Most agencies make you sit through a discovery call to find out whether you can afford them. Here are the numbers. If they do not work for your business, you have saved us both an hour.
Ongoing marketing runs month to month. Ad spend is billed separately and goes straight to Google or Meta, so you always know what we are paid and what the platforms are paid. Those are two different numbers on two different invoices and we will never blend them.
For a business with a decent site that needs the phone to ring.
Everything, including me on site with a camera twice a month.
One-time project. Most Minnesota small business sites land in here.
No contracts on the monthly plans. For SEO we ask you to give it six months before judging it, because that is honestly how long it takes to be worth judging. That is a recommendation, not a lock. You can leave any month. If you would rather commit to twelve months, two on-site photo and video shoots are included at no charge, and that content is yours to use anywhere, including in your ads.
These are real ranges from real invoices, not anchors designed to make the monthly plans look cheap. Where a price depends on scope we say so instead of inventing a number.
| What | Price | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Website build | $3,500 to $6,500 | Custom WordPress, written copy on every page, local SEO setup, forms and call tracking. Most small business sites land in the middle of that range. Bigger builds are quoted. |
| E-commerce build | Quoted | WooCommerce stores depend entirely on product count, variations and how payments and shipping need to work. We scope it properly rather than guess. |
| Print and brand design | From $250 | Booklets, flyers, catalogs, business cards, vehicle and signage artwork. Priced by the piece and the complexity. |
| Photo and video shoot | Quoted | On-site at your job. Stills for the website and profile, vertical cuts for Facebook and Instagram, captions and edits included. Priced by travel and scope. You own and keep the files. |
| Product photography | Quoted | Studio product shots for catalogs and online stores. Priced by the number of products and how many angles each one needs. |
| Google Business Profile setup and verification | $600 | One time. Includes the drive out to your location, the video walkthrough Google now asks for, and the listing built out properly once it is approved. After that, keeping the profile worked is part of any monthly plan. |
Two things we no longer sell. Standalone logo design, because a logo without the rest of the brand around it rarely does anything for a business. And one-off SEO audits with no follow-through, because handing somebody a PDF of problems they cannot fix is not a service.
Looking for a specific service? Website design, local SEO, Google Ads, Meta ads, print and brand design, photography and video.
That is deliberate, and here is the honest arithmetic behind it.
No office, no sales team, no account managers, no overseas contractors marking up work. Agencies charging $5,000 a month are often paying four people out of it before anybody touches your account. Here the money goes into the work, which is why $1,500 buys what it buys.
Essentials is $500 because it does one job properly instead of four badly. It is local SEO and your Google Business Profile, worked every month. What it does not do is run your Google and Meta ads on top of that. Anybody selling you all of it for $500 is selling you a report and a slow decline.
One person can only do this properly for a small number of businesses at once. When the list is full it is full. If we ever grow, we build the team first and hold the pricing, rather than taking the money and figuring it out afterwards.
Clicks in Minnesota home services run around $4 to $6. At $15 a day you are buying roughly 85 clicks a month, which is a few leads once tracking and targeting are right. $25 to $30 a day is where most of our accounts start to feel steady. That is on top of the management fee and it goes straight to Google, never through us.
Essentials. Local SEO and your Google Business Profile worked every month, a new page and a new article added to the site every month, rank tracking, and reporting you can open in your own portal whenever you want. What it does not include is running your ads. If you want Google and Meta managed as well, that is Growth at $1,500. If $500 is the budget, Essentials is what we would spend it on.
No. Monthly plans are month to month and you can leave any month. We ask for six months on SEO as a recommendation because that is how long it takes to judge fairly, but it is not a lock and we will not hold your site or your accounts hostage if you go. A twelve month commitment is optional, and if you take it we include two on-site photo and video shoots at no charge.
You keep the website, the domain, the Google Ads account, the Business Profile and every photo and video we shot. All of it is in your name from the start. The only thing that stops is the work. We think an agency that has to trap clients has already lost the argument.
Yes, and plenty of clients do. The site is a standalone project at $3,500 to $6,500 with no obligation after. We will be straight with you though: a site with nobody feeding it tends to sit still. If that is the plan, we would rather build you something simple that you can live with than something elaborate that goes stale.
What was spent, how many leads it produced, what each one cost, where your rankings moved, and what we changed. Written in plain sentences, two minutes to read. Not a forty page PDF of charts that nobody opens and that exists to look like work.
