$750 a month: the real marketing proposal we sent a preschool

In short

A bilingual English and Spanish preschool and childcare center in the Miami, Florida area, open since 2008, was quoted a flat $750 a month, USD, covering a new website, SEO built toward hundreds of pages, Google Ads management, and email marketing, aimed at turning tour requests into enrollments. It was sent the same week the inquiry came in.

Key facts

  • The client runs a bilingual English and Spanish preschool and childcare center in the Miami, Florida area, founded in 2008, serving children roughly one to eight years old.
  • The client's own one-word inquiry message was simply the goal itself: more enrollments, which set the entire angle of the proposal around turning tour bookings into enrolled families.
  • The sent offer was a flat USD $750 a month covering a custom website, SEO built out toward several hundred pages over time, Google Ads management with the client setting her own separate ad budget, and email marketing.
  • The client's own site named no owner or director and published no prices or licensing information anywhere, which shaped what the sample website could honestly claim.
  • The proposal named Google Search plus several AI answer platforms directly as the ranking target, rather than describing search visibility in generic terms.

The business behind this proposal

The client operates a bilingual, English and Spanish, early childhood learning center in the Miami, Florida area, founded in 2008 and serving children from roughly one to eight years old. Programs include early childhood development, standard preschool, a state-funded voluntary pre-kindergarten program for eligible families, and general child care, with healthy meals provided and hours running early morning to early evening on weekdays.

A preschool's growth almost always comes down to one number: how many tours convert into an enrolled family, since capacity is physically limited by classroom space and licensing, unlike a service business that can, in theory, serve an unlimited number of customers.

What the client actually asked

The inquiry that led to this proposal was short: a one-word message reading simply the client's goal, more enrollments, with a request for Google Ads help checked on the intake form. That single word set the framing for the entire pitch, which was built explicitly around tour bookings becoming enrolled families rather than around traffic or clicks as an end in themselves.

The client's own existing website named no owner or director anywhere, listed no prices, and did not display any licensing or accreditation information, which meant the sample built for the pitch also avoided naming an owner or inventing a credential the client had not already published.

What was in the proposal

The offer bundled four things into one flat monthly fee: a custom website, search engine optimization built out over time toward several hundred pages of content, Google Ads management, and email marketing. The pitch specifically named Google Search alongside several major AI answer platforms as the target for ranking, rather than describing search visibility in vague terms, since a family increasingly starts this kind of search inside a chat assistant as often as inside a traditional search engine.

The ad-spend line followed the agency's standard separation: the client sets and controls her own advertising budget, kept apart from the flat $750 management fee, rather than that budget being bundled into the number quoted.

The sample site that was built

A single-page sample home was built around four program cards mapped directly onto the center's real age groups and offerings, a section on why families stay built from the center's own real facts, its founding year, its bilingual model, its meals, and its hours, a photo section, and a visit section carrying the center's real address, phone number, email, and hours alongside a demo tour-request form.

Every photograph used in the final version was a licensed stock image chosen to represent the center's own age range and setting realistically, swapped in for an earlier placeholder set once a technical access issue on the agency's side was resolved partway through the build.

What was left out

No owner or director name was added anywhere on the sample, since the center's own site did not name one either. No licensing number, accreditation claim, or price was invented, for the same reason: none of those appeared on the center's own existing website, so none were fabricated to fill the gap.

The sample kept its claims to what the center's own site already stated: its founding year, its bilingual model, its meal program, and its hours, rather than adding any unverified detail about class sizes, staff-to-child ratios, or outcomes that were not already published.

Where it stands now

The proposal was sent within days of the client's inquiry, with a same-day polish pass on the cover wording and one photo swap made before the final send. It was sent again roughly a week later after the tracked link showed no recorded visit from the client's own inbox, an ordinary follow-up rather than a change to the offer itself.

Neither the original send nor its follow-up shows a recorded response in the file this page draws from.

Related questions

This page anonymizes a real SearchPod proposal so the center cannot be identified. The single figure quoted matches exactly what the client was shown on the date given, not a rate this page currently offers, and because the source file never records a decision either way, this write-up stops at confirming the send.
