One Plan. Five Stacks. Everything Connected.
$2,500/month. One flat fee. All five stacks. Setup fee paid once based on scope. Month-to-month after that. No tiers, no add-ons, no surprises.
SEO Baked Into Every Page From Day One.
Most websites get built first, then someone tries to bolt SEO onto them later. Smart Stack does it the other way. Every page ships with schema markup, clean heading structure, canonical URLs, and the entity signals that local search and AI search actually read. Nothing retrofitted. Nothing waiting on an audit to fix.
- Schema markup written as the page is built
- Entity signals for local search and AI search
- Every page auto-submitted and indexed in Google

SEO built in, not bolted on.

Pricing Questions
Straight answers before you commit
What does the setup fee actually cover?
Everything to get you operational. The Knowledge Stack interview, full Knowledge Stack population, GHL configuration, website infrastructure deployment, and all five stacks connected. Scope determines cost, a simple service business with one location starts lower than a multi-location operation with complex automations.
- Knowledge Stack interview is a paid onboarding session, not a free consultation
- Setup is one-time, monthly billing starts after you're live
Is there a contract after the setup fee?
Month-to-month after the setup fee is collected and build is complete. No annual contracts required. Stay because the system is working, not because you're locked in.
- Cancel with 30 days notice after setup is complete
- Setup fee is non-refundable, it covers real work already done
What do I keep if I cancel?
You keep your published website files and your GHL account. Those are yours. The Knowledge Stack infrastructure stays with Smart Stack Method, it's the system we built and operate.
- Published website HTML files, yours to keep
- Your GHL account and contacts, yours to keep
Does the $2,500 include paid advertising?
No. The $2,500 is infrastructure, website, content, automation, AI, analytics. Paid ads are a separate budget you control. We build the infrastructure that makes your ads work better, but the ad spend is yours.
- No ad spend included or managed
- GHL subscription ($97–$297/month) is also separate, billed by GHL directly
How long does setup take?
Typically 2–4 weeks from setup fee collected to all five stacks operational. The Knowledge Stack interview happens first. Knowledge Stack gets built. Then infrastructure deploys. Timeline depends on your responsiveness and scope complexity.
- Knowledge Stack interview scheduled after setup fee is collected
- Faster turnaround when clients respond quickly to Knowledge Stack prompts
Who is this not right for?
Businesses looking for the cheapest option. Owners who won't participate in the approval process. Anyone expecting results without showing up. This requires 15 minutes a week minimum, if that's too much, we're not the right fit.
- Not for passive business owners who want zero involvement
- Not for businesses with budgets under $2,500/month
