Your 12-month projection
Net revenue lift after BrainBuddy fees
Strong. Most of our clients live in this band.
Now we are talking. This is what a normal year looks like for our clients.
Estimates. Your actual results depend on industry, market, and execution. See the methodology below for the maths.

The maths
Every number on this page, shown its working.
We will not hide the assumptions behind a pretty chart. Here is exactly how the model arrives at each figure.
/ 01
SEO Agent maths
Baseline monthly revenue equals traffic times conversion rate times average value. Each scenario applies an S-curve traffic ramp over 12 months (Cautious 1.35x, Realistic 1.8x, Ambitious 2.6x) plus a conversion lift (8%, 20%, or 30%). Most growth lands in months 6 to 12, the way SEO actually compounds.
/ 02
From revenue to credited return
We do not credit gross revenue. Each industry has a gross margin applied (Trades 35%, Hospitality 25%, Professional 55%, Health 45%) so the return is profit, not turnover. Then a 70% attribution factor is applied to acknowledge that some growth would have happened anyway. Conservative on purpose.
/ 03
AI Agent maths
Staff savings equal hours per week times weeks per month times hourly cost times the scenario deflection rate (22%, 35%, or 50%). Recovered revenue takes 50% of enquiries that arrive after hours, captures a share of them (20%, 35%, or 50%), converts at a 12% baseline times the scenario lift, multiplies by average value, then applies the same industry gross margin and 70% attribution.
/ 04
Anchors and honesty
Defaults reference our published client outcomes: 45% of leads captured after hours, 25 to 40% conversion lift within 90 days, plus per-industry benchmarks from real case studies. Results are estimates. The Cautious scenario is genuinely cautious. The Ambitious scenario reflects the top of our client cohort, not a marketing fiction. Your real number depends on market, competition, and execution.
