HomeWhat I doGrowth Foundations

Growth Foundations · from £9,000 · 6–10 weeks

Your growth setup, built properly and handed over.

The tools your company runs on, chosen, set up and connected, so analytics you can trust, automation on the same data, and experiments up and running. One fixed price, agreed before we start.

Who it is for

You are early, you have funding, and nothing is measured yet.

  • You have just raised money, or you are about to, and the growth plan in your deck needs a real setup behind it
  • You have a product, a website and some traffic, but three people in your team quote three different conversion rates
  • The CRM is a spreadsheet, the emails are sent by hand, and nobody can say which channel is working
  • Something was set up before, but nobody trusts it and you would rather fix it properly
  • You want your own team to run growth afterwards, with the right tools and clear notes

What you get

Everything on this list, nothing vague.

Growth Foundations

I build your growth system

For companies that have a product and a website, but no proper setup behind them yet. Also for companies that have a setup nobody trusts. I build the whole operating stack, not only the marketing part of it.

  • Workshops with you and your team, and a review of what you already have
  • We agree the funnel, the KPIs and the tracking plan in writing before anything is built
  • We choose the tools you need, across analytics, marketing, CRM and sales
  • I set up and configure every tool we agreed on
  • I connect the tools to each other, so everyone sees the same numbers
  • Events added with your developers, following a brief I write, then checked against real traffic
  • Automations wherever they save your team time
  • The first customer journeys live: welcome, activation and win-back
  • Dashboards, and a reporting rhythm your team can keep
  • An A/B testing setup and a first list of tests
  • Written notes for every part of the setup, and a handover session

Not included

  • Running it after the handover. That is what Growth Lead and Growth Team are for.

What moves the price

  • A mobile app as well as a website
  • Fixing a broken existing setup instead of starting fresh
  • Several tools at once, or a data warehouse and reporting layer on top
  • Team training beyond the handover session
  • A lot of coordination with an outside development agency

I give you the full price after the first call, and it does not change once we have started.

Then what?

Most companies keep me on afterwards. If you move from Foundations to Growth Lead (£3,000/month) or Growth Team, you get 15% off the monthly price for as long as you stay.

Prices are in GBP and exclude VAT where it applies. I invoice in GBP, or in EUR or USD if you prefer. Ad spend and specialist fees are quoted separately.

Timeline

How the weeks go.

The order matters. Each step only works if the one before it is done properly.

Weeks 1–2

We agree what to measure, in writing

Workshops with you and your team, and a look at whatever is already in place. We write down the funnel, the KPIs and every event before anything gets built. This is the step that makes everything else work.

Weeks 2–5

We set up the tracking and check it

Analytics and Tag Manager set up, events added with your developers, then every event checked against real traffic. Twice: before release and after.

Weeks 4–7

Email and CRM, on the same data

I choose the CRM and automation tools for your stage, set them up and connect them to the same data as the analytics. The first customer journeys go live: welcome, activation and win-back.

Weeks 6–9

Dashboards and the first experiments

Dashboards that show where the funnel narrows. Experiments set up, with a first list of tests ranked on evidence. A weekly rhythm your team can keep without me.

Final fortnight

The handover

Notes for every part of the setup, so your team knows how it works and why it was built that way, and a handover session to walk through it. Then your team takes it on, or I stay and run it on Growth Lead or Growth Team at 15% off.

When a channel needs a specialist, I bring in someone from my network. These are people I have worked with for years. I brief them, check their work and stay responsible for the result. Meet the network →

The actual work

What you end up holding.

A few examples of what I hand over, taken from real projects. Client names and URLs have been replaced.

Tracking plan · GA4 and Tag Manager
A tracking plan spreadsheet: each event has a name, a plain-English description, the exact dataLayer code for developers, and columns marking it implemented and tested.
Every event gets a name, a description in plain English, the exact code your developers paste in, and a column that is not ticked until I have watched the event arrive. This is the document we agree before anything is built.
Lifecycle journey · customer.io
A lifecycle automation: a trigger on an appointment request, then timed waits and three emails, with the number of people currently at each step.
A journey that starts when someone books, then follows up over the next two weeks. Built once, then running every day without anyone touching it.
The same journey, reporting · customer.io
The reporting view for the same journey: how many emails were sent, and the open and click rates over the last month, each as a chart over time.
The same journey, a month later. Sent, opened and clicked, over time, so we can tell whether it is still working rather than assuming it is.

Questions

Questions about Foundations.

What does “from £9,000” actually cover?
The setup for one product on the web: the tracking plan, one analytics tool, one CRM or automation tool, the integrations between them, the first customer journeys, dashboards and an A/B testing setup. That is the starting point. The things that add to the price are listed on this page, and I give you the full price before we start.
Do you need our developers?
Yes, for the tracking. Your developers add the events to the product, following a brief I write. Everything else, including the checks, is my job. If you have no developers, I can bring one in from my network, quoted separately.
Which tools will you pick?
Whatever fits your stage and what you already have. Usually GA4 and Tag Manager, one of Mixpanel or PostHog, and one of HubSpot, customer.io or Mailchimp for email. No tool pays me to recommend it.
What happens after the ten weeks?
Either your team takes over, with the notes I leave, or you keep me on monthly. If you move from Foundations to Growth Lead or Growth Team, you get 15% off the monthly price for as long as you stay.
Can we skip Foundations and go straight to a monthly package?
Yes, if your current setup works. I will tell you honestly on the first call.
What if we only need one part of this?
Then it is a Growth Project rather than Foundations: just the analytics, just the automation stack, or just the dashboards. I scope it on a call and send you a fixed price in writing.

A thirty-minute call, no slides.

If I am not the right fit, I will say so on the call and tell you who is.
