Hayes Digital Marketing Services Pricing FAQ

Quick answer: Usually $350... not too bad.

Longer answer:  It depends. If all goes as planned we can setup and optimize your Google Business Profile page in a few hours of work.

The $350 includes complete setup from claiming ownership, writing optimized descriptions, adding the best service choices, editing and uploading image assets, adding all pertinent information and finally... helping you with best practices to take full advantage of it long term to keep it highly visible.

If there's an address issue or odd outlying issue regarding the account then it can get more complicated and if so we charge $100 for each additional hour.  We've yet to come across an unsolvable issue and we've yet to charge over $500 to correct problematic profile accounts.

The good news is we don't like cost surprises anymore than you so you'll know if it's more than a basic setup as soon as we do. We don't want to spend your money unwisely, we're here to be a big money-maker for your business, not an expense.

Quick answer: There's a big range of needs but a nice professional website for a service-based business starts as low as $1000 and then $85 a month for hosting and maintenance. It's easy to spend $1500-$3000 and jump to $5000+ for more complex membership and e-commerce sites.

Longer answer:  A real big... it depends. A clean professional and most importantly effective website for many local service based business can be done with 1 to 3 pages (for instance Home, About, Contact pages).

An average range for service based businesses is $1500-$2500 depending on complexity.  We're on the more reasonable side of the price range for web design because we aim for clean, effective, fast running sites instead of flash and glitz.

It's not hard to jump into the $3000-$5000 for more complex sites and e-commerce sites.  Bigger e-commerce and membership sites go past $5000+

Quick Answer:  Our "SEO Blast Program" is a short term cost-effective service and provides a quick jump start.  We dive in and handle the quick, obvious missing necessities that have the biggest effect on site rank.  We can complete this in a few days and improved results can often be seen in less than 3 weeks.

BUT... This one is a 2 parter.

     There is no real quick answer:

Get found in your local area (Local SEO):

If you are brick and mortar or service based business with a specific City, State or Region you work in... We want your site optimized to be found in your service area. 

If we built your website, your core on-site SEO is already in place.

If we didn't build your site, we can check it for possible improvements.

We can determine the ballpark time involved at that point.

Next, we'll need to get to work on your off-site SEO...

We need to optimize your Google Business Profile and

we'll need local area backlinks to your site as well on local directories and various other sites.

These all take time to do... keyword research, find opportunities and implement.

We do this local SEO work for $150 an hour.

We like to do our SEO Blast first to knock out the easier, obvious necessities. That can often make a major difference, and ranking improvements start being noticed within weeks.

If it's in the budget (and if it's needed) we then plan on a monthly improvement analysis and work other opportunities. We can implement this in whatever time frame and/or monthly budget fits you best.

Get found in your nationally:

We LOVE taking local manufacturers, suppliers, and creators to the national or worldwide stage.

But... there's no easy to way to give a blanket cost estimate other than the dreaded... it depends.

It depends on the business, the industry, the market. If you've researched these campaigns you'll hear $50,000 thrown around like it's a small budget.

It can be a BIG project for sure but we're not in a 50 story building with venture capitalist money.

We can find the opportunities and we'd love to help small to mid-sized manufacturer compete with the biggest players...

Todd here chiming in personally...

...when I took our little equipment dealership to national top 3 status I spent 100's of ours implementing all kinds of crazy guerilla tactics.  Some worked amazingly... some were time wasters.  It was ALL WORTH IT.

It was a huge success and an even bigger learning experience.

It was such a great experience that when we launched a new generator accessory product, I was able to establish a reselling dealer network covering the U.S., Canada and as far away as Australia.

I was able to do that in less than 6 months...

...and now there there are even more options to add-in (and more techniques I've learned) to speed up the process.

I'd be extra excited to talk to you about helping your business get the same results.

This is FUN STUFF!
