For owner-run education businesses in New York.
Same Hour works on what happens after someone finds your website or Google listing: the next step on the page, the first reply, the booking, and the follow-up. We are not an ad agency, and we do not sell search rankings.
No call needed. Within three business days, you’ll get a three-minute video showing one specific change to your website or inquiry process that you can make yourself.
They are on your website, deciding whether to get in touch.
They answer three short questions and see when to expect a reply.
In your voice, with a link to pick a consultation time.
Thursday at 5:30 pm. Two reminders scheduled.
The founder
Same Hour was founded by Colin Brown, an operator from Meta, Google, and a Tokyo education firm. He does every audit and project himself, so the firm takes a few clients at a time.
Who it’s for
Firms of one to ten people, where you are the person who decides. We work remotely with New York firms and admissions businesses elsewhere.
$4K to $20Kper family package
Application packages for New York and international families.
$100 to $150an hour of strong test prep
Including SHSAT prep in Queens and Brooklyn.
Every seasona new enrollment cycle
Coding, chess, debate, and music.
Year-roundinquiries that never stop
Language schools and graduate-exam prep.
Where interest gets lost
A page with no clear next step, a reply that arrives the next afternoon, or a booking that takes four emails can each give someone a reason to put the decision off.
Both timelines are illustrative examples, not client results.

The name is the standard we build toward: anyone who reaches out should hear back in the same hour.
How it works
Where families come from, what happens in the first hour, and what one more enrollment is worth.
A recorded review of your own site and intake, with one fix you can make this week.
Two weeks, a prioritized fix list, a one-hour call, the $1,500 credited toward any project, and a full refund if you say it was not worth it.
One page that shows whether it worked, so you decide what to renew.

An instant personal reply with a booking link, and a text to you.
The form asks about grade, subject, and timing, then sends ready families to your calendar.
Reminders the day before and two hours before, with one-tap rescheduling.
A personal request for a Google review after each milestone.
A campaign to past families, timed to test dates and deadlines.
Agreement, payment, and forms sequenced automatically.
The five monthly numbers, compiled for you.
Proof
Your baseline is written down before anything changes. Then the same five numbers, every month.
We promise the system and the cadence, never a ranking or a revenue figure. The numbers decide whether you renew.
