Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does CMG own in the engagement?
CMG owns strategic leadership, Shopify management and custom development, paid media management, Klaviyo email + SMS lifecycle, website CRO, and the AI customer intelligence layer. Execution is performed by CMG and/or coordinated with Metalwood Studio's internal team under CMG oversight.
When is the retainer billed?
The monthly retainer is paid in advance on the effective date of each month.
Are media spend and platform fees included?
No. Ad spend is paid directly by Metalwood Studio through its own ad accounts. Shopify, Klaviyo, and other SaaS subscriptions are also Metalwood Studio-paid. Suggested ad budget $10K–$25K/mo — we'll size it together in kickoff.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Yes. 3-month minimum. The first 60 days are the natural onboarding-and-build window (kick-off, CRM architecture, CRO sprint, paid media activation) and month 3 is where the compounding starts to show. After the minimum, the engagement continues month-to-month with 30 days' notice to wind down or adjust scope.
How does the intro rate work?
The first 3 months bill at $7,500/month, which is $2,500/month off the standard $10,000/month retainer and covers the full minimum term. From month 4, the retainer steps up to $10,000/month automatically and continues month-to-month.
Does CMG replace Metalwood Studio's internal team?
No. CMG provides strategic leadership, eCommerce operation, and operational guidance. Unless expressly agreed in writing, CMG is not an employee, officer, or manager of Metalwood Studio. Execution can be a combination of CMG, Metalwood Studio's internal team, and approved third-party vendors.
What platforms does CMG work with?
Shopify is the core commerce platform. Paid media runs on Meta and other channels. Lifecycle is Klaviyo (email + SMS). AI customer intelligence sits underneath as the identity, segmentation, and orchestration layer.
