How much do quarterly marketing reviews cost in Houston?
A quarterly review is where the decisions get made that a monthly report is too close to see. At BayouEdge it comes with the AI Marketing System at $2,500 a month as monthly optimization and performance review, and with strategic optimization in Authority Builder at $3,500 a month. It is not sold as a separate engagement.
What quarterly is for
Monthly reporting answers "what happened". Quarterly answers "is this still the right plan".
Those are genuinely different questions, and the second one gets crowded out if it is never given its own slot. Most marketing that quietly stops working does so because nobody ever stepped back far enough to notice.
The questions a quarterly review should ask
Is the mix still right? Three months is long enough to see which channels produce booked jobs and at what cost. Long enough to judge, short enough to change.
Has the business changed? New service line, new area, a technician hired or lost, a competitor arrived. Marketing built for last quarter's business is a common and invisible waste.
What is the season ahead? In Houston this is concrete. The quarter before summer and the quarter before a freeze need different work, and the review is where that gets planned.
What did we get wrong? Stated plainly. A review with no mistakes in it is a presentation.
What are we stopping? Usually the hardest and most valuable item. Marketing plans accumulate; without a deliberate stopping decision they become a list of things nobody has the nerve to cancel.
Why three months
Search rankings move over months. Paid campaigns need weeks to gather usable data. Content published in month one may not rank until month four.
Judging any of that monthly produces reaction to noise. Judging it annually is too slow to correct anything. Quarterly fits the actual rhythm of the work.
Who should be in it
Whoever can decide something. A review that produces recommendations nobody in the room can approve becomes a document rather than a decision.
For most Houston small businesses that is the owner, and an hour of their time each quarter is the best-value hour in the whole arrangement.
What should come out of it
Three or four decisions, written down, with owners and dates. Not a deck.
And one number to watch for the next quarter, agreed in advance, so the following review has something to be measured against.
For seasonal businesses
Align the quarters to your demand rather than the calendar. Reviewing in the month before your busy season is worth more than reviewing on the first of January because that is when quarters start.
Getting one
Bring the last three months of enquiries by source and what closed. That is the whole input.
Frequently asked questions
Why quarterly rather than monthly?
