Executive leadership

Priorities, campaign direction, budget recommendations, and accountability across the marketing plan.

See included work
  • Set priorities across the website, search, content, email, partnerships, and campaigns.
  • Recommend where marketing time and budget should go before work begins.
  • Keep decisions, owners, approvals, and deadlines clear.
  • Review specialist work against the larger strategy and Opulence brand.

Content & website

Four SEO blogs each month, routine website improvements, and stronger local visibility around priority services.

See included work
  • Research, write, upload, format, and optimize four blogs each month.
  • Keep existing service information, team content, offers, images, and links current.
  • Improve priority pages for clarity, search intent, and conversion.
  • Guide local SEO and Google Business priorities for Chicago and the West Loop.

Campaigns & team coordination

Campaign messaging, email direction, creative briefs, partnerships, and coordination with the people carrying out the work.

See included work
  • Develop campaign messaging around the services and audiences we prioritize.
  • Prepare email copy, content briefs, and photo or filming shot lists.
  • Coordinate approved partnership and in-spa marketing materials.
  • Give advertising, content, and other specialists clear direction and feedback.

Tracking & reporting

Reporting that connects visibility and campaigns to inquiry, booking, rebooking, and membership communication.

See included work
  • Establish a baseline and check agreed website and campaign tracking.
  • Review GA4, Search Console, Google Business, content, and campaign performance.
  • Review suitable aggregate booking, membership, and revenue reports when access is available.
  • Separate interest signals from completed appointments and turn the findings into next priorities.

Marketing should not stop at the click.

My front-desk experience helps me see the handoff between a campaign and an appointment: what clients ask, what the team needs, and where follow-up or booking can break down.

The first 90 days

Start with the facts, put the first priorities into motion, and use the results to decide what comes next.

Month 1

Understand & align

Confirm priority services, existing commitments, account access, tracking gaps, approvals, and business goals.

Month 2

Execute & coordinate

Publish approved content, improve priority pages, launch agreed campaigns, and keep specialists aligned.

Month 3

Review & plan ahead

Compare results with the baseline, identify gaps in the client journey, and set the next quarter’s priorities.

Clear terms.
Room to customize.

This is how I see the partnership working best. We can refine the final scope together before signing the service agreement.

Six-month commitment

The engagement begins with a six-month commitment. The start date, invoice schedule, cancellation terms, and final scope will be confirmed in the service agreement.

Approvals and responsibilities

Opulence approves clinical statements, patient imagery, prices, offers, budgets, provider availability, and final business decisions. The team continues to handle patient communication, appointments, and daily practice operations.

Costs and work outside the retainer

Advertising, software, printing, events, travel, photography, advanced production, and outside specialists are additional. Major redesigns, new integrations, direct paid-ad account management, and fixed social or email production volumes are separately agreed.

Optional Opulence service or product credit

If useful to both parties, a service or product credit can be discussed and documented separately. It is not assumed in the $5,000 monthly fee.

Fractional CMO rate context

The fCMO Agency and Fractional CMOZ publish package examples that help frame the market. They are pricing and scope references only, not claims about the provider Opulence is meeting.
