Automated scan for free. Human-researched Business Pulse for $99/month.
We keep the difference plain and upfront: the Free Reality Check is an instant automated scan of one public link, while Business Pulse ($99/month) delivers a personalized, human-researched monthly report plus timely heads-ups — with any hands-on implementation quoted separately upfront before work begins.
Free Automated Reality Check
An instant automated scan of a single public website or social business page — built to show surface technical and contact signals in seconds, not to replace human research.
- Automated single-link check: Scans public HTTPS security, mobile viewport setup, search title & metadata, tap-to-call links, visible contact paths, and schema
- Honest boundaries: Marks anything automation cannot verify as UNKNOWN instead of inventing fake score penalties
- Not a custom human report: Does not manually cross-check third-party menus, delivery apps, local competitors, event calendars, or supplier pricing
- Optional human conversation: No email required to view your scan; request “Discuss My Results” if you want to talk with Todd & Noelah (complimentary personalized sample editions are prepared selectively by invitation only)
Business Pulse
Real human research and verification by Todd and Noelah across your business and surrounding local market — organized around Protect, Improve, Grow, and Save.
- 1 written Monthly Business Pulse report: Delivered as a clean, readable PDF / brief with clickable source links, focused Decision Cards, and clear notes on what only you can verify internally — no dashboard to learn
- How often you hear from us: Once a month for your full written report, plus a quick personal heads-up in between only if something time-sensitive comes up (like an event booth deadline or broken public hours) — never filler spam
- Real outside-in & market research: Cross-platform hours, menus, and listings; local competitors; regional events & partnerships; and supplier/vendor comparisons
- Included in $99/mo ($0 extra to act in-house): Covers ongoing watch, research, verification, and plain-English recommendations (including “No action recommended” when leaving things alone is smarter)
- Hands-on implementation costs extra: Websites, listing/menu fixes, video/ads, booth applications, supplier legwork, SOPs, and workflows are optional and quoted upfront as a flat, pre-approved project fee
A written monthly brief with Decision Cards
Each month you get a clean, owner-ready Business Pulse PDF / brief showing exact public sources checked, prioritized Decision Cards across Protect, Improve, Grow, and Save, what requires your internal confirmation, and where no change is warranted.
Monthly cadence + urgent heads-ups only
Expect your scheduled Business Pulse once per month. In between, we only message you if we spot something time-sensitive that shouldn't wait 30 days (like a vendor booth deadline or broken hours) — plus direct replies anytime you have a question.
$99/mo for intelligence · Flat quotes for execution
$99/month covers all ongoing monitoring, human research, and recommendations — implement any of them yourself for $0 extra. Hands-on execution is never bundled silently or billed hourly by surprise; we quote a flat project fee upfront for your sign-off first.
What a Monthly Business Pulse Looks Like
Fictional composite: “Riverbend Trail & Provisions” (illustrative specialty retail shop in the Southern Indiana / Louisville area). Shown purely to illustrate format, evidence, and restraint.
Sunday storefront hours conflict across public map listings
Recommendation: Update the two out-of-sync map listings so weekend shoppers see consistent hours before driving over.
How we verify: Human cross-check of live map listings against current seasonal door hours confirmed with the shop owner.
Gift-card and group-outfitting inquiries buried three taps deep on mobile
Recommendation: Add a direct “Gift Cards & Group Orders” link on the mobile home view leading to a short 3-field inquiry form.
How we verify: Tested end-to-end on mobile Safari and Chrome; confirmed existing ecommerce platform supports the link without new software.
Two Southern Indiana / Louisville outdoor community events open vendor applications next month
Recommendation: Apply for the Saturday riverfront trail kickoff booth (strongest audience match); skip the second Sunday street fair where general food/music booths dominate.
How we verify: Reviewed published organizer vendor packet, booth fee schedule, prior-year exhibitor list, and staffing overlap with Saturday store hours.
Packaging supplier comparison: keep current regional box & bag vendor
Recommendation: No action recommended. Stay with the current supplier and revisit only if order volume doubles before holiday season.
How we verify: Calculated landed cost including residential/liftgate freight, storage footprint, and reorder lead time.

Act in-house for $0 extra — or get an upfront flat quote before we build anything.
Your $99/month Business Pulse never locks you into project fees. Whenever a report surfaces something worth acting on, you can run with it yourself for $0 extra, or ask BaraTrust for a separate, flat-fee project quote (websites, online stores, listing/menu cleanups, short-form video & campaigns, event/booth applications, supplier quote legwork, SOPs, or workflow setup) — or specialist coordination — approved in writing before any work begins.
