Protocol FAQs
Everything people ask before they start. Missing something? Text us and a person answers.
Getting started
Start the trial, tell us about your business, and we get to work: your website build begins the same week and posting starts as soon as you send us something. You are not charged until day 8, you can cancel any time during the trial, and Scale is also covered by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee after that. Read the guarantee.
You text Protocol with photos, updates, or requests. We turn that into website updates, social posts, Google Business Profile activity, and review follow up. There is no app to learn and no dashboard to manage.
Protocol is built for people-powered services, including field services, cleaning, beauty, wellness, professional firms, fitness, coaching, lessons, automotive, creative work, and more. If clients hire your expertise, time, care, or craft, the system can usually be shaped around your business.

Yes. Every plan includes a custom, conversion-ready website build with lead capture, quoting or booking, service pages, and performance analytics. Start includes 2 hours of website changes per month, Grow includes 5 hours per month, and Scale includes unlimited website changes.

The managed website is not automatically transferred when your subscription ends. You can request a copy for a one-time $999 transfer fee, which includes your content: text, images, pages, and business information. Proprietary code, components, and licensed libraries are stripped out before delivery. Your domain, original photos, brand files, and customer data always remain yours.
Yes. Reach out to us and we will walk you through it and set you up.
What we publish
Every plan can publish to your website, Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, and Bluesky: ten platforms in all. Posting frequency, reputation management, and content strategy vary by plan.
One original post is one piece of content. When we publish it to your website, Google Business Profile, and eight social channels, it creates up to 10 platform placements. Start includes 1 original post per week, Grow includes 3, and Scale includes unlimited social media posting. Posting details.
Just text us. Photos, a voice note, client questions, finished work, or a business update is plenty. We handle the writing, formatting, publishing, and reporting so your team does not have to become a marketing department.
