Honest pricing for Northern Beaches small businesses

Small business digital marketing on the Northern Beaches typically costs between $300 and $2,500 per month depending on which services you need. A one-off Google Business Profile setup is $300 to $500. Facebook and Instagram ad management runs $500 to $1,000 per month plus your ad spend paid directly to Meta. Website design and build starts at $500 (founding-client rate, standard $1,500 to $2,500). SEO and Content retainer is $400 to $800 per month. The all-in-one Monthly Growth Retainer covering ads, SEO, Google Business, and reviews starts at $800 per month.

No lock-in contracts on anything. All monthly retainers are month-to-month with 14 days written cancellation notice. We earn your business every month, not because a contract says you have to stay. One-off services (website builds, GBP setup, review system) are exactly that, one-off, with no ongoing commitment.

No. Ad spend is paid directly by you to Meta or Google, separate from the management fee. This keeps things transparent, you control your own budget, and you can verify every dollar spent. Typical ad spend recommendation for Northern Beaches trades is $300 to $1,000 per month depending on your service area and how many leads you want.

Really $500, no catch. Standard build rate is $1,500 to $2,500. The founding-client rate is held open while Golden Marketing is under ten paying clients, as a way to build the portfolio. Once we hit ten clients the rate goes back to standard for new builds. Existing founding-rate clients keep their rate locked in. No upsells, no surprise fees, no per-page charges.

No annual contracts. Monthly retainers are paid in advance on Net 7 terms, one month at a time. One-off projects (websites, GBP setup) are typically paid 50 percent on start, 50 percent on launch. No annual commitments, no upfront yearly payments. If you decide we are not the right fit, give 14 days notice and we part on good terms.

Yes. The Monthly Growth Retainer at $800 to $1,500 per month bundles Facebook and Instagram ads management, Google Business profile management, monthly SEO and content, review management, and reporting into a single plan. Buying those services individually would cost noticeably more. Most retainer clients also get the Review System Setup ($250 standalone) included free as a module.

All prices on this page exclude GST. Golden Marketing is not GST-registered (under the $75,000 threshold), so we do not charge GST on invoices. The price you see is the price you pay.
