What does marketing cost for your trade?
Marketing has no single price across the trades, so this page routes by trade first. Each page covers the range companies in that trade actually pay, what is inside the number, what is usually excluded, and the order in which spending tends to pay back.
These are observed patterns rather than quotes — your own number comes from a baseline.
How do agencies price this work, and how do you read a proposal?
Agencies bill by retainer, project, hour, lead or performance, and the model changes what the agency is rewarded for. Ten guides covering what things cost, how agencies price them, and how to read a proposal before you sign it.
How much of revenue should go to marketing?
This asks what share of your own revenue the whole marketing line should take, before any vendor is chosen. Separate from what an agency charges: the percentage-of-revenue question, with sourced benchmarks by company size.
The figures and the publishers who put them out stay on the benchmark page itself, so no number is restated here away from its source.
What does Mindflow charge?
Mindflow Marketing’s own rates sit on the pricing page rather than behind a quote call, and the entry point is the free Visibility Check. Published rather than quoted, so you can disqualify us in thirty seconds if the number is wrong for you.
The measurement protocol behind those numbers is published in full on the methodology page.
Rankings are never guaranteed. Anything we could not trace to a primary source is absent from this page, not estimated. The audit runs the same six layers described on the pricing page, and Share of Answer is scored quarterly.
What do owners ask about cost and about these guides?
Three questions come up more than any others: why the pages give ranges instead of a single price, whether the numbers are Mindflow’s own or the market’s, and whether cheaper marketing is automatically worse. Each is answered below in the same terms the guide pages use.
Why do these pages give ranges instead of a price?
Because the honest answer varies with locations, competitive intensity and the current state of your site and listings. The pages say which of those factors moves the number, so a range is informative rather than evasive.
Are these your prices or market prices?
The trade pages describe observed market patterns. Our own prices are on /pricing/ and are published in full.
Is cheaper marketing worse?
Not automatically. Below roughly $1,500 a month the work is necessarily templated, and that is a real trade rather than a scandal. We say where we are not the right answer.
