advanced SEO, twice-monthly strategy, same-day access, and a custom dashboard.

How is the SEO different from Honor Roll?

Honor Roll is on-page SEO. Valedictorian adds advanced and technical SEO: site architecture, deeper technical fixes, and a more aggressive growth posture. If you are competing in a tougher market, this is the level that matches it.

What does same-day access mean?

Both partners are reachable same day for priority items, and you have two 60 minute Office Hours calls a month rather than one 30 minute call. It is the closest thing to having Ben and Rachel in-house without hiring.

Should I be looking at Dissertation instead?

Maybe. If you want a full year transformation of the business and the owner together, built on The Syllabus with The Diploma at the end, that is Dissertation, by application only. Valedictorian is the top monthly retainer. Dissertation is a different, deeper commitment.
