Marketing clarity — without the confusion, overhead, or guesswork.
Most businesses don’t struggle because they’re bad at what they do. They struggle because marketing feels confusing, expensive, and hard to keep up with.
Why BTO exists
Let’s be real: most business owners don’t need more marketing theory. They need clarity and a system they can actually stick to. Agencies are costly. Hiring is a gamble. DIY usually turns into overwhelm.
What is BTO?
BTO (Beat The Odds) is a marketing intelligence app built for business owners — not agencies, not enterprise teams, and not people who speak in buzzwords.
Your business might be great — but your online story might not be. BTO (Beat the Odds) does a deep brand + visibility review (website, messaging, trust, and how you show up in search — including AI search), then turns it into a clear score, a prioritized fix list, and weekly next steps.
Why businesses need it (right now)
Marketing isn’t static anymore. Search shifts, platforms shift, and customer trust shifts. Most owners don’t have time to study trends or budget to test everything.
Affordable (on purpose)
You shouldn’t need a big retainer or a full-time hire just to get clarity. BTO is built to scale knowledge — not billable hours — so owners can get direction without paying for overhead.
Keeps up when humans can’t
No one person can monitor every platform change, trend shift, and best practice — and still run a business. BTO helps you stay relevant without living on social media or marketing blogs.
BTO vs Hiring vs Agencies
Three common paths. Very different costs, tradeoffs, and long-term outcomes.
| What you’re really paying for | Hiring in-house One person wearing 10 hats | Agency Retainers + meetings + upsells | BTO Clarity + tools + weekly guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | $5,000–$8,500+/mo (salary + costs) | $2,500–$10,000+/mo | A fraction of one agency invoice |
| Contract lock-in | N/A (but hiring is a long commitment) | Often 6–12 months | None |
| Control | Depends on the hire | Low (you’re relying on their process) | High (you stay in control) |
| Clarity on what to do next | Depends on the person | Varies (and can be hidden behind meetings) | Built-in |
| Consistency | Hard when one person is overloaded | Depends on bandwidth + priorities | Designed for weekly follow-through |
| Ownership of knowledge | Leaves when they leave | Leaves when the contract ends | Stays in your dashboard |
| Best for | Large teams with deep budgets | Businesses outsourcing everything | Owners who want clarity + control |
The bottom line
BTO doesn’t promise magic. It gives you visibility, clarity, and a simple system to keep moving your business forward — without paying agency overhead or trying to become a marketing expert overnight.
Real Results. Real People.
