General About RTC
What is Robles Technologies Corp. (RTC)?

RTC is a Filipino-founded IT services company that bridges world-class Filipino IT talent with global clients. We specialize in Smartsheet development, technical consulting, and AI-powered SEO — delivering high-standard execution with zero offshore communication friction.

Who do you typically work with?

We work with growing businesses and enterprises that need reliable tech support — from startups scaling their operations to Fortune 500 companies needing specialized Smartsheet or integration work. Our clients span various industries across the US and globally.

Where is RTC based and how does remote delivery work?

Our team is based in the Philippines, operating with global delivery standards. We bridge the communication gap that typically comes with offshore vendors — you get world-class talent with clear, proactive communication and consistent quality throughout the engagement.

How do I get started with RTC?

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. After that, we scope the project and send you a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours — no commitment required until you're ready to move forward.

Smartsheet Development Services
Do I need an existing Smartsheet subscription to work with RTC?

Yes. Your Smartsheet plan (Pro, Business, or Enterprise) is billed directly by Smartsheet to your organization — not through RTC. Our fees cover the consulting, build, and support work we perform within your Smartsheet environment.

What's the difference between the Launchpad, Momentum, and Enterprise tiers?

The tiers scale by complexity and team size:

  • Launchpad ($3,500) — Small teams, up to 5 sheets, basic automations, 1 dashboard. Best for getting started.
  • Momentum ($9,500) — Up to 15 sheets, advanced automations, one third-party integration (e.g. Jira, Salesforce, Slack), and team training.
  • Enterprise ($22,000+) — Unlimited sheets, Bridge workflows, multi-system API integrations, Control Center/PMO setup, and a 90-day adoption guarantee.
Can you integrate Smartsheet with other tools we use?

Yes. We support integrations with tools like Jira, Salesforce, Slack, and more. Third-party integrations are included in the Momentum tier and above, or available as add-ons starting at $3,500 per system.

What happens after the project is delivered?

All tiers include post-launch support — 14 days for Launchpad, 30 days for Momentum, and a full 90-day adoption guarantee for Enterprise. We also offer ongoing Managed Support Retainers starting at $1,500/month if you need continued help.

How long does a Smartsheet project take?

Delivery timelines vary by tier: Launchpad takes 2–3 weeks, Momentum 4–6 weeks, and Enterprise 8–16 weeks depending on scope. We provide milestone updates throughout so you always know where things stand.

Can you add more sheets, dashboards, or integrations after launch?

Yes. We offer enhancement add-ons at any point:

  • Additional API integrations from $3,500 per system
  • Dashboard expansions from $600
  • Extra training sessions from $450
  • Smartsheet AI enablement from $4,500
Technical Consulting Services
What does Technical Consulting include?

Our technical consulting covers technology strategy, systems and API architecture, web and app development, code reviews, platform evaluations, and digital transformation roadmaps. We embed with your team and deliver outcomes, not just advice.

Can I hire RTC for a one-time technical question or review?

Absolutely. Our Advisory tier is available at $200/hr or $1,500 per strategy session with no retainer required. It's ideal for architecture decisions, pre-project planning, code audits, or second opinions on existing technical plans.

What's included in the monthly Retainer?

The Retainer ($3,500/month, minimum 3-month commitment) includes up to 20 hours of consulting, architecture design, API builds and maintenance, web/app feature development, code review, a monthly strategy call, and async support via a dedicated channel. Hours beyond 20/month are billed at $175/hr.

What does the Dedicated (Embedded CTO) tier look like?

At $8,000/month, you get a dedicated technical lead acting as your embedded CTO — unlimited consulting hours within scope, full architecture ownership, cross-platform API development, team management guidance, weekly executive alignment meetings, and a same-business-day response SLA.

Can you build custom web or mobile applications?

Yes. Full-stack web and mobile development is part of our Technical Consulting services. We build client portals, internal tools, and customer-facing products designed to scale with your business.

AI-Powered SEO Services
What is AI-Powered SEO and how is it different from traditional SEO?

We combine AI tools with human oversight to produce keyword research, content briefs, on-page optimization, and competitive analysis at scale — faster and more data-driven than traditional approaches. The result is content engineered to rank and convert, not just fill pages.

What's included in the Starter SEO tier?

The Starter tier ($1,500/month, 3-month minimum) includes 8 AI-optimized blog posts per month, keyword and AI search topic research, a content calendar (Notion or Sheets), and a monthly performance report.

When should I consider the System or Convert tiers?

Choose System ($2,000/month) if you have a site but aren't ranking — it adds on-page SEO for 5 pages/month, FAQ and structured data markup, and quarterly competitor content gap audits.

Choose Convert ($2,500/month) if you're getting traffic that doesn't convert — it adds conversion copy review, a monthly strategy call, and a brand voice guide.

Do I own the content RTC produces?

Yes. Under the Convert tier, all assets are fully owned by the client with no lock-in. We recommend discussing asset ownership terms during your discovery call if you're on a lower tier.

How soon can I expect to see SEO results?

SEO is a long-term investment. Most clients begin seeing measurable movement in rankings and traffic within 3–6 months. The minimum 3-month commitment exists because meaningful SEO impact requires consistency and compounding effort.

Pricing & Process How We Work
Are your prices fixed or do they change after scoping?

We send fixed-price proposals within 48 hours of your discovery call. For project work, what's quoted is what you pay — no hidden fees. Retainers have defined monthly inclusions with overages billed at transparent hourly rates.

What does the delivery process look like end-to-end?

Every engagement follows four phases:

  • Discovery — We listen first, understanding your workflows, goals, and bottlenecks before proposing anything.
  • Solution Design — We map the right technical approach, scoped, documented, and aligned to your business outcomes.
  • Build & Deliver — Consistent communication at every stage — no surprises at launch.
  • Support & Scale — Post-launch support and iteration to ensure solutions scale as you grow.
Can I start with a smaller engagement before committing to a larger one?

Yes. The Advisory tier for Technical Consulting and the Launchpad tier for Smartsheet are both designed as low-commitment entry points. You can expand the engagement once you've seen how we work.

What if my needs don't fit neatly into one of your tiers?

We're flexible. Every engagement starts with a discovery call where we listen to your specific situation. If a standard tier doesn't fit, we'll scope a custom arrangement and price it accordingly.
