Transparent Digital Marketing Pricing
Our Pricing“How much does it cost?”
We believe in transparency. Most agencies make you sit through a pitch before they’ll talk numbers. We’d rather give you honest ranges upfront so you can decide whether it’s worth having a conversation.
The Short AnswerOur Digital Marketing engagements typically fall into two categories:
Recurring MonthlyRetainer Engagements
Ongoing digital marketing programs. SEO, paid media, analytics, content, or a combination.
Range: $5,000–$15,000/month
Where you land in that range depends on:
The number of channels we’re actively managing
The size and complexity of your campaigns or website
How much of the execution Augurian handles vs. your internal team
The level of strategy and reporting involved
Most mid-market clients working with Augurian on an integrated program land between $8,000– $12,000/month. Narrower engagements (single channel, smaller scope) can be as low as $5,000/month. Complex multi-channel programs for larger organizations can exceed $15,000/month.
Plan to invest for at least 6 months. Organic channels in particular take time to compound; we’ll be clear about what to expect on what timeline.
One-TimeProject Engagements
Defined scope, defined deliverable. Common project engagement examples:
Digital Marketing Audit & Strategy — $5,000–$8,000
A thorough diagnostic of your current digital marketing: SEO, paid media, analytics, or all three. Includes a prioritized roadmap and recommendations. A good starting point if you want an honest outside assessment before committing to an ongoing engagement.
Analytics Buildout — $5,000–$8,000
GA4 audit and configuration, conversion tracking setup, Google Tag Manager implementation, CRM integration, and dashboard build with training for your team.
Website Migration SEO — $7,000–$20,000
Pre- and post-migration SEO management to protect your organic rankings through a redesign or replatform. Scope varies by site size and complexity.
Landing Page Development — $2,000–$4,000
Campaign-specific landing pages built for conversion. Includes copywriting and development.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Marketing work can be done on a wide spectrum of depth and effort. The variables that drive cost are straightforward:
Scope of channels — Managing SEO, paid search, paid social, and email simultaneously requires more people and more hours than a single-channel engagement.
Execution vs. strategy — Some clients want Augurian to do the work. Others have internal teams and want strategy and oversight. We can do either — but full execution costs more.
Complexity — A 10,000-page e-commerce site is a different SEO challenge than a 50-page B2B website. A $500k/month ad budget requires more management than a $20k/month budget.
Reporting depth — Standard monthly reporting is included in all engagements. Custom analytics buildouts, closed-loop reporting, and executive dashboards are scoped separately.
-
Retainer contracts with no deliverables — Every engagement includes clearly defined work and outcomes we’re accountable for
Surprise fees — We scope carefully and have a clear process for handling anything that falls outside the original agreement
Lock-in clauses designed to trap you — We earn renewals with results, not contract language
“Package” pricing that doesn’t fit your needs — We don’t sell pre-packaged services. We scope to your actual situation.
-
If your budget is comfortably within the ranges above, we should talk. If you’re on the fence about budget, reach out anyway — we’ll be honest with you about what’s achievable at your investment level and whether we’re the right fit.
If your budget is below our minimum, we’ll tell you that directly and point you toward resources or agencies that are a better match. We’d rather do that than start an engagement that’s set up to disappoint.
