Answer the inquiry, or run the marketing that creates it.
TruLata is an AI marketing platform that runs search, ads, content, outbound and email on a schedule and counts every lead from your own site on one screen. Podium describes an AI Employee that handles customer conversations and books appointments for local businesses. Podium's details on this page come from its own website, read in September 2026.
Is it built for a business like mine?
TruLata is built for a service business, whoever runs its marketing: an owner who carries it on the side, or a marketer who wants more reach.
Podium presents itself for local businesses and asks you to choose an industry, naming auto dealerships, home services, aesthetics and retail categories. Its site says it was built specifically for businesses like yours.
What will I pay, and when do I find out?
Starter is $400 a month, Launch $650, Growth $1,200, and Command is scoped per engagement. Every published tier is month to month with no setup fee, and committing annually drops the monthly twenty percent. Command is scoped with you. The same figures sit on the pricing page.
Ask Podium for its monthly price, how often it bills and the shortest term you can sign, in writing.
What does each one run for me?
Engines run on a schedule whether anyone is at a desk, and the team that built them runs them. Starter carries the TruLata dashboard, full analytics, leads, search visibility, the AI visibility program, managed Google Ads search, the assistant and briefings and support tickets. Launch adds the content engine. Growth adds Meta ads. Command adds the outbound engine, social media management and your full marketing team, always on.
Podium says its AI Employee manages the customer journey from first inquiry through booking, responding, qualifying and booking on its own. The site describes the result as one connected system.
Whose lead count can I trust?
Trust your own count. Forms on a site we build are handled server-side, and each submission is written to a Google Sheet and emailed to the team as it lands. At 7:20 Eastern every morning, on an instance whose forms feed the sheet, the lead watch compares it with the conversions Google Ads counted and the events GA4 recorded, so a dead tag or a blind ad account shows up the next day.
Whoever you choose, ask whether the lead count on your screen is your own record or the ad platform's.
- A form is submitted on your siteHandled server-side, written to a Google Sheet and emailed to your team as it lands
- 7:20am ET, every morningThe lead watch compares the sheet with Google Ads conversions and GA4 events
- The next day, not next quarterA dead tag or a blind ad account shows up
Will I see every change made to my ads?
At 7:05 Eastern every morning one job reads the change history of every ads account connected to us, plus the list of who holds access to it. Our own writes land in that same history, so what our team did sits on the same record as everyone else's.
Ask Podium how you would see a change made to your ads account last week, and who holds access to it today.

- For PodiumHow would you see a change made to your ads account last week, and who holds access today?
What do I keep if I leave?
Keep your accounts. Every Google connection is a grant you can revoke in your own console, we never ask for an account password, and where your forms feed a lead sheet the sheet stays where it is. What we read and what leaves with you is written out in full.
Ask Podium who owns the ad account, the analytics property, the website and the domain on the day you leave.

- Your Google accountsEach connection is a manager invitation you grant and can revoke in your own console
