How customers find you in search and AI answers, and what your systems need, audited and planned in order. A fixed fee, set on a short call. You own the plan.

What does business consulting for a small business include?
Business consulting at Your Wish Is Our Code is the growth plan: a written audit of how a small business is found in search and in AI answers, and of the systems it runs on, AI included, with the work set out in order. It has one fixed fee, paid up front and credited against the build it recommends if that build is signed within 60 days.
A growth plan: A growth plan is a fixed-scope audit, delivered on paper, of how a business gets found online and of the tools behind its daily work, ending in the work worth doing and the order to do it in. Nothing is built while it is written. The audit starts from what already exists, the site and the software the team uses every day, and the plan says what to fix first and what to leave alone, so the owner can act on it with any team.

What you get
The growth plan is a set piece of work with one fixed fee. It looks at how customers find you and at what your business runs on, and it ends in a plan you can act on. In the trade's words it takes in SEO for classic search, and GEO and AEO for the answers AI engines write. Every growth plan covers the list below.
- A short call about your customers and what you want to change
- An audit of how you show up in Google Search and in AI answers
- A look at your site and the software your team runs on, AI included
- The work worth doing, in order, and what each piece would take
- The growth plan in writing, yours whoever builds what it recommends
- A call to walk through the plan and answer your questions
How it goes
It starts with a short call about your customers and what you want to change. We agree on the scope and the fee in writing, and the audit starts once the fee is paid.
Then we read your site and how it shows up in Google Search, and we ask the AI answer engines the questions your customers ask. We look at the tools your team works in as well. The plan comes back in writing with the work in order, and we walk you through it on a call.
Where it fits
The growth plan has one fixed fee, paid up front, and the fee comes off the build it recommends if you sign that build with us within 60 days of the plan. Where the plan points to monthly GEO work, that work is priced by where your site starts from.

When you need a build, not a plan
In short
If you already know what to build, skip the growth plan and ask for the build itself.
A growth plan is worth its fee when the question is where to start. When the job is already clear, such as a new site or a set of automations, a short call and the written plan that follows it price the build directly, with no audit first.
A worked example (hypothetical)
Picture a family-run moving company with a site built years ago and a booking spreadsheet its two dispatchers share by hand.
The growth plan would start from the questions its customers ask, such as who moves a piano across town, and check how Google Search and the AI answer engines answer them. It would then follow a booking from the first inquiry to the spreadsheet.
The plan might put a quote form that sends each request to the dispatchers first, and a booking tool in place of the spreadsheet next, with what each would take. The owner could build either one with us or with anyone else.
Common questions
What does the growth plan cost?
One fixed fee, which you hear on a short call and see in writing before you pay. The fee is paid up front, and it comes off the build the plan recommends if you sign that build within 60 days of delivery.
Is the growth plan the written plan?
No. The written plan prices a build after a short call, once the work is clear. The growth plan comes before any build, when the question is what to do first, and it has a fixed fee of its own.
Is the growth plan the same as the AI plan?
No. The AI plan maps where AI fits across a business and nothing else. The growth plan also looks at how customers find you in search and in AI answers, and at the software behind your work, so AI is one part of it.
Do I have to build with you afterwards?
No. The plan is yours, and any team can work from it. The credit only matters if you choose to build with us, and it lapses 60 days after delivery.
Can a growth plan promise more customers?
No. Search engines and answer engines decide what they show, and their answers shift from week to week. The plan sets out what is worth doing on your side and why, and it never promises a ranking or a number of new customers.
What do you need from me for the audit?
Time for the first call, and viewer access to the accounts behind your site. The questions your customers ask most help too. Nothing in your accounts changes while the plan is being written.
