Pricing, in the open.
Most agencies hide their pricing until you are on a call. Ours is published. Build your own plan below, see your real number, and know it before we ever talk.
Build your plan. See your number.
Turn on the modules you need, set your ad spend, and watch it add up. This is our real model, the same one we quote from.
SEO is a flat monthly fee
A $299/mo Command Center base, plus the modules you need. No per-hour billing, no surprises.
Paid is a percentage of spend
A management fee that steps down like tax brackets as your budget grows, never a markup on the media. You pay the platforms directly.
One onboarding, then month to month
A single $899 onboarding covers your audit and setup. After that it is month to month, with no forced bundles and no long-term contracts.
Every module, every tier, in the open.
Paid media management
Google Ads, programmatic, OTT and CTV, audio, socialWe charge a management fee on ad spend, never a markup on the media. The fee is marginal, like tax brackets: each slice of spend is charged at its own rate and the percentage steps down as your budget grows, so scale never gets punished. Media is billed to you directly by the platforms.
| $0 to $10k | $10k to $20k | $20k to $40k | $40k to $80k | $80k to $160k | $160k to $320k | $320k+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | 10% | 8% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% |
Marginal rate by monthly spend slice. Minimum management fee $1,000/mo.
