About the Company

Who is Growth Recon AI?

We're a digital marketing agency for US-based local service businesses. We work with painters, roofers, med spas, women's travel operators, and real estate agents. Our specialty is combining real competitive intelligence with paid ads, AEO, and AI automation.

Where are you based?

We operate across the US. Our team works remote and we serve clients in every major US market.

How long have you been doing this?

Long enough to have generated $4.5M+ in revenue in 12 months for clients across 5 verticals. We don't lead with years. We lead with results.

About the Services

What's the difference between Lead Machine and AEO Optimization?

Lead Machine runs paid ads on Meta and Google. AEO Optimization gets you cited in AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Different game, same goal: more inbound demand. Most clients run both.

Do I need to start at Level 1?

No. Start at any level. Most clients start with the free report so they can see the quality of our intel firsthand. Then they pick the level that matches their goals and budget.

Does the AI receptionist make outbound calls?

No. Emma is inbound only. She picks up calls, qualifies leads, books appointments. She does not cold call. She does not chase. She catches the demand your ads and intel are creating.

Can I add Emma to any package?

Yes. Emma is a bolt-on. $1,500 setup + $500/mo on top of any tier. Or run her standalone if you're already getting your own leads.

What CRMs do you integrate with?

GoHighLevel, DripJobs, HubSpot, Jobber. If you use something else, ask. Most are supported.

About Pricing and Contracts

Are there long-term contracts?

No. Everything is month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

What's the 30-day guarantee?

Every paid tier has a performance benchmark. If we miss the benchmark in your first 30 days (60 for AEO), we refund your setup fee in full and release you with no further charges.

Why is the setup fee refundable instead of waived?

Because waiving it signals desperation. Refundable signals confidence. We collect the cash flow upfront to cover real setup work. We give it back if we don't hit the number.

Do you need to manage my ad spend, or do I pay it directly?

You pay your ad spend directly to Meta and Google. We never touch your ad budget. You always own the accounts.

About Results

How fast will I see results?

Free report: 48 hours. Intel reports: First report in week 1. Lead Machine: Qualified leads typically within 7 to 14 days. AEO Optimization: Citations within 30 to 60 days. Emma: Live and answering inbound calls within 48 hours of setup.

Can you guarantee a specific number of leads?

We guarantee a minimum performance benchmark per tier. We don't guarantee a specific dollar outcome because that depends on your offer, your close rate, and factors outside our control. We guarantee the system works as designed or you don't pay setup.

Have you done this in my industry?

We work in painting, roofing, med spa, women's travel, and real estate. If you're outside those, ask. The system is industry-agnostic. We've just specialized in those five.
