GROWTH YOU CAN CHECK

We build lead generation systems that make revenue, not excuses.

Qualified leads you can count, at a cost per lead you can see, on terms you can leave. Built exclusively for professional services and trades businesses doing $1M+.

Derek and Courtney, DCB Digital principals

What changes when your growth becomes checkable.

A short briefing from the DCB principals on the standard, the system and the numbers that decide whether it is working.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You already suspect the numbers don’t add up. The only question is whether you’ll have an answer before someone else asks.

01

The retainer you can’t defend

You’re paying a monthly fee to an agency, and if a partner asked tomorrow exactly what it produced, you couldn’t answer in a sentence because you don’t actually know.

02

Outranked by someone worse

A competitor with a weaker offer and a worse team is sitting above you in Google for the term that actually brings in work. Nobody’s told you why.

03

Locked in, with no way out

Twelve months into a contract, the reporting still reads like weather: vague, unfalsifiable and always someone else’s fault. You signed away the only leverage you had: the ability to just leave.

04

The partner meeting you’re dreading

Growth targets get set in that room. When someone asks where the new enquiries are coming from, “the agency says it’s working” isn’t an answer anyone accepts twice.

None of this is because the firm isn’t good enough. It’s because nobody’s made the numbers checkable.

Most agencies bolt AI onto a slide deck.

We built our whole system for the AI future.

THE DCB METHOD

Diagnose. Construct. Bank.

Every engagement runs the same system: an AI-driven lead generation system, built in three stages and run as a loop.

01

Diagnose

Before we ask for a dollar, we show you exactly where you stand: search rankings, AI visibility, competitor gaps, and what the gap is costing you.

02

Construct

We build the system your numbers say you need. Your diagnosis determines the work, rather than the package we happen to sell. You watch it go up in real time.

03

Bank

Leads you can count, at a cost you can see. Every month the numbers decide whether we keep working together. You can leave if the results stop justifying the work, without a contract keeping you here.

The system runs as a loop. Bank feeds back into Diagnose with a quarterly re-baseline, keeping decisions tied to current evidence. What’s proven gets scaled; what isn’t gets cut.

THE GLASS HOUSE STANDARD

Six commitments, published so you can hold us to them.

The Method is how we work. This is what we promise. Each commitment is checkable and set out in writing.

01

You see everything.

Spend, work and results on a live dashboard you can check whenever you need. A monthly PDF only captures one moment in time.

02

30 days, always.

No lock-in contracts. The numbers renew us, or they don’t.

03

Plain English.

If a report needs a glossary, we’ve failed.

04

Numbers over adjectives.

Every claim we make carries a figure you can verify.

05

Seniors only.

You deal with the people accountable for the outcome.

06

Right-fit only.

If we can’t measurably grow you, we’ll say so at the Diagnose stage. That diagnosis is free.

CLIENT STORIES

Don’t take our word for it.

Two client conversations, recorded and published in full. No anonymous quotes, no edited scorecards.

INDUSTRIES

Built for your industry. Not everyone’s.

High customer-lifetime-value businesses where one new client pays for the system many times over.

Legal and professional services

Legal & Professional Services

High lifetime value, referral-driven, reputation always on the line. Marketing that respects all three.

Finance, insurance and property

Finance, Insurance & Property

The most numerate buyers we serve, so every claim we make arrives with a cost per lead attached.

Trades and construction

Trades & Construction

For established operations scaling crews, calendars and multi-site work. Sole operators chasing one-off jobs need a different approach and cost structure.

Right-fit only: DCB works with businesses at 5–50 staff and $1M+ revenue. If that’s not you yet, the Baseline will tell you for free.

ABOUT DCB

Run by its two principals. On purpose.

DCB is Derek and Courtney, who run an agency where the people who own the outcome are the people you deal with. No rotating account managers, no layers between you and an answer.
