Strategy First. Pricing Second.

Pricing follows a strategic discovery. We audit your current performance, model the opportunity, and scope the work required to reach measurable outcomes. The ranges on this page are starting points for the most common engagement shapes. Final pricing reflects your actual scope, channels, capacity, and risk.

SEO and social media compound through ongoing work and require sustained execution to deliver. Web design is delivered as a defined project with a clear handoff. Both models suit their underlying work, and clients can run a project-based engagement (a new website) alongside ongoing retainers (SEO, social, paid).

Social media engagements include a $2,000 one-time setup that covers account setup, asset audit, brand voice calibration, content pipeline configuration, and a 30-day onboarding cycle. SEO and Google Ads engagements roll setup into the first month. Web design is project-based with a deposit structure.

Yes. Most M16 clients combine SEO, social, content, and paid media under a single strategy roadmap. Bundled engagements are scoped to the integrated work, not the sum of individual tiers. Request a custom quote for combined scope.

No. M16 pricing is consistent across every market it serves. Whether you’re based in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington DC, or anywhere else nationally, you’ll see the same starting prices on this page. Pricing scales with scope, complexity, channels, and integrations, never with zip code.

Every M16 SEO engagement tracks brand and topic mentions across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity. The number of AI queries monitored scales with your tier: 25 for Local SEO, 75 for Growth SEO, and 250+ for Enterprise SEO. We measure mention frequency, citation share of voice, and which authority signals are earning citations, then refine content, schema, and structured data to improve coverage. Reporting includes a monthly AI visibility delta alongside traditional keyword rankings, so you see both axes of search performance in one place.

Care plans include hosting as a feature, plus monitoring, updates, backups, and developer hours for ongoing improvements. M16 standalone WordPress hosting covers the infrastructure layer only: performant servers, SSL, basic uptime. Care plans add the operational layer: someone watching the site, applying updates, restoring from backups when needed, and developer hours for small content or feature changes. Most M16 clients move from standalone hosting to a Care plan after the first major incident or when their site becomes business-critical.

Retainer engagements typically run on six-month or twelve-month terms because compounding work needs time to deliver. Project engagements are fixed-scope with milestone payments. Performance-aligned engagements require defined KPI thresholds and reliable attribution before they activate.

No, and no credible agency should. What M16 guarantees is a disciplined process, transparent reporting, defined KPIs, and protection of your existing SEO equity. We set realistic expectations and aim to beat them.

A strategic discovery typically runs two to three weeks. Execution begins on agreed milestones once scope and contract are finalized. Web design projects usually launch six to twelve weeks from discovery completion. SEO and social retainers typically begin within two weeks of signed agreement.

We will tell you directly. Strategy-led work below the starting tier usually compromises either quality, scope, or accountability. If our minimum is not a fit, we will recommend the cleanest path forward, including pointing you to capable alternatives when appropriate.

Every engagement is governed by primary and secondary KPIs with explicit thresholds. Clients receive dashboards focused on spend efficiency and incremental return, with statistical validation of lift before any investment is scaled.

Request a strategic discovery. We audit your current performance, identify the real opportunity window, and outline a prioritized, resource-aware roadmap before any execution begins. From there, scope and pricing follow the evidence.
