Real prices. Published, not pried out of us.

Because it aligns the agency with spending your money, not making you money. If we take 15% of spend, we're rewarded every time we talk you into a bigger budget — even when the smarter move is to cut it. A flat fee removes that conflict: our incentive is your result. We also never mark up your media; it's paid directly to the platform and shown to the cent in Aphra.

Most retainers start with a short initial term (typically 3 months) so the work has time to land and prove itself, then roll month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Builds are project-based with a fixed scope and milestones. No multi-year lock-ins, and no penalty for leaving — you keep everything on the way out.

Yes — that's the norm. Plenty of clients start with a single channel (say SEO or PPC), see the work in Aphra, and add disciplines once they trust the process. Because everything runs on one portal with one senior team, expanding is seamless and usually more cost-effective than the sum of the parts.

No — and that's a good thing. Management fees and media budget are separate line items. Your ad spend goes straight to Google, Meta, Amazon, or LinkedIn in your own accounts, and we never take a cut of it. You set the budget, you own the accounts, and you see every dollar in the portal.

For some paid and ecommerce work we'll do a hybrid — a flat base plus a share tied to a real efficiency milestone (like falling cost-per-acquisition or TACoS). We won't do pure "pay only for results," because it incentivizes short-term tricks over durable growth, and no honest agency fully controls your close rate or margins.

Builds are one-time projects, scoped after we understand your page count, integrations, content readiness, and how much organic value is at risk in a migration. We share a fixed scope and a real estimate before you commit — no open-ended hourly billing — and code and hosting are in your name from day one.

A single focused channel, or a one-time audit. The AI Brand Visibility Audit and the smaller monitoring retainers are low-commitment entry points that produce a concrete deliverable and a plan. From there you can scale into a fuller program only if the results justify it.

They're honest starting floors, not ceilings or exact quotes. Your real number depends on the factors above — competition, scale, content volume, pace, and whether we run paid media. We scope it transparently with you and put the number in writing before anything begins. No surprise invoices.
