Frequently asked questions
Do I need T1 before T9?
Strongly recommended. T1 Foundation is the prerequisite for every other tier to deliver full value. A site without the T1 baseline will underperform on higher tiers.
Can I run T9 without a monthly retainer?
Yes. The $497 one time covers deployment plus the first 30 days. After that, the tier continues to work, but ongoing iteration and reporting require the monthly. Most clients find the monthly pays for itself through compounding gains.
What is the typical commitment?
Month to month, no cancellation fee. Most clients see compound effect between 6 and 12 months. Early cancellation is allowed with 14 days notice for the next billing cycle.
Can I combine T9 with other tiers?
Yes. Most clients run T1 plus 2 or 3 additional tiers based on their goals. The Full Bundle is also an option if you want every tier.
