No guesswork.
Here's exactly what happens in 90 days.

Most agency relationships drain your calendar. Weekly status calls. Endless email threads. Slack pings. Deck reviews. We built SpotiFlow to do the opposite.

Your actual time commitment, month by month:

• Onboarding (week 1 only): one 30-minute kickoff call. We ask precise questions, you answer, we get to work. No homework, no pre-work documents, no second call.
• Content approval (ongoing): ~45 minutes/month. You review 4 AEO-optimized articles before publication. We draft, you approve in HubSpot, we publish. Edits accepted, fast turnaround.
• Monthly review call (optional): 30 minutes. We share results, you share strategic context. If you'd rather just read the monthly report, we skip the call entirely.
• Ad hoc questions (rare): Teamwork messages get answered within 24h. You don't need to schedule a call to ask us something.

Total: under 2 hours per month on average. No standups. No status meetings. No calendar drain. We respect your time because we want to keep you as a client — and draining your calendar is the fastest way to lose one.

On day 1, you get access to a dedicated Teamwork project space. This is where everything happens — not hidden in our systems. You see:

• Every task — what's in progress, what's done, what's blocked. Sequenced by week.
• Every deliverable — drafts, schemas, audits, reports. All attached to their task, version-tracked, timestamped.
• Every comment — internal discussions between our team members are visible to you. No back-room conversations about your account.
• Every time entry — we log actual hours against your retainer. You see where the time went.

This isn't a reporting layer we built for marketing. It's our actual project management system. What we do internally is what you see.

We don't want to trap you in a contract you regret. We want to earn your renewal every month.

The deal is simple:

• Minimum 90-day commitment at signature. This is necessary — the +20 AEO points guarantee requires a full 90-day S.T.O.P. cycle to execute.
• After day 90, cancel with 30 days written notice. No penalty. No exit fee. No clawback clauses. No "payment to release your data".
• You keep everything we built — content, schema, HubSpot AEO setup, entity architecture, methodology documentation. It's all in your HubSpot portal, owned by you.
• Full handover documentation provided on exit so you (or another agency) can continue the work without starting from scratch.

Why we offer this: If we're not delivering value, you shouldn't be paying us. A 30-day notice is enough for both sides to wind down properly. That's the deal.

Nothing gets published on your site or your LinkedIn without your explicit approval. Ever.

The content flow:

1. We research the topic, prompt gap, and citation opportunity.
2. We draft the article in HubSpot as a draft blog post.
3. You get a notification in Teamwork: "Draft ready for review."
4. You review directly in HubSpot. Leave comments. Request edits. Reject entirely if you want.
5. We revise (up to 2 rounds of edits per piece).
6. Once you click approve, we publish and deploy schema.

Same process for every schema deployment, every page optimization, every external citation outreach. You stay in complete control of your brand voice throughout.

If you don't have capacity to review within 5 business days, we flag it and pause. We never publish on silence.

We don't grade our own homework. Every success metric lives in a tool you control.

Primary metric: HubSpot AEO Visibility Score. It's HubSpot's native tool, integrated into Marketing Hub. We track baseline at onboarding, measure weekly, report monthly. The +20 point guarantee is measured here.

Secondary metric: AI Citation Share across 5 LLMs. We run 50+ of your target prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overview. We track how often you get cited vs. your 3 main competitors. Screenshots included in monthly reports.

Tertiary metric: AI-referred traffic in HubSpot analytics. HubSpot natively tracks referrer source. We segment AI-referred sessions, track their conversion rate, and report monthly. Typical AI-referred sessions convert 10x better than Google organic.

Monthly report structure: 2-page PDF delivered in Teamwork. Page 1: key metrics with month-over-month movement. Page 2: what we did this month and what we're doing next month. Plain English. No fluff charts.

Security-conscious? So are we. We ask for the least privileged access to do the job, and we document why we need each permission.

What we need:

• HubSpot Marketing Hub user (Super Admin): required to install HubSpot AEO, manage schema, access all content. This is standard for any AEO work.
• Google Search Console access (read-only): to monitor search impact during and after optimization work.
• Google Analytics 4 access (Viewer): to cross-reference AI-referred traffic with conversion data.

What we don't need: CRM contact data, deal data, sales pipeline, financial data, or anything else outside of marketing execution. If something we request feels excessive, we explain why — or we find another way.

Before kickoff, you receive a one-page access checklist. Everything is scoped, nothing is open-ended. You remove our access the day the relationship ends.

You don't get shuffled through junior account managers. Your account is assigned to one senior strategist from day one — they stay with you for the entire engagement.

Your dedicated senior AEO strategist: 8+ years in HubSpot. Leads methodology, strategic decisions, monthly reviews. This is your point of contact for strategic questions. Based in Europe, works in your time zone.

Execution team (behind the scenes): technical SEO specialists handle schema deployment and crawl configuration. AEO content writers produce the 4 monthly articles under your strategist's direction. Backed by Stratenet's 16 years of HubSpot expertise — the same engineers who run implementations for 200+ HubSpot clients.

What you won't experience: no offshore content mills. No rotating account managers. No "let me check with the team and get back to you." Your strategist has decision authority.

If at some point you decide to build internal AEO capacity, we actively support that transition — instead of blocking it.

During the engagement: every methodology, framework, and decision is documented in your HubSpot knowledge base. Your team can read over our shoulder. We can host training sessions for your marketing team (included, no extra cost) twice a year.

At handover: 60-day transition plan. Full methodology documentation. Access to our internal playbooks. Introductions to our preferred freelancers if you want to hire our execution talent directly (we won't charge a placement fee). Handover call with your new in-house lead.

Why we do this: every SpotiFlow client who graduates to in-house AEO becomes a reference customer. Many come back for strategic audits when they hit a ceiling. Locking you in with proprietary methodology would be shortsighted.

There are no hidden costs in the €2,990/mo retainer. But there are things we don't do — and you should know what they are before signing.

Not included in AEO Growth retainer:

• Paid media. We don't run Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or any paid campaigns. If you need that, Stratenet (our parent agency) offers it as a separate service.
• Website redesign. The retainer assumes your Content Hub site is already in decent shape. If it needs a rebuild, see our AEO Website Ready offer (€19,900 one-shot).
• Complex HubSpot implementations. RevOps work, CRM integration, custom objects, automation architecture — this is Stratenet's core expertise, available separately.
• Writing in languages other than English. Our core AEO content team works in English. French content is available at +€500/mo. Other languages scoped on request.
• Unlimited article revisions. Up to 2 rounds of edits per piece. Beyond that, it indicates we've misunderstood the brief — we redo the article from scratch, no extra charge, but your 2-round edits on that piece are spent.
• Same-day turnaround. We're an async team. 24-hour response SLA, not 24-minute. If you need real-time responsiveness, we're not a good fit.

Everything else that's part of AEO execution is included. Zero upsells, zero surprise invoices.
