Frameworks

Operating systems that compound.

The frameworks, methodologies and proprietary tools I've built and refined across four operating agencies and fifteen years of running marketing campaigns. Each one is documented in detail — partly so my own teams can reference them, partly so other operators can learn from what's worked.

Why this page exists

The methodology isn't the moat. The execution is.

Most agencies treat their methodology as a trade secret — a way to keep clients dependent and prospects in the dark. I think that's backwards. Documenting the methodology publicly does three useful things at once:

  1. It forces me to write down what we actually do, which is its own discipline — a framework that can't be written down clearly is a framework that doesn't really exist.
  2. It lets prospective clients see exactly what they'd be buying before they buy it. The clients who turn up after reading the framework are the right clients.
  3. It contributes something to the public conversation. The other agencies and operators who read this and apply pieces of it are not, in any meaningful sense, my competitors.

So this page is the working library of what I've built — organised from the operating layer that spans every agency, down to the tools used inside specific verticals.

Layer 01 · Operating model · Spans every agency

The Performance-Guarantee Operating Model.

The single operating principle that runs through all four agencies: agree the outcomes in writing before work starts, and back the work with a commercial guarantee. Different markets get different guarantee structures. The discipline is the same.

Pracxcel

The Patient Booking Promise

Patient growth defined in writing for each engagement, with measurable thresholds and a money-back trigger if we don't hit them. Underwritten by the P.A.T.I.E.N.T. Framework, Slotify, Repuboost and Intellilens working together.

Conquerra Digital

Money-back KPI guarantee

KPIs agreed in writing before work begins. If we don't hit them, we refund the management fee. No long contracts. The guarantee forces every campaign to be set up properly from the start.

Trade Pulse Marketing

Pay-for-leads model

Contractors only pay for verified leads. No retainer. No charge if we don't deliver. The model removes the fixed-cost risk that's stopped most contractors from investing in marketing.

Skyward Digital

$2K free audit + transparent reporting

A $2,000-equivalent audit on every initial conversation, with full transparency on multi-channel reporting throughout the engagement. The commitment is to visibility, not just outcomes.

The pattern is intentional. Agencies that won't underwrite outcomes either don't believe in their own work, or are running a model that doesn't produce reliable enough outcomes to underwrite. We refuse to be either.

Layer 02 · Vertical frameworks

Specialist methodologies by industry.

Each agency has its own playbook for the market it serves. The vertical-specific frameworks below are what make the universal operating model underwriteable.

For Pracxcel · Healthcare

The P.A.T.I.E.N.T. Framework.

A seven-step operating system for healthcare marketing. Built into Pracxcel's engagement model.

P

Plan

Practice diagnostic, market analysis, AHPRA-compliance posture, baseline measurement.

A

Attract

SEO, Google Ads (Search and LSAs where applicable), Meta Ads, Google Business Profile and local visibility.

T

Trust

Review profile (via Repuboost), credentialing, compliant social proof, website trust architecture.

I

Integrate

Booking flow (via Slotify), online intake, appointment reminders, no-show prevention, CRM data.

E

Engage

Retargeting, email nurture, content for the prospective patient's research phase.

N

Nurture

Recall campaigns, post-treatment follow-ups, value-led education for the existing patient base.

T

Track

Cost per booked appointment, cost per attended appointment, lifetime patient value, postcode penetration, review velocity. Surfaced in real time through Intellilens.

For Trade Pulse · Home services

The Lead Velocity Model.

The operating model that makes pay-for-leads underwriteable for home-services contractors.

01 · Match

Service area + capacity = lead volume

The number of leads we can deliver is bounded by the contractor's actual service area and operational capacity. We model both before signing.

02 · Channel

Local SEO + Google Ads + Repuboost

Three channels that compound for local high-intent service queries: organic local visibility, paid local search, and reputation that lifts both.

03 · Verify

Call & form tracking with attribution

Every lead is tracked, attributed and verified before it's billed. The contractor sees exactly which marketing dollar produced which job.

04 · Convert

Free conversion-focused websites

Built into the engagement: a contractor website purpose-built for the call-to-action, the local-search ranking and the trust signals that drive booked jobs.

For Conquerra · US & UAE scale-ups

The KPI-First Architecture.

How Conquerra structures every engagement to make the money-back KPI guarantee real.

