How much does a marketing consultant cost
Pay for the smallest format that fixes the one problem you have today. Price only makes sense after you know what you leave with. A call with Blake is $499 for 50 minutes on Google Meet, and you leave with the rewrite in a doc. Agencies and freelancers bill by month, project or hour, so get the price in writing.

How to judge the price
- Name the one problemA homepage that does not convert is a different cost than a channel you want run every month.
- Ask what you leave withA rewritten page in a doc, finished copy, or a running campaign. Advice you still have to write costs you twice.
- Match the format to the size of the problemOne session rewrites one page or plan. Ongoing words fit a freelancer. A channel run every month fits an agency.
- Get the price and the term in writingA call with Blake is $499 for 50 minutes. For everyone else, ask for the number, what is included and when it ends.
- Send the page or brief before you payShare the link, who it is for and the one action you want. Then the hour starts on the work.
- Skip guarantees of leads or revenueBetter copy helps. The product and the traffic still decide results.
What each format usually costs
| Format | How they usually charge | You leave with | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Working call | A flat fee for one session. Blake's call is $499 for 50 minutes on Google Meet | The new version written in a doc the same day | A call that ends in advice and no copy |
| Freelance copywriter | By the project, by the page or by the hour | Finished copy on a schedule | Copy written before the positioning is clear |
| Marketing agency | By the month on a retainer | Campaigns that keep running | A long retainer when you only need one fix |
| Fractional CMO | By the month for part time leadership | A plan and someone who owns it | Paying for a leader when you need one page fixed |

How much does a marketing consultant cost
It depends on the format. A call with Blake is $499 for 50 minutes on Google Meet, and you leave with the new version written in a doc. Freelancers and agencies usually bill by the project or the month. Ask for the price and the term in writing.
Is $499 a fair price for a working call
For one stuck page or launch plan, yes, when you leave with the rewrite in a doc. Compare that to a month of agency time you do not need yet.
How much does a marketing agency cost

Most bill by the project, the page or the hour. Get a written quote for the exact work before you start.
When is one call enough
When the problem fits in one session: a homepage headline, a pricing page, a launch week plan or a cold email. If you want someone to write every week or run ads every month, pick a freelancer or an agency.
