One number. One offer. No tiers to work out.
The Fractional CMO & Marketing Manager retainer — Jacksonville & Northeast Florida$2,000 a month for the combined function of a marketing manager and a CMO — strategy and execution, from one accountable source. Below: exactly what's included, and how a website build fits in when you need one.
The retainer
Positioned against the $60K–$100K+/yr loaded cost of hiring a marketing manager or CMO as an employee — not against other agencies.
- Quarterly marketing roadmap + monthly strategic check-in
- 12+ social posts/month + Google Business Profile fully managed
- 2 email campaigns/month
- 1–2 SEO & AEO blog posts or site updates/month
- Paid channel management — Google LSA, Google Ads, Meta Ads
- Marketing plan on the 1st, performance report + live dashboard by the 5th
Restaurant, cafe, or small local shop? This retainer is built for businesses further along than that — reach out anyway and we'll give you a straight answer on fit →
Two layers, one accountable source.
6-month initial term, then month-to-month — cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. No minimum beyond that, no penalty.
What's included
- Strategy (the CMO layer): a quarterly marketing roadmap — channel and budget priorities, what runs and why — plus a monthly strategic check-in alongside your report
- Execution (the marketing-manager layer): 12+ social posts a month (Facebook + Instagram or Google Business Profile) and 2 email campaigns a month
- Google Business Profile management — posts, Q&A, photo uploads, and review responses within 48 hours
- 1–2 blog posts or website content updates a month (SEO- and AEO-targeted — written to rank in Google and to be citable by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews)
- Paid-channel management — Google LSA, Google Ads, and Meta Ads campaign setup and bid management (ad spend itself always billed directly by the platform)
- A marketing plan delivered on the 1st — what's going out and when
- A plain-English performance report and your live Command Center dashboard by the 5th of the following month
What's not included
- Ad spend (billed directly by Google or Meta, never by Swaha AI)
- Website builds or redesigns (scoped separately, see below)
- Video production or editing
- Graphic design beyond basic social templates
- Custom photography
- Full technical AEO audit (llms.txt, site-wide schema markup, AI-crawler access review) — available as a one-time add-on
- Strategy work for a second location or a second business
Directed by the retainer, billed separately.
A new site isn't part of the standing $2,000/month offer — the same way a real marketing leader would scope a web project, not build it as a fixed menu item. When the roadmap calls for one, it's quoted against the actual scope, typically $500–$1,500.
What's included
- A production-ready site (page count scoped to the project — the First Coast Sod reference build is 10 pages)
- A built-in blog, pre-loaded with starter posts
- Local-SEO foundation — pages targeting your service + city searches, Google Business Profile-ready
- Your own live Command Center dashboard — calls, rankings, and traffic in one place
- Automated email follow-up for every quote or contact form that doesn't convert on the first visit
- Mobile-first design, basic on-page SEO, Google Analytics setup (with your consent)
What's not included
- E-commerce or online payment integration
- Custom photography (you provide images, or stock is used)
- Video embeds that require licensing
- Ongoing blog writing after launch (the retainer covers new posts)
- Copywriting from scratch (you provide content; it gets refined)
- Custom domain purchase (you buy your own domain)
A website build can start with or without an active retainer — ask on the call and we'll scope it either way.