Most digital marketing agencies treat KPIs as something to report on. Conquerra treats them as the constraint that shapes the entire engagement architecture. The sequence is fixed:

  1. Identify the one or two KPIs that genuinely matter to the business — usually pipeline-qualified leads, blended CAC, or revenue attributable to the channel mix.
  2. Set the threshold and the timeframe for each KPI, against documented baseline data, with the refund trigger written into the engagement.
  3. Reverse-engineer the channel mix, ad spend, content output and tracking infrastructure needed to hit the KPI — not the other way around.
  4. Cut everything that doesn't serve the KPI, however attractive it looks on a strategy deck.
  5. Report transparently and continuously — including when something isn't working — because the guarantee structure makes hiding bad news commercially worse than disclosing it.

The architecture is what allows the guarantee. Without it, the guarantee is just a sales line. With it, the guarantee is the operating constraint that makes everything else honest.

For Skyward · Multi-industry Australia

The Multi-Channel Attribution Stack.

Skyward serves twelve-plus industries with different sales cycles and conversion paths. The attribution stack is what makes that breadth honest.

Different industries, different lead-to-revenue lag, different channel mix. A real estate enquiry converts on a six-month cycle. An e-commerce purchase converts on the same session. A trades enquiry converts within hours of the first phone call. Reporting all three on the same generic dashboard hides more than it reveals.

Skyward's multi-channel reporting layer pulls in data across paid media, organic search, email, social, and analytics platforms — and surfaces it through industry-specific dashboards that match the way each business actually converts. One client view, not five tabs. Real-time, with the metrics the operator can act on rather than the metrics that look good on a deck.

Layer 03 · Proprietary tools

The tools we built because we couldn't buy them.

Most generic marketing software doesn't fit specialist workflows or regulatory constraints. So we built our own — used inside specific agencies and shared where they apply.

Tool 01 · For Pracxcel clients

Slotify.

Our patient-booking automation layer.

What Slotify does

  • ·Captures patient enquiries from every channel — website forms, ads, social, calls, walk-ins — into a single intake stream
  • ·Books appointments directly into the clinic's existing calendar system
  • ·Qualifies enquiries against the clinic's specialty, service offering and operational capacity
  • ·Operates inside AHPRA's restrictions on what an automated layer can and cannot say to a prospective patient
  • ·Sends compliant pre-appointment reminders and intake forms to reduce no-shows

What Slotify does NOT do

  • ·Provide clinical advice of any kind
  • ·Make any claim about treatment outcomes
  • ·Substitute for the practitioner-patient relationship
  • ·Operate outside the boundaries of AHPRA-compliant communication

The boundary discipline is the entire point. Slotify is an admin layer, not a clinical layer.

Tool 02 · For Pracxcel + Trade Pulse clients

Repuboost.

Compliant review automation, deployed across two industries.

Reviews are the highest-leverage local-ranking factor on Google. They're also the hardest to systematically generate without crossing into spam, fake reviews, or — for healthcare — non-compliant patient testimonials.

Repuboost is the system we built to do it properly. It requests reviews from real customers at the right moment in their journey:

  • For healthcare clients (Pracxcel): at the appropriate post-care moment, with copy that invites a review of the practice's service rather than a clinical outcome — the AHPRA-compliant framing.
  • For home-services clients (Trade Pulse): at the moment the job is completed and the customer is most likely to write a real, accurate review.

Repuboost has moved client review profiles from "below the local average" to "the leader in the postcode" within months — and the resulting lift in local search rankings compounds over the years that follow.

Tool 03 · Reporting layer · Multi-agency

Intellilens.

Real-time reporting that surfaces what actually matters.

Most agency dashboards are designed to make the agency look good. Intellilens is designed to surface the numbers an operator actually needs to see — every day, in real time, without buried tabs or vanity charts.

The view is configured per industry. A Pracxcel clinic sees cost per booked appointment, cost per attended appointment, postcode penetration and review velocity. A Trade Pulse contractor sees verified leads by service and source, cost per lead, and conversion to booked jobs. A Skyward client sees the channels and metrics that match their specific industry sales cycle. A Conquerra account sees the agreed KPIs against threshold, with the refund trigger visible at all times.

What's deliberately not on any dashboard: impressions, generic "engagement" numbers, follower counts, ranking-position averages. Numbers that don't drive a decision the operator can act on.
