Single-channel retainers cost more per channel than our bundled plans. Bundling SEO and Paid Search together is the best value if you need both. Single-channel retainers require a 3-month minimum commitment.
Higher-volume single-channel programs can be scoped individually, just ask.

Pricing FAQ

Our retainers are month-to-month with a 3-month minimum commitment. We also offer annual plans, billed annually with a 12-month commitment, at a 20% discount for bundle tiers and 10% for single-channel tiers. We do not lock clients into long-term contracts beyond that because we believe the results should keep you, not a contract.
No. The retainer covers strategy, management, and reporting. Ad spend is billed directly to your Google Ads account and is separate from our management fee. This keeps your spend fully transparent and in your control at all times.
Each tier includes management of up to a certain monthly ad spend. If your program grows beyond that ceiling, we move you to the next tier. We will never manage more spend than we can manage well, and we will always tell you if your program is outgrowing its tier.
Yes. We offer standalone Single Channel retainers for brands that only need SEO or only need Paid Search right now. They are priced lower than our bundle tiers, though bundling both services together remains the best overall value. You can always add the second channel later as your needs grow.
Yes. Monthly retainers require a 3-month minimum commitment. Annual plans, billed annually at a discount, require a 12-month commitment. Search takes time to show results, and these minimums give a program enough runway to demonstrate meaningful progress. After the initial commitment, monthly retainers can be adjusted up, down, or out.
A good starting point is your current or intended monthly ad spend. If you are spending or planning to spend under $4,000/mo on Google Ads, Scout is the right fit. $4,000 to $10,000/mo points to Knight. $10,000 to $25,000/mo calls for Commander. Above $25,000/mo, our Sovereign tier is scoped individually for your program. If you are not sure, we will talk through it with you.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. An SEO or Google Ads audit gives you a clear picture of where you stand before committing to ongoing work. Many clients use an audit as their first step and then move into a retainer once they have seen how we work.
