Pricing

  • Pricing model: Hybrid custom-quote agency pricing with multiple published structures: (1) hourly billing at $100/hr on Canesta's own site terms, (2) fixed-price website / e-commerce project packages published on Clutch, and (3) monthly SEO retainer packages published on Clutch. In practice, Canesta appears to sell mostly custom-scoped engagements rather than a single universal price sheet.
  • Starting price: $100/hr
  • Typical range: $1,500-$5,000 / month
  • Billing: Hourly on the agency's terms page; also published as fixed-price per project for website builds ($5,000/$10,000/$25,000 total) and monthly retainer for SEO ($1,500/$3,000/$5,000 per month). Custom quotes are encouraged for scoped engagements.

What's included

  • Research and planning aligned to business goals
  • Website design and development
  • E-commerce store design / build
  • Information architecture
  • Desktop and mobile design prototypes / mockups
  • Quality assurance
  • Data migration
  • Third-party integrations
  • SEO
  • PPC / Google Ads
  • Social media marketing
  • Email marketing / Klaviyo services
  • Monthly reporting
  • Keyword research
  • Landing page creation
  • Competition analysis
  • Google Search Console warning fixes
  • Monthly meetings
  • Backlink building

Concrete pricing is publicly available. On Canesta's own website, the Terms & Conditions page states: 'Labor is calculated on a per hour basis. Canesta hourly rate is $100 per hour.' Separately, Clutch publishes package pricing for this exact agency/domain: SEO retainers at $1,500, $3,000, and $5,000 per month, plus website/e-commerce projects at $5,000, $10,000, and $25,000 total. DesignRush and MarketingMonk also reinforce that Canesta commonly works on custom-scoped engagements; however, their budget bands/minimums should be treated as directory data rather than first-party pricing.

Process

How Canesta actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

Canesta engagements appear to start with research and strategy definition, move into design/development or campaign buildout, and then continue with active promotion, optimization, and reporting. Across Clutch and Trustpilot, clients consistently describe a communicative, timely, collaborative delivery style with regular updates and ongoing support rather than a one-off handoff.

  1. 1

    Define goals and assess the brand

    Canesta first works to understand the client’s business, brand, and needs, then researches and defines a plan. Their own site describes this as researching, analyzing, and defining a path to business goals, and review aggregations note projects often require a detailed understanding of the client’s branding, art, and messaging.

  2. 2

    Set the strategy and architecture

    After discovery, they shape the underlying strategy: brand strategy, SEO and keyword strategy, and customer-path planning. Third-party write-ups and Canesta service pages indicate they integrate SEO into site architecture, collection structures, content systems, and lead-generation structure rather than treating it as a later add-on.

  3. 3

    Design and build the experience

    Canesta then creates or revises the website, store, UX, and supporting assets to match the strategy. Clients describe them building company websites, redesigning sites, handling packaging or branding elements, and making rounds of website changes to improve UX and update themes.

  4. 4

    Collaborate through revisions and active project management

    During execution, delivery is hands-on and iterative: Clutch reviews mention various rounds of changes, daily communication in at least one project, project meetings for larger-scope work, and use of Active Collab, email, messaging apps, and online meetings. Review summaries repeatedly emphasize timely delivery, responsiveness, transparency, and regular updates that keep clients in the loop.

  5. 5

    Launch campaigns and supporting growth systems

    Once the foundation is in place, Canesta promotes the brand through channels such as SEO, PPC, advertising campaigns, and email nurturing. Their site says the final stage is to promote the brand, convert prospects into paying customers, and report on engagement and conversions; related service pages describe combining design/development with SEO, PPC, lead magnets, CTAs, and nurture workflows.

  6. 6

    Optimize, report, and support ongoing growth

    After launch, the engagement continues with monitoring, analysis, fixes, and iterative improvement. Evidence from reviews and service pages shows Canesta provides regular updates, transparent reporting, campaign analysis, ongoing website issue resolution, and continued optimization aimed at traffic, conversions, sales, and longer-term partnership.

Reviews

Canesta has a clearly identifiable third-party review presence on Clutch, Trustpilot, and G2, but I could not reliably confirm a profile for this specific company on Google, Capterra, or BBB from searchable results. Where review text was actually visible, the sentiment was strongly positive overall, with praise centering on communication, speed, professionalism, and quality of work; visible criticism was limited.
