Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing — Your Questions Answered

Transparent answers about what you pay, what's included, and how we compare.

How much does digital marketing cost for a small business? +

Digital marketing costs for small businesses typically range from GBP 390 to GBP 3,900 per month depending on services. At BlackCarrot, SEO starts at GBP 599/month, Google Ads management at GBP 299/month, and website creation at GBP 999 one-time. All pricing is transparent and published on our website — no hidden fees, no surprise invoices, and no long-term contracts required.

What percentage of revenue should a small business spend on marketing? +

The U.S. Small Business Administration recommends 7-8% of gross revenue for marketing if your revenue is under GBP 4.2 million. B2B companies typically spend 2-5% of revenue, while B2C companies spend 5-10%. For new businesses or those in competitive markets, 12-20% may be needed initially to establish market presence. The right number depends on your growth goals, industry, and competitive landscape.

How much does it cost to hire a digital marketing agency? +

Most digital marketing agencies charge between GBP 780 and GBP 7,800 per month for small business clients. Enterprise agencies charge GBP 7,800-39,000+. BlackCarrot is positioned in the affordable tier for SMBs — starting at GBP 299 per month for individual services. We keep costs low by using AI-powered tools and lean operations, passing the savings to clients instead of building large overhead.

Is it cheaper to do digital marketing in-house or hire an agency? +

Hiring a full-time digital marketer costs GBP 39,000-63,000 per year in salary alone, plus tools (GBP 159-780/month), training, and management time. An agency like BlackCarrot provides a full team — SEO specialist, ad manager, web developer — for a fraction of that cost. For most small businesses, an agency is more cost-effective until you're large enough to justify a dedicated in-house team.

SEO packages include technical audits, on-page optimization, local citations, and Google Business Profile management.

Website packages include responsive design, SEO setup, contact forms, and speed optimization. All pricing is published with no hidden costs.
