FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from SaaS founders and marketing leaders.

Do you work with existing programs or only build new ones?

Both. We build programs from scratch, rescue live programs that have plateaued, and step in as a fractional affiliate lead on a flexible 30-day agreement.

How does your pricing work?

The baseline is $2,000 per month for continuous strategy, platform management, and publisher outreach, plus 5% of net-new recurring subscription revenue generated through the channel.

How do you prevent affiliates from bidding on our brand keywords?

We prohibit paid search on brand variations, monitor for unauthorized ads, and enforce warnings or commission forfeitures when partners violate the rules.

What commission structure works best for SaaS (recurring vs. bounty)?

It depends on ACV and cash flow. We model recurring and upfront structures to motivate strong partners without undermining unit economics.

How quickly can we expect to see active publisher recruitments?

Sourcing begins in month one. Initial publisher approvals and placements typically start going live within 30 to 45 days.

Do we need to switch our tracking platform?

No. We are platform-agnostic and work inside your existing affiliate platform. If you don't have one yet, we help select and configure the right tool for you.
