How working together works.
Five steps, from the first conversation to the work that keeps it growing. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
First
Apply
Six short steps, about six minutes. We read every one and reply by email.
- You
- Tell us about the business, what you want built and what’s in the way.
- We
- Read it closely and reply: a scoping call if it’s a fit, or the better first step if it isn’t.
Week 1
Your GrowthMap™
Every build starts from your plan: your market researched, what’s holding sales back, and every piece of the engine in order.
- You
- Answer the questions a strategist would ask, and share the numbers you have.
- We
- Research your market and competitors, and write the plan with you.
Then
Scope and price
We scope the build from your plan, so you pay for what it calls for and nothing it doesn’t.
- You
- Decide what to build first.
- We
- Price the build piece by piece, straight from the plan.
Next
Build
Our team builds the base first, then the pieces that bring customers in.
- You
- Review and approve each piece before it goes live.
- We
- Design, build and test it. AI does the legwork; people make the calls.
After launch
Grow it together
We stay. We read the numbers with you and adjust the plan as the business changes.
- You
- Make the calls, month to month.
- We
- Run it, measure it and keep improving it.

We have launched a website in the past with a different company, and I can say the experience with Leaf9 was exponentially better. Their knowledge was helpful and we used it as a guide in all our decisions.
You work with the people who designed the plan.
A small team in Venice, Florida, led by me. We designed the GrowthMap™ and every GrowthKit™, and we’ve built growth systems for 221 businesses since 2009. Thirty-five of them have been with us for more than nine years.
On a build, our people do the building and AI does the legwork. You and your team make the calls. We take on no more than two new clients a month, because an engine like this only works when someone is paying attention to it.
Ben KoubaFounder, Leaf9
Apply in about six minutes.
Six short steps. Your answers tell us both whether a build is right before anyone spends a dollar, and they make our first reply about your business.
- What you want built
- The business, and how customers find you today
- What would make the next year a win, and what’s in the way
- Roughly what it brings in and what you spend on marketing
- Your budget and timing
- Where to reply
We read every application and reply by email: a scoping call if it’s a fit, or the better first step if it isn’t.
Start the applicationA good fit if
- You run a founder-led business that’s past $250,000 a year.
- You want to own your site, your data and your accounts.
- You’d rather make the calls than do the building.
Not the right fit if
- You want the cheapest site you can find.
- You need it live next week.
- You want AI sending messages with no one checking them. We keep a person on every message AI drafts.
Questions owners ask before they apply.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the scope your GrowthMap™ calls for.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. The site, the accounts and the data are yours.
What does AI do, and what do people do?
Our people design the plan and do the building. AI does the legwork: drafting, sorting, testing and answering first. A person approves every message before it goes out, and you make the calls.
Will this replace my team?
No. It gives them help. AI takes the drafts and the busywork; your people decide what’s right for your customers and approve what goes out. They become the creative directors.
We’ve been burned by an agency before. What’s different here?
You see the plan before we build anything, you approve each piece before it goes live, and the site, the accounts and the data are yours. With no more than two new clients a month, you won’t be handed to a junior account manager.
Do I need a GrowthMap™ first?
Every build is scoped from one. If you don’t have yours yet, it’s the first step.
Can you work with my current site or tools?
Often, yes. The GrowthMap™ tells us what to keep, what to fix and what to replace.
What if we’re not a fit?
We’ll say so, and point you to the step that fits: the GrowthMap™, a GrowthKit™ or someone better suited.
