Noon in Long Beach is half past one in the morning in India during winter, the gap agency owners end up translating across.
Website packs run $250 per site at 20, or $50 per site only at 100 at a time, quoted before any work starts.
Citations are $3 each with a sheet of live links, and Rank Any Site covers 25 websites for $199 a month.
Partners keep half the net profit every month a client they bring keeps paying, with a statement by the 15th.

From Clickflame. This is Smoke and Receipts. The hype goes up in smoke. We bring the receipts.
Alright, Marcus. Today's hype lands in every agency owner's inbox, about four times before lunch.
I hope this message finds you well, Justin.
Today's hype. You want a full service back end you can afford? Send it overseas. Nobody in America can do it at a fair price.
Half the price, and only twelve hours away, man.
Our guest is Brodie Childers. Licensed electrician, agency owner, and on the Clickflame team. Brodie, welcome to the show.
Hey, I'm Brodie Childers. I'm a licensed electrician, I own JCAB Electric, and I run Electrician Center, our agency for electricians. Clickflame built that site, and I'm on the Clickflame team. So I see this from both sides.
So who is this for? Give it to me plain.
It's for an agency owner who's good at selling, and tired of being the whole back office. You've got clients. You don't want to hire a web team, a search team, an ads guy and a video guy just to keep them happy.
So what's in the back end? Run the list.
SEO and local search. Websites. Citations and listings. Google Ads. Content and email. Video. AI search work, like schema and llms.txt files. Even shop software. Use one piece, or hand us the whole thing.
All of that under one roof, man.
Now let's get to it. Why not just send it overseas? Brodie, you got a problem with India?
No, not at all. There's a lot of talented people over there. My problem is with the clock, not the people.
The clock. Explain the clock.
Noon in Long Beach is one thirty in the morning in India. So your client calls you mad at lunch, and nobody on your back end is awake. You say sorry, you wait until tomorrow, and now you're the translator.
So you saved money, and picked up a second job with no pay.
Show me the receipt on that, Marcus.
India runs twelve and a half to thirteen and a half hours ahead of California. It's nine and a half to ten and a half ahead of New York.
So where's Clickflame?
Long Beach, California. 235 East Broadway, suite 800. Monday to Friday, eight to five Pacific. You call 562-568-8305. You talk to somebody here, while your client's still mad.
Okay, but America costs money. That's the whole pitch, man. What's the number?
Websites come in packs. Twenty sites, at $250 each. A hundred at a time, $50 each. You set your own price with your client, and we quote the pack before any work starts.
Hold on. Fifty bucks a site, from Long Beach?
Only at a hundred at a time. Buy twenty, and it's $250 a site. I'm not going to play games with that.
What about the rest of it?
Citations are $3 each, built worldwide. And you get a sheet of live links you can hand your client.
So your client can click every one. I like that, man.
Rank Any Site runs 25 websites on one agency account, for $199 a month. The first month is five bucks. And search work starts at $800 a month, month to month.
Is it the cheapest out there?
No. Somebody will always beat us on a price list, and I won't tell you different. It's a fair price for real work, from people you can get on the phone.
Every shop says it knows agencies, though. Why you guys?
Our team's been building sites since 2004. They've built, scaled and sold three agencies. BrandRep, AdCom8, 1421 Digital, NapSync. They owned or managed all four, and it's on the page. So when you say a client's about to walk, nobody here needs that explained.
So who should not call you?
If all you want is the lowest number on a spreadsheet, we're not your guys. And if you don't want to do the work at all, we've got something for that too.
Meaning what?
The partner program. You bring us a business, we do the work, and you keep half the net profit every month that client pays. There's no cap. You get a statement by the 15th, with every number on it.
Last one, Brodie. You've got your own agency. Why does this work for you?
Because I know panels, not page speed. I know how an electrician talks and what he's worried about. That's my end. I ask for a change on my site, it gets made, and I go back to my guys.
Where do people go?
Clickflame.com/agencies. Tell us what you sell, and we'll quote it. A real person reads it, and usually replies the same day.
Clickflame dot com, slash agencies. Alright, Marcus. An affordable back end has to be overseas. Smoke, or receipts?
Smoke.
Smoke. Overseas can work fine. But you don't have to give up your daytime to afford a back end. There's a team in Long Beach, with the prices right on the page. Brodie, thank you for coming on.
Talk is cheap, man.
We are action.

The hype says data is only for the big guys. Anthony Limpert built Data for Trades so independent owners, and the agencies and writers who serve them, get clean public numbers with a free 5% sample of every file.
The hype says Spanish speakers can wait till later. More than 630 million people speak Spanish, and our Spanish first directory hit page one in twelve days. Plus the top 20 party stores in the world.
The hype says an old website is worthless and you should start over. Molly's Sugar Shack was the first site Clickflame ever built. We rebuilt it instead, and it went to #1 in Pacific Beach and page one in San Diego.
