Big companies have always had more: more people, more budget, more help. AI is the first thing in a long time that can close that gap, but only if someone shows you how to use it. That's why we started Grow Forward MC: to run your ads, answer your questions in plain English, and make sure you don't get left behind.
Simple prices. No long contracts.

Let's talkQuestions we hear a lot
I'm not a tech person. Is this for me?
Yes. That's who we built this for. We explain everything in plain English and do the setup for you.
Do you run all of my marketing?
No. We run your ads and advise you on the rest. Grow One helps with emails and reminders. You stay in charge of your business, your brand and your social media.
How much does Grow Forward MC cost?
A one-hour Strategy Session is $300. The Growth plan is $1,250 a month plus your ad budget. Custom plans start at $3,000 a month. Our app, Grow One, starts at $34.99 a month.
Is my ad budget included in the price?
No. Your ad budget goes straight to the ad platform, like Google or Facebook. You pick the amount, and you can change it anytime.
Will you build me an app or a website?
No, not as part of a monthly plan. If you have a bigger idea, book a session and we'll tell you honestly what it would take.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Growth has a 2-month minimum because ads need a little time to learn what works. After that, it's month to month.
Can I just use the app?
Yes. Grow One works on its own from $34.99 a month, and the first 7 days are free.
Where are you located?
We're based in San Francisco, California, and work with small businesses across the US, in English and Spanish.
Where do you run ads?
On Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, ChatGPT and more. We pick the platforms where your customers spend their time.
