Bundles. Most clients combine two or three services into one plan so Google Ads, SEO, and AI search work together. Combined engagements are quoted as a single monthly retainer. Ask on the call.
What you're actually paying for
When you hire a large Detroit agency, a big share of the retainer goes to overhead before anyone touches your account. Office rent, account managers, a sales team, junior staff. Working directly with me, your budget pays for the work itself and for senior-level attention on your campaigns. There's no layer between you and the person running things.
Pricing FAQ
How much does SEO cost in Metro Detroit?
Retainers start at $1,500/month, month-to-month. Most B2B clients invest $1,500 to $3,000/month depending on keyword competition. Local-focused plans can start lower. Every plan includes scope and monthly reporting.
How much does Google Ads management cost?
Management starts at $1,000/month, separate from ad spend (paid directly to Google). Most B2B clients budget $1,500 to $5,000/month in ad spend depending on industry and goals.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Everything is month-to-month. SEO and AI search take a few months to compound, so clients stay for the results, not because a contract traps them. Pause or stop with 30 days' notice.
Why is a solo consultant cheaper than an agency?
An agency retainer covers rent, account managers, and junior labor before it reaches your campaigns. With me, your budget pays for senior work on your account, not overhead.
