How is this different from a regular marketing agency?

Most agencies keep you dependent. They own your website, control your data, and if you leave you start over. We build a system inside your business that you own forever. We train you to run it. And if you want us to manage it monthly, we do that too, on your terms.

I'm not tech-savvy. Will I be able to use this?

Absolutely. That's what the 12 weekly training calls are for. We walk you through everything in plain English. Plus you get a written playbook. Our guarantee: if you're not confident after 90 days, we keep training you for free until you are.

How long until I see results?

Your system goes live progressively over 90 days. Many clients see their first new leads within weeks 4-6 as visibility increases. The full compounding effect builds over 3-6 months as rankings, reviews, and content accumulate.

What if I already have a website?

We'll evaluate it during your strategy call. Sometimes we build on what you have; other times starting fresh is the better investment. Either way, the system is designed around what makes sense for your business.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

The system build is a one-time investment. No contract beyond the 90-day build. For monthly management, our guarantee gives you a clear exit after 90 days if results aren't there. We earn your business every month.

How much does digital marketing cost for a small business?

It depends on what you need. Most agencies charge $1,500-$3,000/month for services you don't own. The F.A.S.T. System Build is a one-time $7,250 investment that you own forever: website, automations, content, all of it. If you want ongoing support after that, plans start at $495/month, with F.A.S.T. Management at $2,500/month. Either way, one new client typically pays for the entire investment.

Do you work with businesses outside San Jose?

Yes. While we're based in San Jose, we serve local businesses across the entire Bay Area: Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Mountain View, Milpitas, Fremont, Palo Alto, Campbell, Los Gatos, and beyond. Our on-site photography sessions cover the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

We build your complete marketing system in 90 days. From there, you choose how much ongoing support you want - run it yourself, keep your website and SEO sharp with us, or hand us the keys entirely. Same system. You pick the level of support that fits your Bay Area business.

Which Plan Fits

Choose the path that matches how you work

System Build is for you if:

You want the full marketing system built and handed to you. You or someone on your team will manage the website, post to social media, and handle ongoing SEO after we train you. You are hands-on and want full control over your marketing without a monthly commitment.

Growth Plan is for you if:

You want to focus on running your business, not managing a website. You need your site updated, your content fresh, and your search rankings climbing - but you do not need someone managing your social media or Google profile for you. You want ongoing support without full-service overhead.

F.A.S.T. Management is for you if:

You want someone handling all of it. Social media, Google Business Profile, strategy calls, content creation, quarterly photography - the full operation. You focus on your customers. We focus on making sure new ones keep finding you.

Context

What San Jose businesses typically pay for marketing

Typical agency retainer

$2,000 - $6,000/month

You pay monthly. If you cancel, the website, SEO work, and automations go with them.

Full-time marketing hire

$5,000 - $7,000/month

Salary alone, before tools, software, training, or benefits.

Freelancer patchwork

$1,000 - $3,000/month

One person juggling SEO, content, and design. No system. No continuity.

SJFast

$7,250 one-time build + optional ongoing from $495/month

You own the system. The website, automations, and data stay with you - even if you leave.

After Day 90

What happens after your system is built

Your system goes live

Website, automations, Google presence, review engine, lead follow-up - everything is running and connected.

You have the training and the playbook

After 12 weekly strategy calls, you know how to manage every piece of the system. Your Marketing Playbook documents the whole process.

You choose your path forward

Run it yourself with everything we taught you. Keep us on the Growth Plan for ongoing SEO and updates. Or hand us the keys with F.A.S.T. Management.

No pressure. No pitch on the last call.

You decide what makes sense for your business. If you want to go it alone, we will make sure you are ready.

You will know exactly who is building the strategy, systems, and content before you decide on ongoing support. Learn more about the team on our about page.

Pricing FAQs

Straight answers for owners comparing options

These are the questions we hear most from local business owners looking for a San Jose marketing agency that does more than sell another monthly retainer.

It depends on what you need and who you hire. Most San Jose businesses pay anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 a month for agency retainers, and they usually do not own anything when the contract ends. SJFast works differently. You pay $7,250 once for the full system build, and everything we create is yours. If you want ongoing support after that, plans start at $495 a month. No retainer traps and no vague deliverables.

No. The System Build is a one-time project with a clear 90-day timeline. If you choose an ongoing plan after that, both the Growth Plan and F.A.S.T. Management are month-to-month. Cancel anytime. Everything we built still belongs to you.

Yes. We work with local businesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Fremont, and beyond. Our system is built for local businesses that serve a local market.

Everything you need to show up, get found, and start generating leads: a professional website built to convert, Google Business Profile and Maps optimization, social media profiles, automated lead follow-up, online booking, review automation, professional photography and video, a competitor research report, a 90-day content starter kit, 12 weekly 1-on-1 strategy calls, and your Marketing Playbook. You own all of it when we are done.

Yes. Many clients start with the System Build, run the system on their own for a few months, and then decide whether they want the Growth Plan or F.A.S.T. Management. There is no deadline to add a plan, and no penalty for waiting.

The Growth Plan covers your website and SEO: fresh content, search optimization, blog posts, and lead system monitoring. You handle your own social media and Google Business Profile, or do not do them at all. F.A.S.T. Management includes everything in the Growth Plan plus we manage your Google Business Profile weekly, create and post social media content for you, hold a monthly strategy call with a performance report, and come on-site every quarter for new photography and video.

Yes. The website, the CRM data, the automations, the content, the photos, the videos - all of it stays with you. We build on platforms you control. If you ever part ways with SJFast, nothing disappears.

Most agencies in the San Jose area charge $2,000 to $6,000 a month on retainer, and you are essentially renting their work. Cancel, and you start from scratch. SJFast is different because you pay once to own the system. The ongoing plans are optional and month-to-month. And because we limit F.A.S.T. Management to 10 clients at a time, we are not running a volume operation.
