An Important Update to Your Rise Rate

Effective August 1, 2026

Hey — I wanted to reach out directly before you heard anything through billing. If you're seeing this, you're one of our legacy clients — someone who's been with Rise for a while. This page is for you, and you alone. Take a few minutes to read through it and watch the video. I'll explain exactly what's changing, why we're doing it, and what it means for you going forward.

You're a long-time client — and this is a long-overdue conversation.

If you've been with Rise for 2, 3, or even 4+ years, your monthly rate most likely hasn't moved unless you've added services. We locked it in early and just… kept it there. For a long time, that worked.

But Rise has grown a lot since then. The platform we're running today is fundamentally different — more capable, more team-driven, and more expensive to run well. We held off on this as long as we reasonably could.

Every client who has joined Rise since January 1, 2026 comes in at $2,000, $4,000, or Titan-level. They're seeing strong results. It's time to close that gap — not to squeeze you, but to make sure we can keep delivering for you the same way we deliver for them.

Years Without a Rate Increase

For context — other agencies in this niche already charge similar or more for less hands-on support.

We've held legacy rates flat since most of you came on board. That run is ending August 1st.

Legacy Clients Getting This Message

This isn't a blast to all 180+ clients. You're in a small, specific group — and we wanted to talk to you directly.

One number is moving. Everything else stays the same.

Starting August 1, 2026, your monthly rate adjusts to $2,000. That's the only change. Here's what that means in plain language.

What IS Changing

  • Starting August 1, 2026, your monthly rate moves to a $2,000/month minimum
  • This only applies if you're currently under $2,000/mo
  • Billing updates automatically — no action needed on your end
  • If you're already at or above $2,000, this change doesn't apply to you
Simple math: If you're currently at $1,200/mo, you'll move to $2,000/mo on August 1st. That's a $800 difference — and we want to show you exactly what you're getting for it.

What's NOT Changing

  • Your dedicated Account Manager stays the same
  • Weekly communication and reporting continues as-is
  • All channels we manage (Facebook, Google, SEO, etc.) stay active
  • Our focus on your ROI doesn't change — ever
  • Your relationship with our team — same people, same energy
  • Your access to ClearPath AI and all Rise tools
  • Performance tracking and lead reporting
  • Response time, availability, and support

Here's what your retainer has been funding — and why it's worth more now.

Rise in 2023 and Rise today are two different operations. We've made significant investments in team, technology, and capability. Here's the honest breakdown.

2023

In-House Media Buying Team

We moved away from freelancers and built a dedicated, full-time media buying team. Your campaigns are now managed by people who live and breathe land clearing and forestry mulching — not generalists.

2023

Google Ads + SEO Added

We expanded beyond Facebook/Instagram to include full Google Ads management and SEO — so you show up where buyers are searching, not just scrolling.

2024

ClearPath AI Business Advisor

Clients now have access to ClearPath, our AI-powered business advisor built specifically for land clearing operators. Pricing guidance, follow-up scripts, close rate coaching — all in one place.

2024

Dedicated Account Manager Team

We built out a full AM structure — real humans, assigned to you, who know your business and your goals. Less automated responses, more real conversations.

2024

Video Creative Pipeline + Titan Media Days

Video converts. We built a complete creative pipeline and launched Titan-level media day programs where clients get professional content produced for their campaigns.

2024–25

Faster Onboarding (~5 Business Days for Facebook)

What used to take weeks now takes about 5 business days for Facebook campaigns to go live. Speed matters in this market, and we optimized for it.

2025

Speed-to-Lead Monitoring

We now track how fast your team responds to inbound leads — because the data is clear: respond in 5 minutes or less and your close rate doubles. We help you stay accountable to that.

2025

Professional Client Websites

Most operators in this niche have weak or outdated websites. We started building professional, high-converting sites for clients — included in certain service tiers.

2025–26

Weekly Reporting Dashboards

No more guessing. Every client now gets a weekly reporting dashboard showing exactly what's running, what's converting, and what your ROI looks like in real time.

2025–26

CRM + Automation Improvements

We upgraded the backend — better lead tracking, smarter follow-up sequences, and tighter CRM integrations so no lead falls through the cracks after they call you.

We're not done building.

The $2,000 minimum isn't just about catching up — it's about funding what comes next. Here's where we're headed in 2026 and beyond.

  • 🧠
    Deeper ClearPath AI integration — more personalized coaching, automated proposal building, and real-time close rate feedback for your specific market
  • 📊
    Better dashboards and reporting — more granular lead quality data, revenue attribution, and forecasting tools built for operators
  • Expanded speed-to-lead monitoring — proactive alerts and coaching when your team's response time slips, keeping your pipeline moving
  • 🎬
    More creative testing at scale — systematic A/B testing on ad creative, headlines, and offers so we compound what's working faster
  • 🔽
    Titan-level systems trickling down — tools and workflows built for our highest-volume clients are being adapted for all tiers as we scale

You've got three paths. None of them are complicated.

