Wondering what a marketing consultant costs? Instead of a price list, your quote reflects these six things, so you never pay for work you don't need.
How many areas you need advice on, and how deep each audit, strategy and review needs to go.
Ranking or advertising in a crowded industry takes more effort than in a niche one.
A site with technical issues or no tracking needs more groundwork than one that's ready to scale.
A one-off strategy, ongoing advisory or hands-on guidance alongside your team: you choose.
Local campaigns are scoped differently from national or international ones.
Aggressive growth targets or tight launch dates need more resource up front.
Marketing consultant pricing depends on how you work together. Here's how the common pricing models compare with hiring a marketing agency or an in-house team, so you can choose the right fit before you request a quote.
| Pricing model | How it's priced | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly consulting | Billed per hour of advice | Quick questions and one-off reviews | Costs are hard to predict for bigger projects |
| Project (Strategy Sprint) | One quote for a fixed scope | A marketing audit and plan your team can run | You still need people to do the work |
| Monthly advisory retainer | A monthly fee for ongoing senior advice | Guiding a team or agency month after month | Agree clear goals and reviews up front |
| Fractional CMO | Part-time leadership, a set number of days | Scale-ups without a marketing head | Make sure decision-making authority is clear |
| Full-service agency retainer | A monthly fee covering advice and execution | Businesses that want everything done for them | Often higher minimums and 6–12 month contracts |
| In-house marketing hire | Salary, benefits, tools and training | Constant, high-volume marketing needs | Slow to hire, and one person rarely covers every channel |
We don't publish fixed marketing packages because every business needs a different mix. For typical market prices for SEO, PPC, social media and consultants, read our digital marketing cost guide, or build your custom consulting plan for a tailored quote.

Book a free callThere is no one-size-fits-all price. The cost depends on the channels you need, how competitive your market is, your starting point and how hands-on you want your consultant to be. We build a custom plan for every client and send a tailored quote after a free audit. For general market ranges, see our digital marketing cost guide.
Every business is different. Fixed packages make you pay for things you don't need or leave out things you do. A custom plan means you only pay for the advice and support that will move your business forward.
No. Ad spend is paid directly to Google, Meta or LinkedIn from your own accounts, so you keep full ownership and transparency. Our quote covers consulting time: audits, strategy, guidance and reviews.
No. After a short onboarding period, ongoing advisory runs month to month. We earn your business every month through results.
We reply within one business day to book a free call, then send your tailored plan and quote shortly after, with expected results and timelines.
Usually, because you pay for senior strategy and guidance rather than for the hours needed to produce and run every campaign. If you already have a team or agency doing the work, a consultant is often the most cost-effective way to improve results.
There's no universal rate, so here is what actually drives the price, how consulting compares with the alternatives and how we quote in your currency.
What drives the price
Three things set the cost: how much needs reviewing (one channel or the whole funnel), how senior the advice is, and how involved you want us to be, from a one-off audit to weekly guidance. Business size and market competition also play a part. Read how much digital marketing costs for budget ranges by channel.
Compare
A consultant costs less than a full-service agency because you aren't paying for production or media management, and much less than a senior full-time hire once salary, benefits and recruitment are counted. The trade-off is that someone still has to implement. See the full comparison in how we work.
