What drives the cost of digital marketing
The minimum project size tells you where an agency starts. The final quote depends on scope:
- Channel mix: paid search, paid social, SEO, email and content each need different specialists.
- Ad spend vs. fee: management fees are quoted separately from the media budget you pay to the platforms.
- Retainer or project: ongoing management is billed monthly; audits and launches are one-off.
- Reporting and tracking setup: analytics, conversion tracking and dashboards add hours at the start.
