New York buyer context

What a small business should get for the money

A small budget buys attention, not headcount. The question is who actually touches the account each month and whether the scope survives a quiet quarter.

Fit
  • Names the person doing the work, not only the account manager.
  • Scopes to a budget you can hold for a year without a long lock-in.
  • Reports in calls, leads and bookings, in language you use.
Proof
  • Show results for a business of my size, not for your biggest client.
  • What exactly happens in month one, and what do I have to do?
  • What do I keep (pages, profile, data) if we stop?
Budget
  • Ranked here and disclosing a monthly minimum: 1, from $2.5K to $2.5K.
  • Middle of that range: about $2.5K a month.
