The GrowthMap™ app showing a sample business’s plan: next steps grouped by this week and this month, each linked to the kit that does it.
The real app, with a made-up business in it.

Here’s the app you’ll build from.

The real app, with a made-up business in it. Yours fills in from your answers and the research it runs on your market.

  • The plan screen: next steps in order, with status and the kit for each step.

    Every piece, in the order that pays off first

    This week, this month and what comes after. Each step names the GrowthKit™ that builds it.

  • The research screen: findings ranked by impact, with sources and full reports.

    Your market, researched for you

    AI agents read your competitors, your search results and your reviews, then rank what they find, with sources.

  • The kits screen: your kits, the three included with the GrowthMap™, and the rest at the member price.

    Your first three kits, ready to start

    AI Foundations and the three GrowthKits™ your plan puts first, plus 30% off the rest.

Over a founder’s shoulder at golden hour, a laptop shows a growth plan with three steps in order and one bottleneck highlighted.

You’ve paid for marketing in pieces, and the pieces never added up.

  • A website from one company, ads from another, posts whenever someone has time.
  • An agency wanted a monthly retainer before anyone looked at your numbers.
  • Marketing happens at night, after the kids are asleep.
  • You’ve asked ChatGPT for ideas, got a page of them and closed the tab.
  • You can’t say which channel brought last month’s best customer.
  • Every week brings another AI tool you’re told you need.

Now your AI agent can build every piece with you, once it knows your business and has the plan.

Two ways the next 30 days can go.

  1. Piece by piece: You build whatever comes up first.

    With your GrowthMap™: You build each piece in the order that pays off first.

  2. Piece by piece: Money goes out before anyone knows what’s holding sales back.

    With your GrowthMap™: Your research shows what’s holding sales back before you spend.

  3. Piece by piece: Every AI chat starts from zero, because it doesn’t know your business.

    With your GrowthMap™: Your AI agent already knows your business, your customers and your offer.

  4. Piece by piece: The plan lives in your head.

    With your GrowthMap™: The plan lives in an app you open every week.

Here’s how week one goes.

  1. About 30 minutes

    Answer plain questions about your business

    Your goals, your customers, your offer, your numbers and what you’ve already tried. That’s the only homework.

  2. The app does this

    Your plan comes back researched

    AI researches your competitors, your search results and your reviews, then follows the planning method our team uses at the start of every engagement to lay out every piece of your engine, in order.

  3. The same week

    Your AI agent gets to work

    AI Foundations sets your AI agent up to know your business. Then your first GrowthKit™ starts on the piece your plan puts first.

Your plan covers every piece of the engine.

Nine parts, each written for your business from your answers and your research.

  1. Customers

    Who buys from you, what they want and why they choose you.

  2. Positioning

    Where you stand against the alternatives, and the ground worth owning.

  3. Offer & message

    What you sell, said plainly enough for a buyer to repeat.

  4. Channel plan

    Google, Maps, AI answers, social and ads: where to show up, what to spend and in what order.

  5. Website & conversion

    What your site needs to do to turn visitors into inquiries, and what to change first.

  6. Sales

    How an inquiry becomes a customer, and where it stalls today.

  7. Measurement

    What to track, so you can see what every dollar brings in.

  8. Where AI fits

    The jobs your AI agent can take on now, and the ones to keep in human hands.

  9. Your next steps

    This week, this month and what comes after, in order.

You start with the plan, your AI agent and Ben.

One purchase, $297 once: the GrowthMap™ app for your business, AI Foundations, the first three GrowthKits™ your plan recommends as they release, and 30% off every other one. Founding members get Ben’s help getting it all set up.

  • The GrowthMap™ app

    Your plan for every piece of the engine, researched and in order.

    Included

    Your AI agent set up to know your business. The first step every kit builds on.

    $27Included

    The three your plan says to build first, added to your account as each one releases. Each leaves you with something finished you keep.

    $79 eachIncluded

  • Founding-member onboarding

    While the GrowthKits™ roll out, Ben walks founding members through their plan and their first steps personally.

    Included

  • Every other GrowthKit™

    Coming soon. Members get them at member prices as each one releases.

    30% off

Built for owners who still make the calls.

A good fit if

  • You run an owner-led business with customers and some marketing already.
  • You want the whole engine built, and you’d rather direct the work than do all of it.
  • You want AI working on your marketing, without chasing every new tool.

Not the right fit if

  • You already know the one piece you need. A single GrowthKit™ is faster.
  • You want the whole engine built for you. That’s a Full Build.
  • You’re after the cheapest website you can get this week.
Ben Kouba

Designed by people. Powered by AI.

I built the GrowthMap™ from what our team does at the start of every engagement: study the business and its market, find what’s holding sales back and decide what to build first. We’ve done that for 221 businesses since 2009.

The first version was a questionnaire and a PDF. Now AI does the legwork: the research, the first drafts, the setup. Our people designed the plan and the kits. Your AI agent carries them out with you, and you make the calls.

Questions before you start.

What exactly do I get?

The GrowthMap™ app with your plan inside: every piece of your marketing engine, researched for your business and in the order that pays off first. Plus AI Foundations, your first three GrowthKits™ as they release, 30% off every other kit, and, for founding members, Ben’s personal help getting started.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT?

A chat answers the question you type, then starts from zero next time. The GrowthMap™ asks the questions a strategist would, researches your market, and writes your business down once so every kit after starts from it. The method behind it is the one our team has used since 2009.

Which AI agent does it work with?

Claude or ChatGPT. AI Foundations sets up whichever you use to know your business.

Is 30 days realistic?

The GrowthMap™ is week one. After that it’s one GrowthKit™ a week, in the order your plan sets, for an owner who can give it about five hours a week. The GrowthKits™ are rolling out now, so founding members work through the first steps with Ben while the rest release.

Do I need to be tech-savvy?

No. If you can answer questions about your business, you can do week one. Each kit takes you through every step.

Can I update my plan later?

That’s the point of an app: when your numbers change, your plan should too.

Are kits included?

Three are: the first three your plan recommends, added as they release, plus AI Foundations. Every other kit is 30% off for members when it launches.

What if I want your team in it with me?

That’s GrowthMap™ advisory, $1,500 a month by application: every month we read your numbers with you and adjust the plan. We work with eight businesses at a time.

Your whole first week, in one purchase.

For $297, once:

  • The GrowthMap™ app, with your plan inside

About GrowthMap™ advisory

Why it’s an app you build from.

Because a report gets read once.

The first GrowthMap™ was a questionnaire and a PDF. The app is where you build: every kit starts from what your GrowthMap™ already learned about your business.

Because every step should end in something built.

Each step in your plan names the GrowthKit™ that builds it, so the plan turns into finished pieces you keep.

Because the first step should be the one that pays.

Your plan starts with the piece most likely to bring in customers soonest, so week two is already working for you.

Start your first week today.

$297 once, about 30 minutes of questions, and your AI agent ready to build.
