No. RunLevel6 is one senior operator embedded in your business, supported by specialists when a job genuinely needs them. You are not paying for an account management layer.

What if it is not working?

Retainers move to month to month after the initial term with 30 days' notice, and every quarterly reset is a natural exit point. We would rather end an engagement cleanly than keep billing one that has stopped delivering.

/ENGAGEMENT

Three ways to work with RunLevel6

Q: Do you work outside the Waikato?

Yes. We are based in the Waikato and work with B2B companies across New Zealand and Australia. Most of the work is remote, with onsite sessions when they earn the travel.

Most people start with an audit, then move into an ongoing retainer once we both know where the real problem sits. However you start, you get senior hands on the work, and systems that keep running after we step back.

Waikato based, working with B2B teams across New Zealand and Australia

01 / ENTRY POINT

Growth Systems Audit

Two to three weeks to find what's actually holding growth back.

02 / PRIMARY OFFER

Embedded Growth Partner

Two to three days a week of senior help inside your team.

03 / FIXED PROJECT

Growth Foundation Build

One core part of the system, scoped and rebuilt properly.

/WHERE TO START

Start where the problem is

No discovery funnel, no six-week onboarding. Find the line below that sounds like you, and go straight to the one that fits.

See the five capabilities behind all three

Something in the funnel is clearly broken, but nobody can point at which part.

Growth Systems Audit

Leads come in, then leak somewhere between the form and the sales conversation.

Growth Systems Audit

You want to see how we work before committing to anything ongoing.

Growth Systems Audit

You have a plan you believe in and no senior person with the time to run it.

Embedded Growth Partner

Marketing is one person doing five jobs, and nothing builds month to month.

Embedded Growth Partner

The website, the CRM or the reporting is the bottleneck, and you already know it.

Growth Foundation Build

/THE THREE ENGAGEMENTS

What each engagement covers

Same senior person and the same standard of work in all three. What changes is the commitment, the scope, and how long we stay in it with you.

01 / ENTRY POINT

Growth Systems Audit

A proper look across your website, search visibility, paid channels, HubSpot, lead flow and reporting. We look at the whole thing rather than one channel, because the bottleneck is usually in the handoffs between them. You finish with a prioritised roadmap you could hand to any competent team, including your own.

COMMITMENT

Fixed scope, one-off

TYPICAL LENGTH

Two to three weeks

BEST FOR

Teams who need a diagnosis before they spend

YOU END UP WITH

A prioritised roadmap and a clear first 90 days

Book an audit Compare with the retainer

WHAT WE LOOK AT

Website structure, speed and conversion paths

Search visibility and technical SEO health

Paid campaigns, tracking and attribution

HubSpot data, pipelines and lead routing

HOW IT RUNS

A working session to set context and targets

Hands-on review of your accounts and analytics

Short interviews with the sales and marketing side

A walkthrough of the findings with you in the room

WHAT YOU GET

A written findings document, plainly worded

A roadmap ordered by effort and impact

Quick wins you can action the same week

An honest view on what is not worth doing

02 / PRIMARY OFFER

Embedded Growth Partner

A senior growth person inside your business, roughly two to three days a week. Strategy, execution, systems and accountability all from the same person, so nothing gets lost between an account manager and whoever actually does the work. You get the range of an agency with the context and continuity of a hire.

COMMITMENT

Monthly retainer, two to three days a week

TYPICAL LENGTH

Six months and up

BEST FOR

Companies with real targets and nobody senior owning them

YOU END UP WITH

A growth system your team can run without us

Discuss a retainer Start with an audit instead

WHAT WE OWN

The growth plan and the quarterly priorities

Campaign execution across search, paid and content

HubSpot, tracking and reporting hygiene

Automation and internal tooling where it saves real hours

HOW IT RUNS

A weekly working session with your team

Direct access in Slack or Teams in between

One live plan everyone in the business can see

A monthly review scored against the targets we set

WHAT YOU GET

Senior capability without a senior salary

Documented systems that stay when we leave

One accountable person, not a rotating pod

Reporting written for a board, in pipeline and revenue

03 / FIXED PROJECT

Growth Foundation Build

One core part of the system, scoped and rebuilt properly: a website rebuild, a HubSpot implementation, an SEO foundation, a custom app or an automation workflow. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, and no open-ended discovery phase to pay for first.

