Pricing · 2 ways to work with us

Priced per page.
Or per quarter.

Local service businesses buy a page library: a flat $50 a page while it is built, then $500 a month to keep it ranking. B2B SaaS teams buy a go-to-market retainer: a setup quarter that builds the whole system, then a monthly plan that runs it. Every line item carries a published unit price.

For local service businesses

A page library, at $50 a page.

One researched page for every service you sell in every city you serve, 40 to 300 pages depending on your trade and your area. The audit and keyword map come first, 1 page is approved section by section, then the library ships in monthly phases and is billed phase by phase.

During the build, billed per monthly phase$50 per page

Researched SEO pages

  • Deep keyword + topic + data research per cluster
  • Page design: up to 10 sections per page
  • Unique copywriting per page (no duplicate content)
  • Custom graphics + motion on every page
Once the library is live$500 per month

Page library maintenance

  • Search Console monitoring across every page
  • Refreshes to pages that slip or go stale
  • Index and crawl checks after every change
  • A report each month: clicks, impressions, positions
For B2B SaaS · 3 retainer plans

Every subscription starts with a setup quarter.

The first 90 days are the heavy-lift build: positioning, brand, pages, SEO, content calendar, first batch shipped. After that, monthly maintenance keeps the cadence alive at a fraction of the setup cost. Every monthly line item is customizable. Opt out and the price drops.

The other math

What it costs to build the same in-house.

The honest comparison isn’t à la carte freelancers, it’s the loaded cost of hiring a real marketing team. Salaries, benefits, payroll tax, tools, equipment, ramp-up time. Here’s the math.

5-person in-house teamannual loaded cost
  • Senior content writer + editor$65,000
  • Senior brand / web designer$72,500
  • SEO / GEO strategist$72,500
  • Motion / video designer$65,000
  • Content / social manager$57,500
Total$332,500

Plus software, tooling, and equipment on top of salary. Plus 6 months of hiring and ramp before the first deliverable ships.

Sources & methodology

Base salaries reflect 2026 averages for senior marketing roles (US, remote-eligible) per Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, and Built In. Loaded cost applies a 1.35× multiplier (base + benefits + payroll tax + tools + ramp) per SHRM and BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, Q4 2025.

How we charge

What’s fair & transparent.

  • One-time setup fee. Then monthly retainer. Net-15 invoicing.
  • 30-day offramp after the commit period.
  • Every item has a unit price. You always know what you're buying.
  • Media spend passed through at cost under $15k/mo. Flat management fee instead of % markup.
  • Third-party tools stay on your billing. No markup.
  • Month-13 pricing review. We lower what's now cheap to ship.
What that means for you

Yours, start to finish.

  • Every price is a flat fee, agreed before the work starts.
  • We are paid for the pages we ship, which keeps the incentive on shipping good ones.
  • You keep every dollar the pages earn you.
  • Scope comes out of the research, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
  • Every line item shows its own math.
  • You own the pages and the domain, so you can walk at any time.

Not ready for a quarterly commit?

Every service has a published unit price. Buy a single line at the unit price for a flat-fee one-off, or bundle 2+ engines as a Markingo Custom and save up to 27 percent. Either way, the spend rolls into a subscription later with full credit toward setup.

Pricing FAQ

The questions buyers ask on the second call.

Setup fee, switching subscriptions, what happens if you leave, missed milestones, pausing. Everything we’d want to know if we were on the other side.

  • The first quarter is heavy build: positioning, brand, custom CMS + blog pipeline on your stack, the bulk of landing pages, the 12-week editorial calendar, schema architecture, and the first batch of every content type. After Q1 the engine is yours and the monthly fee just keeps the cadence alive. The setup is one-time; the savings on the build are 40 to 80% off à la carte.
