Tired of retainers that bill while proof stalls? You Go Media Pay on Results includes a one-time, non-negotiable, non-refundable administration fee that sets up your program. An initial consultation is a $399 CAD non-refundable retainer, plus applicable taxes, to build your plan. If your Pay on Results application is approved, the $399 is credited toward your program. After that, you pay when agreed results are performed and completed. Monthly result stipends stay sized so the business can afford them.
Corporate growth teams and small family shops use the same model; unit values and stipend sizes differ by program.

How Pay on Results works at You Go Media
- Plan: You choose an administration tier. The fee is one-time, non-negotiable, and non-refundable. We set up a tailored program around your goals and margins.
- Define results: Together we lock what “completed” means: pay-per-click, pay-per-lead, pay-per-call, or another agreed performance definition.
- Pay on completion: You pay when those agreed results are performed and completed. Monthly result stipends can support ongoing proof work.
- Media stay yours: When paid media is in scope, ad spend stays client-controlled unless we explicitly agree otherwise.
Exclusivity applies to Pay on Results programs on the same basis as our ongoing programs. Local market exclusivity is standard, Exclusive Canada Rights is available for an additional fee, and both are set out in your engagement terms.
Pay on Results programs are held in strict confidence and under non-disclosure while the engagement is active. Your name, logo and identifiable results are published only with written consent.

Larger organizations still want fees tied to proof, not vanity reports while pipeline stalls. Corporate Pay on Results programs use the same model with larger agreed unit values: a qualified lead sales will work, a booked call, or another opportunity signal leadership will defend. The Corporate administration tier ($1,395 to $4,350 CAD, plus applicable taxes) covers the setup of that program.
Paid search and ad-waste control can run beside organic programs when your plan needs both. Related services: paid search programs, Google Ads management, national SEO, and B2B search engine marketing. We confirm fit and order when we scope your program, not in a channel science lecture here.
Built for small family shops
Salons, florists, bakeries, bookkeepers, cleaners, and local trades often cannot absorb large retainers that bill whether or not proof arrives. Pay on Results is designed for that climate: the Small business administration fee ($395 CAD, plus applicable taxes) to set up the program, then fees tied to agreed, verified results, with monthly result stipends scoped with you for thin unit economics.
Illustrative only, not your rate: For a small salon, for example, the contribution from a single appointment can be modest after product costs. Pay on Results is built for that reality: an administration fee to set up the program, then fees tied to agreed, verified results, plus monthly result stipends. Exact stipend figures are set in your written scope; the examples here are illustrative, not a performance rate card.

What “a result” can mean
Result metrics are not a fixed public menu of dollar prices. When we scope your program, we may define pay-per-click, pay-per-lead, pay-per-call, or another pay-per-performance definition that matches how your business actually measures progress. Corporate and family-shop briefs can share the model language while using very different unit values.
We refuse ranking guarantees and vanity KPIs that leadership will not defend. If a brief needs an assessment or stack rescue before any result definition is honest, we say so. See the engagement paths on pricing and the full menu on services.
Media spend stays yours
When paid media is in play, advertising spend paid to Google or other platforms stays client-controlled and separate from You Go Media program fees, unless your written scope explicitly says otherwise. This matters: a performance story that quietly folds media into a retainer is not this model.
For budget governance and Ads waste reviews, see PPC and Google Ads management. When reaching both Canadian and US customers matters, the details are on cross-border SEM; US paid delivery, when needed, partners with US firms based in Denver, CO, and those partners are not You Go Media.
Where retainers strain thin-margin businesses
A large monthly retainer that bills while results stall shifts the risk onto the shop, especially when the contribution from a single appointment is already thin. Corporate teams feel a similar pain: pipeline reports that look busy while agreed outcomes never complete.
Pay on Results answers that gap with a different way to pay: a one-time, non-negotiable, non-refundable administration fee that sets up your tailored program, then pay when agreed results complete, with monthly result stipends. It is not a DIY calculator and not a promise that every brief is eligible.

Next step: request a Pay on Results project scope
Choose the administration tier that fits, or share whether you are a corporate or family-shop brief and we will confirm fit. You Go Media scopes the one-time administration fee, agreed result definitions, and monthly stipends, or names a different engagement shape when Pay on Results is not the honest next step.
