digital marketing is not an expense.
It should be a cost of sales.
Digital marketing MUST pay for itself

Finding pricing online for digital services is near impossible! Pretty much all digital agencies will say they can’t disclose their prices online because: But the truth is, digital agencies don’t like to show pricing because: Yes, digital marketing prices depend on a number of factors but we’d rather try and address those factors than just say it depends. Digital Marketing Costs:
What Do We Charge?
There are two costs that a company incurs when running a digital marketing campaign with us:
Our Service Fee:
Our service fee is charged monthly and depends on the complexity of the product or service which we are marketing and the number of services which we are offering.
Our services are priced as follows:
- Paid Media – R15,000 – R18,000 p/m (Facebook, Instagram, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn)
- SEO – R15,000 – R22,500 p/m
- Conversion Optimization – R15,500 – R22,000 p/m
This covers:
- Us Building the content (Artwork)
- Us building the audiences
- Most importantly, us bringing you sales!
- There are NO setup fees
- There is NO minimum spend required
Media Spend:
This doesn’t come to us but it is a cost which still exists for you. Our approach is usually to start with as low a spend as possible to start and only once we have proved it to be successful do we only then suggest scaling.

FAQ
Pricing Questions, Answered Honestly
What does digital marketing with Syte cost?
Our service fees range from R15,000 to R22,500 per month depending on the service. Paid Media starts at R15,000/month, SEO at R15,000/month, and Conversion Rate Optimisation at R15,500/month. There are no setup fees and no minimum-spend commitments.
Are there setup fees or minimum contracts?
No to both. We do not charge setup fees, there is no minimum media spend required, and we do not lock you into long-term contracts. Our work is month-to-month — we earn the renewal each month.
What’s included in the monthly service fee?
The monthly fee covers content creation (artwork & copy), audience building, ongoing campaign management, optimisation, and reporting. Most importantly, it covers the work needed to actually drive sales — not just impressions and clicks.
How does media spend work?
Media spend is the budget that goes directly to the ad platforms (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok). It is separate from our service fee and does not come to us. We typically recommend starting with a low media spend and scaling only once campaigns prove themselves profitable.
Can I start small and scale up?
Yes — that’s our preferred approach. We start with the smallest spend that gives the campaign a fair chance, prove the unit economics work, then scale media spend (and sometimes services) once the data supports it. Digital marketing should pay for itself before it gets bigger.
Which platforms do you cover?
Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, plus organic SEO, AEO/GEO (AI search optimisation), and CRO. We’ll only recommend the channels where your buyers actually are — not all six just because we can.
Do you work with specialist verticals (iGaming, hospitality, etc.)?
Yes. We have dedicated experience in iGaming/eGaming (Google Ads gambling-certified), hospitality (50+ hotels globally), e-commerce, B2B services, finance, and more. Pricing follows the same structure regardless of vertical — what changes is the strategy, not the rate card.
