How the Partner Program Works

No complex portals. No sales training required. Just a simple, honest process that respects your professional relationships.

1

You Make the Introduction

When a client or contact mentions they need a website, better SEO, or more leads from Google — mention G Squared Studios. A quick text, email, or in-person intro is all it takes.

2

We Handle Everything

James George personally follows up, provides a free consultation, and walks your referral through the options. You don’t need to pitch, explain pricing, or manage any part of the process.

3

We Close the Deal

Once your referral signs on, we notify you immediately with a written confirmation of the project value and your referral fee. Everything is clear and transparent.

4

You Get Paid

Your referral fee is paid within 30 days of the client’s first project payment — by check, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. No waiting, no chasing invoices, no fine print.

Your Earnings

A Clear, Honest Referral Fee Structure

We pay 10% of every project you refer, with no cap on how many referrals you can make.

Common Questions

Referral Partner FAQ

Everything you need to know before applying — no fine print, no surprises.

QDo I need to sign a contract to become a referral partner?
No. There’s no formal contract, no minimum referrals, and no obligation to send a certain number of clients per month. Our partnership is built on a simple handshake agreement — you send clients our way, and we pay you when they sign on.
QHow do I track whether my referral was credited to me?
Ask your referral to mention your name when they reach out, or introduce them directly by email or text. You’ll receive written confirmation of every referral fee owed to you before we request payment from the client.
QWhen do I get paid, and how?
Referral fees are paid within 30 days of the client’s first project payment. We pay by check, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle — whichever is easiest for you.
QWhat if my referral needs something you don’t offer?
G Squared Studios handles web design, SEO, graphic design, Google Ads, and digital marketing. If a referred client has needs outside our scope, we’ll say so honestly and will never misrepresent our services.
QIs there a limit to how many clients I can refer?
No limit whatsoever. Refer one client or fifty — each one earns you a fee. We welcome as many introductions as you’re comfortable making.
QWill G Squared Studios poach my clients for other services?
Absolutely not. Your client relationships are sacred. We will only provide the services you refer them for and will never pitch your clients on anything else.
