Marketing Agency Pricing: What Coast333 Costs & Why

Pricing

What marketing with Coast333 actually costs.

Most marketing agency pricing stays hidden until a sales call. Ours doesn’t. Here are the starting prices for every service, what moves them, and how an engagement works, so you know whether we’re in range before we ever talk.

  • Prices published, not hidden
  • Your ad accounts stay in your name
  • Month to month after your first term

How pricing works

Four things decide the price.

There’s no package to squeeze into. Each service is priced on its own, from some combination of these four.

Ad spend managed

For Google Ads and Local Services Ads, the fee steps up with the budget we manage. Above $80,000 a month it becomes a percentage of spend.

Hours of work

SEO, social media and reputation work are priced in monthly blocks of hours. More hours, more ground covered.

Commitment length

Most services offer a shorter and a longer term. The longer term always costs less per month.

Scope

Each extra ad platform or Google Business Profile location adds to the fee in a fixed, predictable step.

Google Ads management fee, by monthly ad spend

Lead generation, one platform

Up to $5k$975
Up to $10k$1,500
Up to $20k$2,250
Up to $40k$3,750
Up to $80k$6,750

The fee grows more slowly than the budget. At $5,000 of spend it’s about 20% of what’s managed; at $80,000 it’s about 8%.

Social media, 5 hours a month, by commitment

Same work, different term

2 months$1,275
6 months$1,050
12 months$900

A twelve-month term is $375 a month less than a two-month term for exactly the same hours.

Before any of these prices

The first step is free, and it decides which of these is worth paying for.

A free Competitive Marketing Analysis looks at three competitors you name, shows how they’re winning, and sorts what we find by what deserves your attention first. Sometimes the honest answer is that the next best move isn’t a service we sell, and we’ll say so.

Service by service

What each service costs, and what’s included.

Fees are billed at the start of each month. Your exact price is set out in a written proposal before anything is signed.

Questions

Pricing FAQs.

How much does a marketing agency cost?

It depends far more on the service and the scope than on the agency. At Coast333, ongoing work starts at $375 a month for Local Services Ads alongside Local SEO, $750 a month per location for Local SEO, $900 a month for social media, $975 a month for Google Ads lead generation, and $2,250 a month for national SEO.

What moves the price: the ad budget being managed, the number of platforms or locations, the hours of work each month and how long you commit.

Is ad spend included in these prices?

No. Every price on this page is a fee for the work. Your ad spend is charged by Google, Meta or whichever platform you advertise on, directly to the card on your own account. It never passes through us.

Who owns the ad accounts?

You do. Your ad accounts are in your business’s name, with your card attached. We’re given admin access to manage them, and when the agreement ends we remove our own access. If you want campaigns paused or left running at that point, just tell us.

Why is Google Ads management priced by ad spend?

Because the work grows with the budget. A larger budget usually means more campaigns, more keywords, more testing and more money at risk if something drifts. The fee still grows more slowly than the budget: about 20% of spend at $5,000 a month, about 8% at $80,000.

Are there setup fees?

Mostly not. The exceptions are:

  • Local Services Ads setup: $750 on a three-month term, $375 on six months, nothing on twelve months.
  • Google screening setup ($750, one time) if you want Local Services Ads through Google Ads and aren’t screened yet.
  • The analyses that start national SEO ($1,500), organic social ($1,125) and reputation repair ($2,995).
Why is there a minimum commitment?

Because the early months are when the foundation gets built. In paid search, the first 30 to 60 days go to data collection, keyword refinement and cutting traffic that doesn’t convert. SEO and social take longer still. A minimum stops anyone, us included, judging the work before it’s had a fair chance.

What happens when the commitment ends?

The agreement continues month to month at the same rate, and either side can end it with 30 days’ written notice. If you’d rather lock in a lower monthly rate, you can renew for a longer term instead.

How often will I get reports, and how do I reach you?

Every service includes a monthly report and a monthly strategy meeting, where we go through the results and set the plan for the month ahead. On Google Ads, extra meetings are $225 each. Between meetings, you have a dedicated contact for each service, a client platform where every message about your account lives (each one also arrives by email), and a private client phone line during business hours, Eastern time.

What if the work needs more hours than my plan?

Nothing extra is done or billed unless you approve it in writing first. If the work consistently needs more, we’ll talk about moving up a tier instead.

Can I change my plan or add services later?

Yes. Each service is priced on its own, so adding one simply adds its fee. On Google Ads, you can add platforms at any time and scale back with 30 days’ written notice. Many businesses start with the one service the analysis points to and add others once it’s working.

I don’t know which service I need. Where do I start?

With the free Competitive Marketing Analysis. It shows how three competitors you name are winning and sorts the findings by what deserves attention first. You can see what the work looks like in our analysis breakdowns.