We want to make this simple. Here's how we see it.

Simple Path

Stay at $2,000/mo

$2,000 /mo

This is the right move for most of our clients. You want your phone ringing, 2–4 weeks of work booked out, and consistent growth without a ton of overhead. We handle the marketing. You handle the jobs. That's the deal.

You don't need to do anything. Your billing updates automatically on August 1st.

Tight Season?

Let's Talk First

No pressure.

We get it. Some months are tighter than others. Equipment breaks. Weather turns. Cash flow gets complicated. We're not going to pretend that doesn't happen.

If the timing is genuinely hard for you right now, don't just cancel — book a call and talk to us. We'd rather have a real conversation than lose a client we've worked with for a while. We'll figure it out together.

Have That Conversation

This is a real offer. We mean it.

Started at under $500/mo in revenue when he came to Rise. He'd never really marketed before — just word of mouth. Today he's doing over $100,000 per year in documented revenue from Rise campaigns. His close rate went from 4% to 15% — nearly 4x. Same market. Same operator. Different results.

$500/mo → $100K+/year in revenue

Forrest Whittaker came to Rise with $2,000 in his bank account and said he was ready to file bankruptcy. Within months of working together, he landed a $113,000 job. Not a pipeline. Not a lead. A closed, paid job. That's what a working marketing system does when it's dialed in.

$2K in the bank → $113K job landed

One of our clients came in at the $1,500/mo retainer level — right in the legacy tier. They stayed consistent, trusted the process, and leaned into the system we built for them. They're now generating $3.2 million in annual revenue while still working with Rise. The retainer didn't change. The output did.

$1,500/mo retainer → $3.2M in revenue

Questions we're expecting — answered honestly.

No spin. Just straight answers.

Why are you increasing my rate now?
Honest answer: we held off as long as we could. Your rate hasn't moved in 3–5 years, and in that time we've added a full in-house media buying team, Google Ads, SEO, ClearPath AI, dedicated AMs, video creative production, speed-to-lead monitoring, and more. Every new client since January 2026 starts at $2,000 minimum. The gap between what legacy clients pay and what it actually costs to run their accounts well has gotten too wide to ignore. August 1st is us closing that gap — not squeezing you.
How did you decide on $2,000 as the minimum?
$2,000/month is the floor we set for all new clients starting in 2026. It reflects the actual cost of running a well-managed campaign — media buying time, AM coverage, reporting, creative, platform tools, and everything in between. Below that threshold, it's genuinely hard to deliver the results we want to deliver. We're not trying to be the cheapest option in the market — we're trying to be the most effective one.
Will my service or performance change?
No. Your AM stays the same. The channels we manage stay the same. The reporting, communication, and ROI focus all stay the same. The goal of this change isn't to alter your service — it's to make sure we're resourced well enough to keep delivering it at a high level. If anything, a healthier agency means better resources, faster responses, and more tools for your account.
What if my cash flow is tight right now?
Book a call and talk to us. We're not going to just ignore that reality. If there's something genuinely going on — slow season, equipment issue, cash crunch — let's have that conversation before you make any decisions. We've worked with a lot of operators through hard stretches, and we'd rather work something out than lose a client we've been building with for a while.
Can I upgrade to Growth or Titan later?
Yes — whenever you're ready. Growth ($4,000/mo) and Titan (higher investment + a performance component) are both available. When you're at a point where you want to scale harder — more crews, more markets, more volume — those tiers are built for that. Just book a call with your AM or with Katie and we'll walk through what makes sense for where your business is headed.
What happens if I do nothing.?
Your billing updates automatically to $2,000/month on August 1, 2026. You don't need to fill out a form, call anyone, or take any action if you're staying. Service continues as normal. The only thing that changes is the number on your invoice. If you want to talk it through or have questions, book a call — but you're not required to do anything to stay active.

If you're good with this, you don't need to call us or reply. Your billing updates automatically on August 1st.

What if I have a special arrangement or a different rate we agreed on?
If you have a written or documented arrangement that's different from what's described here, reach out to your AM or book a call before August 1st. We honor what we've agreed to. This page describes the standard change for legacy accounts under $2,000/mo — if your situation is different, we'll sort it out directly and make sure you're taken care of.
Does this reset my contract?
No. Your existing contract term stays the same. Only the monthly rate changes on August 1st. Nothing else about your agreement is affected.

Thank you for trusting us with your business.

I don't take lightly the fact that you've been paying us every month, trusting that we're doing right by your company. That trust means something to me and to our whole team. This change isn't us pulling away from that relationship — it's us trying to show up more fully in it.

Watch the video, read through the FAQs, and if you have questions, book a call. We're not going to leave you hanging on this. And if after we talk, it still doesn't work — we'll help you find a lower-cost option. Austin's free OWNR OPS Skool community is a great starting point. We won't let you walk away with nothing. There's a real person on the other side of that booking link who knows your account and wants to talk.