COMMITMENT

Fixed scope project

TYPICAL LENGTH

Four to twelve weeks, depending on scope

BEST FOR

Teams with capable people and one broken foundation

YOU END UP WITH

A working system, documented and handed over

Scope a project See what we build

WHAT WE BUILD

Website rebuilds and high-intent landing pages

HubSpot implementation and migration

Technical SEO and content foundations

Internal tools, AI workflows and client-facing apps

HOW IT RUNS

Scope and success measures agreed up front

Built in visible stages you can review as we go

Your team trained on the way through

Handover documentation included in the price

WHAT YOU GET

A finished system in production, not a prototype

Tracking and reporting wired in from day one

Full ownership of every account and asset

An honest recommendation on what comes next

/HOW A MONTH RUNS

How a month runs on a retainer

Same shape every month. It's deliberately unglamorous, because predictable beats impressive when you're trying to build something that lasts.

WEEK 1

Plan and prioritise

We agree the two or three things that matter this month and park the rest. It all lands in one plan your team can see, not a document nobody opens.

WEEKS 2 AND 3

Build and ship

Campaigns, pages, workflows and fixes go live. You see progress in the work itself rather than in a status report about the work.

WEEK 4

Measure honestly

Results against the targets we set, including the ones that went backwards. If something isn't working, you'll hear it from us first.

EVERY QUARTER

Reset the plan

We step back, re-read the market and reset priorities. It's also the natural point to change the shape of the engagement, or end it.

/WHAT WE PROMISE

What you can hold us to

Every engagement is run by Matt Palmer, the director, from the Waikato. These six apply whichever one you pick, and they go in the agreement, not just on this page.

More about who you actually get

One senior person

The person in your kickoff is the person doing the work. Where a job needs a specialist we bring one in, and we stay accountable for it.

You own everything

Every account, domain, workflow and document sits in your name from day one. Leaving is never a technical problem.

Reporting in plain numbers

Pipeline and revenue, not impressions. If a channel isn't paying its way, you'll hear it from us before you spot it yourself.

No lock-in beyond notice

Retainers run month to month after the initial term, with 30 days' notice. We keep the work good enough that you stay by choice.

Systems, not dependency

Everything gets documented so your team can run it. The whole point is to make us optional.

We'll tell you to stop

If the fit is wrong, or your money is better spent somewhere other than with us, you'll hear it before you sign anything.

/COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you get in touch

The questions that come up in almost every first conversation, answered here so you don't have to ask them.

What does it cost?

It depends on scope, so we quote after a short conversation rather than publish a number that would be wrong for most people. You get a written figure before any work starts, and we'll tell you if your budget is better spent elsewhere.

Do I have to start with an audit?

No. If you already know the problem and want it fixed, go straight to a foundation build or a retainer. The audit is for teams who aren't sure where the real issue sits.

Are you an agency?

No. RunLevel6 is one senior person working inside your business, with specialists brought in when a job genuinely needs them. You're not paying for a layer of account management.

Do you work outside the Waikato?

Yes. We're based in the Waikato and work with B2B companies across New Zealand and Australia. Most of it is remote, with onsite sessions when they're worth the travel.

What if it isn't working?

Retainers move to month to month after the initial term with 30 days' notice, and every quarterly reset is a natural exit point. We'd rather end an engagement cleanly than keep billing one that's stopped delivering.

Can you work alongside our agency?

Often, yes. Plenty of clients keep a specialist agency running one channel while we own the strategy, the systems and the reporting around it.
