The system you own

Everyone has the tools now. Almost nobody has customers coming in.

One system instead of twelve subscriptions — your site, your content, your leads and your follow-up, running from one back office with your name on it.

Eight checks, including whether the AI models people ask for recommendations know you exist. In your inbox in under fifteen minutes.

What changed, measured

Built for owners who wanted the whole thing back.

Three businesses, three owned systems, and the numbers their own analytics reported afterwards. Every face here is the person who signed off on the build.

Founders’ note

BlackMine started as a full-range agency, and for years we wore every hat there is — websites, ads, social, funnels, lead-gen, email. If it is part of getting a business found online, we have done it.

That is exactly why we turned. Having done all of it for other people, we stopped wanting to run things for anyone forever. We would rather build the system, hand over every key, and teach the team to run it — so it keeps growing when we are not in the room.

The data, the systems, the assets stay yours. No being locked into software you do not control, one price change away from starting over.

We serve people who serve people. That is the whole thing.

Latrell & LindonCo-founders
Who we are

Two brothers. One system you keep.

Co-founder · Tech, design and systems

Latrell

Building websites since 2014, and the craft grew from there into landing pages, funnels, brand kits and 3D. He is the one who stays with a problem until it is no longer in the way — and the one who turns a confused owner into a capable operator.

Co-founder · Voice, ads and copy

Lindon

The voice of BlackMine. Anything with words on it — the ads, the social, the messaging — runs through him. He founded his own copywriting agency in 2020, so language is genuinely his craft, not a service line.

Own the system. Sound like yourself.

Why own it

Twelve logins, or one system you own.

Renting

Twelve tools, and you are the glue.

Owning

One system, running without you.

The Foundation Sprint

Three things, and the keys to all of them.

01 / The storefront

The part your customers meet.

One mobile-first page, one offer, one clear next step — written to sell what you already do, not an invented pitch.

02 / The back office

The part that runs without you.

A lead is acknowledged, followed up and booked whether or not you are at your desk.

03 / The keys

The part most agencies keep.

Built in your accounts and handed over, then we teach your team to run it.

Step 01 / The Brand Brain

It starts with one core.

Your story, your voice, your data — one owned source of truth that everything else draws from.

Step 02 / Wired in

Every channel, drawing from it.

Ads, SEO, content, funnels, automation — each plugged into your core, working as one instead of scattered across twelve logins.

Step 03 / Sovereign

A system that's yours.

It compounds every month and reaches your whole market — and you own every piece of it.

Tax strategy

The Tax Team

A homepage that finally sounds like Aileen.

The old site said "Proud to Be Your Accountants" over a stock laptop photo, and there was no way to actually book. We rebuilt it around her, with a plain promise and a Book Now path that did not exist before.

Mobile detailing

SlickShine

From two details a month to booked out two months ahead.

A dark generic template with a vague headline, doing about two details a month. We rebuilt it to lead with the claim they could actually back — best mobile detailing in town — and gave it one-tap paths to schedule, shop and bundle.

Barber expo

Hall of Cuts

Ticketing and voting, finally under one roof.

The expo was juggling disconnected apps — one for tickets, another for barber voting — with exported spreadsheets stitching it together. We built both into his own store: one checkout, one dashboard, no third-party app.

On site with The Tax Team

A week in their office. In their words.

We spent a week inside The Tax Team's office building their system. This is what the team said on the way out.

You are adding so much value, you have no idea.

The Tax Team

BlackMine is family. We actually hope you come back soon so we could do more of this.

The Tax Team

You guys should come down more often.

What it costs

Builds start at $5,000. We take a couple a month.

That is the honest version of scarcity: we are two people, and a Foundation Sprint is two weeks of real work. Knowing the number before you book a call saves us both the conversation neither of us wants.

Straight answers

The questions you were going to ask anyway.

If one of these is a dealbreaker, better to find out here than three emails in.

Why pay you when I could just use AI myself?

You could — the same way you could do your own taxes or cut your own hair. The tools are there.

But there is a canyon between having access to AI and having a system that brings customers every week. We build it around your exact business, you own it, and it keeps running while you run your company. You are not paying for AI. You are paying for it to actually work.

What do I actually own when this is done?

The domain, the data, the audience, the content, and the Brand Brain that produced it. All of it is in your accounts, under your name.

That is the whole difference between this and a subscription: if you walked away from us tomorrow, nothing turns off and nothing gets held hostage.

How long does the build take?

Two weeks. Your system goes live in 14 days, or we keep working free until it does.

That is a completion guarantee, and it is the only kind we make — see the question below on leads.

How much does it cost?

The Foundation Sprint starts at $5,000, paid upfront, or 50% non-refundable deposit and 50% on delivery. No payment plans beyond that.

Larger builds scope up from there. Ads and ongoing content are priced separately and honestly, and you will see every number before you agree to it.

Do you guarantee a number of leads?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Conversions depend on your market, your offer and your pricing — three things no agency controls.

What we guarantee is what we control: the system goes live on time, and once we run your traffic, every click and dollar is visible to you.

What happens after the build?

You get a live system with no traffic in it yet. Most people’s next question is how to fill it, and that is the retainer — traffic, ongoing content, and sharpening the offer as we learn the business.

It is optional. Plenty of clients take the build, run it themselves, and call us when they are ready.

How it works

We build it.You own it.

We don't rent you five disconnected tools. We build one system around your Brand Brain — your story, your voice, your data — and hand you the keys. That's The Digital Steward: build it, you own it, we teach you to run it.
