The Productive Business Audit · $350

Find the leak before you buy more leads.

A paid, no-fluff review of where your business is losing calls, quotes, and reviews — delivered as a one-page report with the payback math and a straight go/no-go recommendation.

Book the $350 Audit

Credited toward any install. Never free, never a sales pitch in disguise.

Serving owner-operated service businesses in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Montecito, Summerland, Hope Ranch, and the Mesa.

The math of one job

Most local service businesses do not have a demand problem. They have a capture problem. The phone rings while you're on the tools. The quote goes out and nobody follows up. The five-star job ends without a review request.

Run your own numbers. If your average job is $1,500 and your line misses ten calls a month, only two of those need to have been real jobs for the leak to cost $3,000 — every month.

The audit finds your version of that number. If the system would not pay for itself, the report says so.

Average job value $1,500

Missed calls in a month 10

Of those, real jobs 2

Leaking every month $3,000

Example arithmetic at a $1,500 ticket. Your audit runs this with your real numbers.

What gets reviewed

Six capture points. Each one checked against what a real customer experiences.

Missed calls

What happens when you cannot pick up — and how many callers just dial the next name on the list.

Quote follow-up

Whether your estimates get a day 1, 3, 7, and 14 touch — or die in silence like most do.

Google reviews

Your review count and velocity against the competitors a homeowner actually compares you to.

Google Business Profile

Completeness, categories, service areas, and whether your profile is working or just existing.

Website capture

One test: can a customer request service in under 60 seconds on a phone? If not, the site is a brochure.

Past-customer reactivation

The customer list you already own, and whether it is producing repeat work or sitting untouched.

What you receive

A one-page findings summary. Plain language. Readable in the truck between jobs.
A leak map. Where inquiries are slipping through, ranked by what they are costing.
The one-job payback estimate. What a single recovered call or revived quote is worth against the cost of fixing the leak.
A recommended install scope. Only what the findings justify. Nothing gets recommended for its own sake.
A clear price range. In writing, before you decide anything.
A go/no-go recommendation. If the math does not work for your business, the report says no — and you keep the findings either way.

One price, stated in the open

$350

Credited in full toward any install. If you never spend another dollar with Elevata, you still walk away knowing exactly where your money is leaking and what it would cost to stop it.

Anyone looking for fake reviews or inflated numbers.

Straight answers

Why isn't the audit free?

Because a free audit is a sales pitch wearing a clipboard. Paying $350 means you get findings written for you, not for a close — including a no-go recommendation when the math doesn't work. And the full $350 is credited toward any install, so if the findings justify a fix, the audit ends up costing nothing.

What if I don't buy anything after?

Then you spent $350 and own a one-page map of where your business is leaking money, what each leak is roughly worth, and what fixing it would cost — from us or from anyone else. The findings are yours either way.

Is this a marketing agency thing?

No. Elevata doesn't sell ads, content, or rankings. We install the capture system behind a business — missed-call text-back, quote follow-up, review requests, booking, payments — and report what it recovered in plain dollars every month. The audit is the inspection before the install.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can read a one-page report and take a phone call, you can use everything the audit produces. Nothing gets recommended that you wouldn't understand the purpose of.

What does an install cost if I move forward?

Pricing is public: Foundation work runs $500–$1,500, a full install runs $2,500–$4,500, and the monthly operator layer runs $197–$997 depending on tier. The audit report includes the exact range your findings justify. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Who runs the audit?

Alexander Stoeber, Elevata's founder — a Santa Barbara local who reviews your capture points the way a customer experiences them, then puts the findings and the math on one page with his name on it.
