Digital Marketing Pricing

Priced by your market, not by a menu.

Every engagement is the full Trinity — SEO, AEO, and GSO on one architecture. What varies is your market's difficulty, and we price it from the data.

Why we don't sell channels separately

Buying SEO without AEO and GSO is buying a car two wheels at a time. Your buyers ask Google, ChatGPT, and their phones — one engagement covers every place the answer comes from, because one architecture serves all three.

The engagement

Three parts. One outcome: you become the answer.

01

Google Business Profile Campaign

$1,500/mo$2,500/mo in dense metros · month-to-month, run it as long as you want

Want proof first? GBP, Maps, and local SEO for one keyword cluster on your profile. One month or twelve — your call. When you're ready for the full engagement, we simply start the Trinity.

02

The Build — months 1–3

Includedno separate build fee

Market assessment, keyword research and your keyword matrix, brand assessment, site skeleton, full build — the same process this site was built with. Foundational SEO runs in parallel from the moment the skeleton stands: no lost time, no lost ground.

03

Trinity Management

$4,000–12,000/moscoped by competition tier · month-to-month

One number, two jobs: we run your WEBSITE itself — updates, performance, continuous iteration on Google's feedback — and everything search: SEO, AEO, and GSO as one system. Primary cluster campaign and first-location GBP included. Reported on numbers you verify in your own accounts.

Map your clusters — from live search data0 of 1 mapped

What would someone looking for your solution type into Google — or ask their AI?

Example: Miami dentistexample
  • Miami dentist near me
  • dentist Miami
  • invisalign Miami
  • emergency dentist Miami
  • etc.

Up to 50 related keywords per cluster — the five shown are the head of it, from live search data. The goal is a growing share of each whole cluster: rankings, AI-answer citations, and agent recommendations.

Trinity Engagement — your website and your search presence, managed

$6,000/mo
  • Your website itself — built in months 1–3, then run by us: updates, performance, continuous iteration
  • Everything search: SEO, AEO, and GSO managed as one system
  • Primary keyword-cluster campaign — included
  • GBP + local SEO — first location included

Month-to-month, no contracts, published site-ownership terms (see the FAQ below). Ranges reflect the static market matrix — your exact number comes from live difficulty data on your actual keywords.

Cluster campaigns

Growth priced by difficulty, not by guesswork.

Each campaign targets one keyword cluster. Before we quote it, we pull live difficulty, cost-per-click, and competitor data for your actual keywords in your actual market — the price follows the measurement. We target the whole cluster — up to 50 related keywords — and grow your share of it: rankings for a widening portion of the terms, citations in AI answers, and pickup in agent recommendations. Not one keyword to position one; the entire conversation.

The war-zone rule

If your cluster scores Band 4 — say, injury law in Manhattan — we will not sell it to you as an add-on, because no add-on budget wins that fight. We'll show you the data — the same rigor behind our digital marketing case studies — and scope it as the dedicated engagement it actually is. Agencies that promise otherwise are pricing your hope, not your market.

Pricing questions, answered.

How much does Sapid digital marketing cost per month?

Trinity Management runs $4,000/month in local low-competition markets, $6,000/month for regional competition, and $8,000–12,000+/month custom-scoped for premium verticals in major metros. Every engagement includes the full Trinity — SEO, AEO, and GSO — plus Google Business Profile management and continuous site iteration. There is no separate build fee: your AI-built, Trinity-architecture website is delivered across the first three months of the engagement while your initial campaigns run from day one.

Why don’t you sell SEO by itself?

Because buyers no longer search one way. Rankings, AI citations, and voice answers are one visibility problem served by one site architecture — selling them separately is selling a car two wheels at a time. Splitting channels means paying twice for the same foundation and getting a strategy that pulls your site in different directions. The one exception is the standalone Google Business Profile Campaign — a month-to-month Maps engagement you can run for as long as you like, designed for businesses that want proof before committing to the full build.

What is a keyword cluster campaign?

A cluster is a group of related keywords your buyers use — for example, everything around "invisalign" for a dental practice. Each campaign funds the content buildout, optimization, and tracking for one cluster, priced by its measured difficulty: we pull live keyword-difficulty, cost-per-click, and competitor data for your actual keywords in your actual market, and the price follows the data. Easy clusters cost less; battleground clusters cost more; war-zone clusters (think personal-injury law in Manhattan) are not add-ons at all — they are dedicated engagements, and we will show you the data that says so.

