Can I try APEX without committing to a monthly plan?

Yes. Start with the $97 audit. You'll get a 169-point GBP heatmap, AI visibility scan, and the top 3 fixes — delivered in 48 hours, no sales call. If you don't see the gaps clearly, you won't owe us another dollar.

What if I already use Lead Oracle and want to switch?

Easy. We'll migrate you. Most clients keep Lead Oracle running for 30 days during transition, then cancel. No double-billing required.

Why is APEX so much more than $99?

Because a person is doing the work. SaaS automates posting. APEX builds neighborhood authority — content tied to your specific zip codes and landmarks, citations across 42+ directories, weekly geo-grid scans, and 90-day rank guarantees. That requires humans plus AI, not just AI.

Do you only work with businesses in Vancouver/Portland?

No. AMP8 Media is headquartered in Vancouver, WA, but we serve home services and med spa businesses nationwide. The hyperlocal content stays hyperlocal to your market — we just happen to live here.

What's the 90-day rank guarantee?

If your average rank doesn't improve in 90 days, we work for free until it does. In writing. That's not something a $99/mo SaaS can offer because they don't know if you're doing the work on your end.

Comparison — Updated 2026

Lead Oracle vs APEX: Which gets you booked calls — not just better rankings?

If you're choosing between a $99/mo SaaS dashboard and a done-for-you local authority team, the right answer depends on one question: do you want to manage your marketing — or do you want it handled?

01 — The Short Version

Lead Oracle AI

SaaS dashboard · $99/mo per location · self-managed

—You connect your GBP and the AI posts on autopilot
—You manage the dashboard, review the work, fix what's off
—Best for: businesses comfortable with software + DIY oversight
—Bottom line: cheap, fast, hands-on

APEX by AMP8 Media

Done-for-you service · $497–$1,497/mo · fully managed

—We run your Google Business Profile + AI visibility every day
—You get a real team, a 90-day rank guarantee, and weekly proof
—Best for: owners who'd rather see results than learn software
—Bottom line: more expensive per month, more done per month

Same problem. Two completely different answers.

03 — The Three Things That Actually Move the Needle

Posting is the easy part. Ranking is what no one talks about.

Neighborhood Authority

SaaS tools post about your city. We anchor every post, photo, and citation to your exact neighborhood — landmark by landmark. When Google sees "12 minutes from Vancouver Mall" it ranks you differently than "serving Vancouver." That's the difference between getting found and getting booked.

Dual-Audience Optimization

You're not just ranking on Google anymore. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini all recommend local businesses now. We optimize for both — humans clicking through Maps and AI agents reading your structured data. Lead Oracle handles Google. APEX handles every place buyers actually search.

Real Proof, Real Clients

We're not running a SaaS. We run actual clients — Eurocuts went from rank 10.32 to 1.77 in 90 days. Bearson Lifts, Thrive Therapy, Beyond Eating Recovery — all real businesses, all tracked publicly. A dashboard can't show you that. People can.

04 — Let's Be Honest

Sometimes the cheaper tool is the right tool.

We'd rather lose the sale than waste your money. Lead Oracle is a great fit if any of this sounds like you:

•You enjoy the software side of marketing and have 2–4 hours a week to spend on it
•You only manage one or two locations
•You're not ready to invest $497+ per month and want to learn the ropes first
•You already rank well and just need to maintain your profile
•You don't need a website, video content, or off-site authority — just GBP posts

→ If that's you, leadoracle.ai is a solid pick. We mean it.

05 — When You're Ready for Done-For-You

You should pick APEX if any of this is true:

•You don't want to log into another dashboard. Ever.
•You've already paid for SaaS tools and didn't move the needle
•You want neighborhood-level content, not generic city posts
•You want one fee that covers GBP + AI visibility + citations + (optionally) a new site and video
•You want a 90-day ranking guarantee from a team that puts it in writing

08 — Straight Answers

The questions everyone asks before they switch.

No. Lead Oracle is software you operate. APEX is a team that operates everything for you — including things Lead Oracle doesn't touch, like off-site authority, citation building, neighborhood-anchored content, and (in Dominance) full site builds and video.
