Most of what goes wrong here is decided in the first call, in what you did not ask. This is the list I would use if I were buying.

01 · who should i hire for ai work
Who to hire for AI work.
One senior marketer who uses AI as the engine. Not an AI specialist with no marketing behind them, and not an agency that added AI to its list last year.
Your problem is almost never the model. It is that inquiries are not answered fast enough, the follow up list is not worked, and the site cannot be found for the terms that matter. That is marketing execution with an engine underneath, a different hire from someone who builds models.
02 · ai hiring options compared
Your four AI hiring options.
Four, and you are already on one of them.
If you can already trace a new client back to something your current vendor did this month, you do not need to change anything.
| option | What it costs | What goes wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Keep what you have | What you already pay, indefinitely | Nothing changes, including your ability to check. Most owners are still on this a year after deciding to leave |
| Hire in house | A salary plus tools and the time to manage the role | It works if you can hire senior. A junior with no oversight reproduces the same problem with a different org chart |
| A larger agency | More than you pay now | A process built for a client many times your size, and a junior on your account. The reporting gets better looking, not more checkable |
| mineOne senior person with an AI engine | $1,000 a month per service line | You are dependent on one person's judgment and calendar. Ask what happens when they are unavailable, and expect a real answer |

04 · what ai help costs in las vegas
What AI help costs in Las Vegas.
$1,000 a month per service line, three months, then month to month, no setup fee. Two lines are $1,799, three are $2,499. The number is printed because a price that appears only after a call is a price about you, not about the work.
You own the domain, the site, the hosting, the analytics, the ad accounts, the Google Business Profile and every asset made for you, and you leave with a full export on thirty days notice.
No rank guarantee, at any price. Nobody controls where Google puts you, and a promise nobody owns is not worth signing.
05 · signs of a bad fit
When to walk away from a vendor.
A guaranteed position. A term you cannot leave. Deliverables that are all documents. A price that needs a relationship first. No named human accountable for the output.
One more, and owners forgive it too easily. If the first month is a discovery phase with nothing shipped at the end of it, that pattern usually holds for the whole engagement.
