Marketing service providers and agencies are notorious for trying to convince business owners that their solution is the best solution. It’s our contention that marketers (not necessarily as a result of bad intentions) may be suggesting wasteful and ineffective marketing services and solutions to business owners. We believe in focusing your marketing investment on strategies that are most likely to produce tangible and measurable results. If we can help you, we’ll let you know. If we can’t, we’ll tell you that too! If we think you could save money with an alternative option, that’s information we’ll share with you. We’re not interested in selling services that aren’t designed to produce measurable and tangible results for your marketing investment.
A recent article from IMPACT lists $100 – $180/hr as a standard range for digital marketing service pricing. Because we’re a small, remote agency with low overhead we’re able to offer top-notch service at $85/hr.
We also do our best to be resourceful for our clients to get the job done without charging them an arm and a leg! One such example is that instead of creating custom designed “landing pages”, we use a cost effective tool called Landingi to create great looking pages (like this one) for a fraction of the cost. We’re not interested in doing work because we can bill for it…we’re interested in doing work that makes a difference for your business. If we do, you’ll stick around and we’ll have a fruitful and successful long term partnership.
This really makes us proud! When it comes to search marketing & online advertising campaigns, we’re the go-to experts for nearly half a dozen other small agencies and consultants nationwide. We’ve earned a reputation as true experts in the field and are currently trusted and contracted by other marketing pros to perform and guide SEO online advertising campaigns for their clients.
3 Steps to Get Started
Step 1: Schedule Your Free 30-Minute Strategy Call
This is the first step we’ll take with each and every client. We’ll get to ask questions, learn more about your business and find out exactly what you’re hoping to accomplish. During this call, we’ll also get an idea if we are likely to be a good fit for you, and vice-versa.
Step 2: Get Your Custom Strategy & Suggestions Plan
After we’ve completed your complimentary strategy call, we’ll perform research and craft recommendations & suggestions for where to best allocate your marketing budget in order to produce real, measurable results. Unlike many other agencies, this isn’t a chance for us to cram our services down your throat — instead, it will be an honest blueprint that you can use to shape your marketing budget whether you work with us or not!
Step 3: We Provide a Formal Service Proposal
If after receiving your custom strategy & suggestions outline you decide you’d like to enlist our help to make the magic happen, we’ll provide a quote for services. Remember, we’re here to take on the work that requires our experience and experience, not to charge you for services that are unlikely to produce real and measurable results for your marketing dollars!
