The Journey

Audit. Build. Watch.

PHASE 01 · The Problem

Your agency is busy.
Your results aren't.

You're paying every month and still can't answer the basic questions. The systems that should answer them were never built. That's what Illum fixes.

01
SYMPTOM

Monthly reports full of impressions and clicks. Zero connection to booked jobs.

02
SYMPTOM

Estimates go out and disappear. No follow-up sequence, no second touch, no automated recovery. Most of that revenue is still sitting there.

03
SYMPTOM

Reviews happen when someone remembers to ask. Your competitor has 200. You have 40. The gap compounds every month.

04
SYMPTOM

Missed calls go cold. No automated follow-up, no recovery sequence, no second chance.

PHASE 03 · The Illum Build

One-time installation.
Infrastructure you own.

We build every system inside accounts you control. The scope is defined by your audit findings — whether you need a full-stack installation or ownership transfer of what already exists. Either way the outcome is identical: you own every platform, every account, every automation at Day 60. We are removed from access. Nothing rented. Nothing held.

$19,500

Billed across three milestone payments. Your $2,497 audit is credited toward the first.

MILESTONE 1· Kickoff
$4,003after audit credit
MILESTONE 2· Mid-build
$6,500Day 30
MILESTONE 3· Handoff
$6,500Day 60

No payment is due until work begins. Each milestone unlocks the next phase of the build.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Questions worth asking
before you sign anything.

The audit is required. It's not a formality — it's how we know exactly what to build. Every build is scoped off the audit findings. Skipping it would mean building without a blueprint.
Every account we build or rebuild is created in your name with your billing information from day one. Google Ads, Meta, CallRail, your CRM automations, your review platform — all of it. If you fired Illum on day two of the build, you'd keep everything built so far. That's the whole point.
An agency runs your marketing inside accounts they control and charges you every month to keep access. When you leave, you start from zero. Illum installs the infrastructure inside accounts you own, trains your team to run it, and hands you the keys. There is no ongoing dependency — unless you want one.
You do — or someone on your team. That's the point. We hand over full credentials, operating playbooks, and trained systems on Day 60. If you want us to stay involved, Active Watch and Infrastructure Guard are available. But they're optional, not required.
No. The audit runs independently of your current agency relationship. We go into your accounts, score everything, and show you exactly what you own and what you don't. You decide what to do after that. Most clients transition out of their agency during or after the build.
The build is $19,500 gross ($17,003 net after your audit credit). It splits into three payments of $6,500: one on day one, one on day 30 when core infrastructure is live, and the final payment on day 60 when everything is built, transferred, and yours. You never pay the final milestone until the work is done.
Good — that means your Build is about ownership transfer and configuration, not starting from scratch. The audit tells us exactly what exists, what is working, and what needs to connect. Some clients need full installation. Others need cleanup, attribution wiring, and handoff. The price is the same because the outcome is the same: you own and control everything when we are done.
