- are where a membership site actually makes money
- Renewals are where a membership site actually makes money The first payment barely covers what it cost to win the member — retention is the real product decision.
- cancel members who never chose to leave
- Failed payments cancel members who never chose to leave Expired cards and declined charges are a normal part of any subscription — payment-recovery email wins many of them back automatically.
- for your site, ads, SEO, AIO & lifecycle email
- 1 partner for your site, ads, SEO, AIO & lifecycle email No juggling five vendors who don't talk to each other.
Every membership and price point is different — results vary by topic, content cadence, and audience size.
Why Growth Stalls
Why great content still loses members every month.
Publishing great content doesn't keep a membership site alive on its own.
-
Traffic comes, but nobody joins
A sales page built on the platform's default template rarely shows what's actually inside.
-
Members join, then quietly cancel
A card expires or a payment fails, and a paying member disappears without ever choosing to leave.
-
The library goes stale, so renewals stop
A site that only publishes at launch feels abandoned by month three.
-
Future members search and never find you
People search “membership for [topic]” and ask AI assistants what community or library to join before they ever hear your name.
Your growth engine
More members & renewals, from five channels feeding one subscriber base.

Payment Recovery
Proof, not promises
Track every signup, renewal, and dollar.
One dashboard shows how every channel turns into members, renewals, and revenue — so you always know your real cost per member and what to scale next.
Signups & Members Turn visitors into paying members
Every visit and signup is captured, tagged with its source, and tracked through to a paying member. Nothing sits unattributed, and no ad dollar slips through untracked.
Every signup traced to its source
See which campaign, keyword, or channel produced each new member — so budget moves to what actually fills your roster.
Synced to your membership platform
New members land in MemberPress, Kajabi, or your platform of choice automatically, so your funnel stays clean from click to signup.
Cost Per Member & LTV See your real cost per member
Every paying member is connected back to the campaign that produced them. You see true cost per signup and lifetime value by channel — and invest where the math actually works.
True cost per member
Ad spend, signups, and renewals tied together — so you always know what a paying member costs, and which way that number is moving.
Channel-level LTV
Google, Meta, YouTube, and organic tracked separately, so you can see which channel brings members who actually stay and renew.
Renewals & Churn Protect the revenue you've already won
Most membership revenue is won or lost after the first payment.
Failed-payment recovery
Declined charges trigger an automatic recovery sequence, so members who never chose to leave get an easy path back to active.
Renewal rate by cohort
See how renewal rate changes by signup month and campaign, so you know which acquisition source actually brings members who stay.

Straight answers
Marketing for membership sites, without the mystery
Our pricing is public and plain. Google, Meta & YouTube ad management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600/month minimum — and your budget goes to the platforms in full, with no markup from us. SEO is $50 per page, starting at 10 pages a month. Custom sales pages and member portals are eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ (details at /websites). $0 setup, month to month, no contract, and a 30-day guarantee means if you're not happy, you don't pay. Tell us about your membership and we'll send exact pricing in a free proposal within one business day.
If your cost per new member keeps climbing, subscribers cancel quietly after a payment fails, or growth still depends only on your own launches, an agency closes that gap. We build the sales page and member portal, run paid and organic acquisition, and write the renewal and payment-recovery email so you can stay focused on the content itself. If your roster is already growing and renewing on its own, you may not need us yet.
It owns every channel that brings in new members and keeps the ones you have. SearchPod builds your sales page and member portal, runs Google, Meta, and YouTube campaigns aimed at people searching for a membership like yours, wins the searches and AI-chat recommendations future members already use to find one, and writes the onboarding, renewal, and payment-recovery email that stops quiet cancellations — one team, one subscriber base.
Look for proof they understand subscription businesses: do they optimize for paying members and renewals or just clicks, can they trace a signup back to its cost per member, and do they treat payment-recovery email as seriously as acquisition ads? Then check ownership — your site, ad accounts, and member data should stay in your name. Ask any candidate how they'd lift your renewal rate; a vague answer tells you everything.
Paid campaigns usually produce the first new members within a few weeks. Rankings for “membership for [topic]” and comparison searches take 3–6 months to build, then keep compounding. Renewal and payment-recovery email starts protecting revenue from the first send — so your subscriber count grows while organic catches up.
We run the whole funnel — sales page, paid acquisition, SEO, AI search, and lifecycle email — so nothing falls between vendors, and we're judged on paying members and renewals, not traffic. Pricing is public, contracts are month-to-month, and your site, ad accounts, and member list stay yours from day one.
Our pricing is public — the pricing page shows the real starting price for every service — and your plan is scoped to your content, price point, and audience size. Tell us about your membership and we'll send exact pricing in a free proposal within one business day, no obligation.
On paying members and renewals, never vanity traffic. We optimize the sales page for signups, then connect every new member back to the campaign that produced them, so you can see your true cost per member, your renewal rate, and which channel actually grows your subscriber base.
Yes — for a subscription business, keeping members is often more valuable than winning new ones. We build onboarding email that gets new members into the content fast, a visible content-drip cadence that keeps the library feeling worth the charge, and payment-recovery email that wins back members who cancel only because a card expired or a charge failed.
Yes. Everything lives in accounts your business owns — site, member portal, ad accounts, and your subscriber list. We're month-to-month, and if you ever leave, it all simply stays where it is.
Yes. We build your marketing site and sales page to work alongside the membership platform you already use — MemberPress, Kajabi, Patreon, Substack, Podia, Memberful, or similar — so your content and billing stay put and your funnel just gets faster and better at converting.
Most sales pages and member portals go live in about 2–4 weeks. The pace mostly depends on how fast we get your content details, sample lessons, and feedback — you'll have a clear timeline before we start.
