A note from the founders

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.

Questions 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 drafts your emails, follow-ups and invoice reminders; you approve them. 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, is coming soon, from $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?

Not yet, but soon. Grow One will work on its own from $34.99 a month. It sorts your inbox, drafts replies and follow-ups, reminds late payers, keeps your calendar, takes meeting notes and builds your landing page. Want it to post on social media too? That's the Creator plan.

Where are you located?

We're based in San Francisco, California, and work with small businesses across the US and Mexico, 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.

Is Google Ads worth it for a small business?

Yes, if people already search Google for what you sell, like "plumber near me" or "accountant in San Francisco". If they don't, ads on Facebook or Instagram may fit better. We'll tell you honestly which one makes sense for your business.

How much should I spend on ads each month?

We recommend at least $800 to $1,000 a month, paid straight to Google, Facebook or the other platforms. The right amount depends on your type of business and your market. The Growth plan covers ad budgets up to $3,000 a month; bigger budgets go on a Custom plan.

Can AI run my ads for me?

Partly. Google and Facebook already use AI to show your ads, but a person still needs to set the goals, watch your money and fix what isn't working. That's what we do, and we'll show you where AI can save you time.
