growth system

Most local businesses don't need an agency.
They need the machine built.

A months-long agency plan is not always what you need. Sometimes what moves revenue is a single package that builds the foundation for customers to find you online. One payment, and you end up owning a website that converts, Google Ads running, your Google Business Profile fixed, Meta Business organized, conversion tracking that actually reports, and content ready to publish. Every account stays in your name.

who builds it

A studio, not a marketplace.

Pi Mídias is a marketing studio with an in-house video production arm, based in Porto Alegre, Brazil. We build the website, run the paid campaigns and produce the content that goes into them — the whole chain under one roof, without subcontracting the middle of it.

Dets Electric, an electrical contractor in Massachusetts, hired us to build their marketing project: the website, and a lead acquisition system running on Google Ads.

He was not starting from zero. He had been running Google Ads himself, from an account put together by hand, and it was already bringing him work. That was the proof we needed: in this trade, Google search is where the customer looks first — our own market research said the same thing — and even a rough campaign was paying for itself.

So we rebuilt it properly. A new website. His Google Business Profile redone the right way: verified, correct categories and services, and the new address after he moved. And a Google Ads account structured from the ground up — 95 researched keywords, 207 negatives, 15 ad groups, and conversion tracking that reports what actually comes back. See the site for yourself at detselectric.com

The work is what he hired us for, and the work is what he got. The surprise came after: the same scope, quoted by agencies here in the United States, comes back at several times the price. That combination — this level of work, at a fraction of what it costs here — is what started this page. If we can build it for a contractor in Massachusetts, why aren't we building it for companies across the country?

01

Everything in your name

Domain, hosting, Google Ads account, Google Business Profile, Meta Business Portfolio, Pixel. All created under your ownership, with us added as managers. If we part ways, the account history — the most expensive asset a campaign builds — stays with you.

02

No 1099, no withholding

Services performed entirely outside the United States by a foreign entity do not require a Form 1099 or tax withholding. We provide a signed W-8BEN-E with the contract so your bookkeeper has the file they need.

03

Paid like a domestic vendor

We invoice in US dollars and receive by ACH bank transfer to a US routing and account number, or by PayPal. You never wire money overseas and you never send card details by email.

our work

What we do at our agency in Brazil

Campaign pieces, brand films, testimonials and aerial work. Script, shoot and edit, all in house. The editing you see here is the editing your videos get. Click any of them to watch.

the two packages

One payment.
The whole setup.

The difference between them is not the number of line items. It is whether you want the system handed to you ready to switch on, or already switched on and managed for the first three months.

what this normally costs

The same scope,
bought piece by piece.

These are published US market rates for each component, from independent pricing surveys — not our numbers. We are listing them because a package this complete at this price raises a fair question, and the honest answer is that our cost base is in Brazil and yours is not.

Business website, US average $2,000 – $8,000

Google Ads account setup / onboarding fee $500 – $2,500

Google Ads management, per month $500 – $2,000

Short-form vertical video, per video $500 – $1,000

Bundled local marketing packages, per month from $1,000 + setup

At the low end of these published ranges, the Basic scope bought separately starts around $5,000 and the Premium scope around $9,000 — before any monthly contract. Sources: One Little Web website cost study, Clicks Geek Google Ads pricing guide, Vidico social video cost report. Ranges are third-party estimates and vary by market and scope.

the outcome

You are not buying a website.

You are not hiring us to build a website or to create social media posts. You are getting a complete digital customer acquisition infrastructure — your website, your Google presence, your paid advertising, your tracking and your content — connected into one growth system, and every part of it registered in your name.

Google and Meta advertising budget is not included in either package. It is yours, charged to your card, paid directly to the platforms.

growth management

Once it's built,
someone has to run it.

Optional monthly management

The Growth System builds the machine. Growth Management keeps it running: campaigns optimized every week, negative keywords maintained, creative swapped when it fatigues, and a monthly report in plain English.

It is optional and contracted separately, and the price follows the scope: Google Ads management starts at US$ 250 per month. Growth Premium already includes the first three months — after that you continue only if you want to. There is no lock-in: the ad account is yours, in your name, and the performance history stays with you.

  • Weekly campaign optimization
  • Negative keyword and search term management
  • Bid and budget adjustments
  • Creative refresh when performance drops
  • Monthly report: spend, cost per lead, what changes next month
  • One point of contact, one calendar, one invoice

good to know

The things usually buried
in the fine print.

01

What "remote video" means

No crew flies to your site. We build the videos from what you already have — phone footage, job site photos, product shots, your logo — plus licensed stock and, where it genuinely helps, AI-assisted elements. You get professional editing, motion graphics and branded titles.

We tell you before you buy whether your material can carry five or ten videos. If it can't, we say so instead of shipping filler.

02

The ad budget is yours

Not included, and that is deliberate. The package price is the work of building the system. Ad budget is fuel: charged to your own card, paid straight to Google and Meta without passing through us. The two never appear mixed on a quote.

03

You already have a website

The diagnostic decides the route. If your current site loads fast on a phone, ranks, and has a clear path to contact, we tune it instead of rebuilding and the effort moves to the other fronts. You hear that before you pay, not after.

04

After the three months

Nothing switches off. The campaigns keep running on your account. You can take management in-house, hand it to someone else, or continue with Growth Management month to month. No automatic renewal, no cancellation fee.
