Complimentary 30-minute A9^Factor consult
Build your Human-First AI Marketing Strategy
In 30 minutes with Mike Montague, you’ll leave with your AI marketing roadmap and your AI Trust Score.
What 30 minutes gets you
Your AI marketing road map. The nine factors of the A9^Factor, scored for your business, with the two or three that matter most right now.
Your AI Trust Score. What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity say about you today, and the first move that improves it.
A straight answer on fit. If a 90-day QuickStart makes sense, I’ll say so once, with a number. If it doesn’t, you’ll leave with a referral.

How the call goes
One honest conversation. Three steps.
Before
Take the two-minute State of AI Marketing survey if you haven’t. It tells me which burn to look at first. No survey? Come as you are.
During
We walk your business through the nine factors of the A9^Factor. You talk; I ask the questions to find and close the gaps.
After
You get your road map, AI Trust Score, and the first move in writing. If a QuickStart sprint fits, you’ll get a quote. If not, you’ll get a referral.
Questions people ask before they book
Is this really free?
Yes. Thirty minutes, no invoice, no strings. I offer it because the best clients come from honest first conversations, and because a good road map is worth your time either way.
Will I get pitched?
You’ll get a diagnosis and a recommendation. If a 90-day QuickStart fits, I’ll say so once, with the price. If it doesn’t fit, I won’t invent one.
Do I need to take the survey first?
No, it just makes the call sharper. The survey takes two minutes and tells us whether you’re burning cash, burning bridges, or burning out your team.
Who is on the call?
Mike Montague, founder of Avenue9 and creator of Human-First AI Marketing®. No junior rep and no hand-off.
What should I bring?
Your current marketing plan, if one exists, and your honest frustration with it. Numbers help; perfection is optional.
