How does Five Blocks price its services?

Engagements are structured as monthly retainers with fixed scope, billed in advance. Pricing reflects the program’s complexity rather than hours: an engagement requiring a Wikipedia article build under disclosed COI, executive Knowledge Panel work, multi-market IMPACT™ coverage, AIQ™ across the eight engines with peer comparison, and crisis-readiness on-call has different economics than a single-market monitoring engagement. Integrated programs combining multiple service lines are priced as one coordinated workstream rather than as the sum of components, because the methodology is unified and the work compounds across layers. Specific pricing is detailed in each proposal, calibrated to the diagnostic findings and the agreed scope. Standard engagement terms are 6 or 12 months because durable reputation work runs on Google’s timeline rather than a 30-day cycle.