Is there a contract?

No. Trinity Management is month-to-month — you stay because the numbers justify it. Your website is built inside the first three months of the engagement, and you keep it either way: everything lives in your accounts and your infrastructure. The standalone Google Business Profile Campaign is month-to-month too — run it a month or a year, and upgrade to the full engagement whenever you’re ready.

Do I own my website?

Yes — your domain, your accounts, your analytics, your Search Console, and your website. The build is subsidized by the engagement, so if you leave within the first twelve months you choose between two published options. Full buyout: take the site exactly as it runs, fully optimized — headings, metadata, schema, internal-link architecture, everything — for the remaining build balance (your kickoff build plan prices every page at $750, credited one-twelfth for each completed month; from month twelve the balance is zero and the optimized site is simply yours). Standard handover, free: take your complete working website — design, content, pages, navigation — without the search-engineering layer, which is our work product; your next SEO team applies their own. Either way we hand over the full repository and support the migration. What never transfers is our management system — the continuous iteration, data pipelines, and playbooks — because that was never in the site. Both options are written into your build plan on day one. No surprises at the door.

How much does digital marketing cost in 2026?

Industry-wide, digital marketing pricing for a serious agency engagement runs roughly $2,500–10,000+ per month, with digital marketing cost driven by market competitiveness, scope, and seniority of the people doing the work. Cheap digital marketing packages under $1,000 tend to be templated deliverables from junior digital marketing teams; enterprise programs run far higher. Our published tiers above sit inside that mid-market band deliberately — priced for businesses where organic search visibility pays for the marketing budget many times over.

What determines digital marketing agency pricing?

Four factors dominate digital marketing agency pricing everywhere: market competitiveness (ranking a personal-injury firm in Manhattan is not ranking a bakery in Boise), scope (how many digital marketing services and channels the retainer covers), who does the work (senior strategists versus a rotating digital marketing team), and what happens to media budget — many agencies quote low management fees, then take a percentage of ad spend, so the real digital marketing cost hides in the media bill. Our pricing model removes two of those variables: no ad spend at all, and the founder does the work.

What do typical digital marketing packages include?

Most digital marketing pricing packages bundle search engine optimization, Google Ads or other PPC advertising, social media management, email campaigns, and sometimes video marketing — a slice of every channel, an inch deep in each. Ours is intentionally different: the full budget concentrates on search — traditional rankings, AI citations, and voice answers — because that is the channel that compounds instead of resetting when spending stops. If you need social media marketing or paid search too, we will say so honestly and coordinate with whoever runs them.

Why is there no ad spend in your pricing?

Because ad spend is rent and we build equity. Google Ads and PPC campaigns produce visits exactly as long as the meter runs, and every January the auction gets more expensive. The same digital marketing budget invested in organic assets — content, structure, authority — keeps producing after the invoice clears, which changes the math for business growth over any horizon longer than a quarter. Plenty of good agencies manage paid media well; we simply are not one of them, on purpose, and our digital marketing pricing reflects a scope with zero pass-through media fees.

How should a small business set a digital marketing budget?

Start from the value of a customer, not from a percentage rule. Industry surveys put typical marketing budgets at 7–12% of revenue, but for a small business the sharper question is: what is a new customer worth, how many does search need to produce to cover the digital marketing services fee, and is that realistic in your market? Our free audit answers that last part with data before you spend anything — and if the math does not favor you, we say so. A digital marketing strategy you cannot afford to sustain for six months is not a strategy.

How does your pricing compare to other digital marketing companies?

Directly comparable on the number, unusually comparable on the terms. Most digital marketing companies price in the same $2,500–10,000+ monthly band — but ask what the fee buys: how much goes to account management layers, what the ad-spend percentage adds, what leaves with you if you cancel. Our answer to each is published: no ad spend, no long-term contract, the website and every account in your name, and a digital marketing partner whose incentive is re-earning the engagement monthly. Comparing published pricing against sales-call quotes is itself a useful filter for how a company treats clients.

How does pricing work for multiple locations?

The Trinity baseline includes Google Business Profile and local SEO for your first location. Each additional location adds the same local-layer work — profile management, Maps optimization, local signals — priced on a gently scaling curve: the per-location rate eases as you add locations, reaching roughly a 25% total scale discount around ten locations. It scales gently on purpose: the heavy lifting per location does not shrink just because there are more of them.
