Why your quote might differ.
How many channels
Starter scopes cover one or two core platforms or a single location. Every extra channel, market or location adds production and reporting time.
Content and production volume
More posts, reels, articles, shoot days or heavy design work all scale the scope beyond the starter anchor.
Media and creator spend
Ad spend is paid directly to the platform and influencer fees to the creator. Both sit outside our management fee and are approved before launch.
Technical depth
Custom AI integrations, complex automation logic, e-commerce, booking systems and large list migrations are scoped as separate projects.
Number of services
Running several disciplines as one connected system is more involved than a single starter scope — and usually where the compounding returns come from.
Support scope
Edit allocations and support priority differ by website package and are shown in the published package details.
Pricing questions
How much does a digital marketing agency cost?
Standalone starting points remain Social Media Marketing from $200/month, Influencer Marketing from $250 per campaign, Local SEO from $200/month, AI Workflows & Chatbots from $300 setup, Branding & Design from $250 per project, existing-site care from $200/month, and Email Marketing from $150/month.

Why do you show starting prices instead of fixed packages?
Because scope varies. The starter anchors reflect a focused, single-channel scope; the right price for you depends on how many channels, locations, pages and content pieces are involved. We keep the entry point low and honest, then tailor the final scope on a call.
What's included in the starting price for social media management?
The $200/month starter covers management of one or two core platforms — a monthly content calendar, creative direction, captions, community-management guidance and a monthly performance report. Ad spend, shoot days and heavy production are scoped separately.
Are ad spend and creator fees included?
No. Media spend is paid directly to the ad platform and influencer payments go to the creator. Our visible starting point is the management fee; spend and creator fees are always approved by you before anything runs.
Is the website build included?
Yes. Website build is included ($0 build fee) with each published package. Monthly prices are Foundation $500/month, Growth $1,000/month, Authority $1,500/month, plus the $100 activation fee.
Do I own the website?
You keep your domain and supplied content. Site ownership transfers after the minimum term or the release fee is paid. Terms: Foundation 6 months, Growth 12 months, Authority 12 months. Release fees: Foundation $600, Growth $900, Authority $1,500. Digital Space Co retains reusable tooling.
Can I combine several services?
Yes. Most clients run two or more disciplines together so each channel compounds the last. We scope the combined engagement after an initial conversation rather than stacking list prices.
How do you decide the final price?
In an initial conversation we map the channels, goals and volume of work involved, then quote a scope you sign off on before we begin. There are no hidden retainers — extras like ad spend, creator fees and separate projects are named up front.
