Elevato

• Pricing model: Custom quote engagements, most likely a mix of per-project work and ongoing monthly retainer work, with hourly-based pricing benchmarks on directories.
• Starting price: $1,000+ project minimum
• Typical range: $150-$199/hr
• Billing: Custom quote; evidence supports hourly-based pricing benchmarks plus project-based engagements, and likely ongoing monthly retainers for marketing services.

Elevato’s own website appears to gate pricing behind consultation/custom planning rather than publishing packages or fixed plans. Reputable third-party directories consistently show a $1,000+ minimum project size and hourly rate bands of $150-$199/hr, with one vetted profile listing a specific $175 hourly rate; these directory figures are estimates/listing data, not necessarily fixed prices published by Elevato itself. The agency’s site language strongly suggests customized scopes for each client rather than standardized package pricing.

Elevato engagements appear to start with business-goal scoping and channel/account audits, then move into buildout of campaigns/assets and ongoing management. In practice, clients most often describe a collaborative operating rhythm with an account manager, Slack/email, weekly calls, dashboards, and recurring reports, though some reviews also report slow delivery and missed follow-through.

1. 1

   Define scope and business goals

   The engagement begins by clarifying what the client wants Elevato to accomplish and aligning on strategy. Review evidence says clients should come in with a clear scope and goals, and Elevato’s own PPC process says it starts with an initial consultation to understand objectives, audience, offerings, and budget.

2. 2

   Audit accounts, audience, and opportunities

   After kickoff, Elevato examines the current marketing setup and market context before making changes. On its paid media pages, Elevato describes account, audience, demographic, spend/bid, creative, and growth-opportunity analysis; reviews also mention SEO audits, keyword research, and attribution/tracking setup as early work.

3. 3

   Build campaigns and core assets

   Next, Elevato creates or rebuilds the working marketing assets needed to execute: ad campaigns, landing pages, website updates, content, and tracking. Clients describe Elevato setting up PPC across platforms, creating copy and design, building landing pages with attribution tracking, and in some cases developing or optimizing websites from scratch.

4. 4

   Launch and implement with client input

   Once assets are ready, Elevato launches campaigns and begins monthly implementation work. Reviews indicate this can include ongoing SEO implementation, on-page optimization, link building, content creation, and paid media launch; approval appears to matter, with one review dispute specifically referencing a pre-launch meeting and later adjustments to the agency’s creative approval process.

5. 5

   Communicate continuously through an account-led cadence

   During execution, clients typically work through an account manager supported by subject-matter specialists. Multiple reviews describe Slack channels, email or messaging, virtual meetings, weekly conference or Zoom calls, and project-management visibility through Teamwork or a real-time dashboard.

6. 6

   Report, review, and optimize

   Elevato then manages performance as an ongoing optimization loop rather than a one-time delivery. Clients report frequent feedback plus weekly and monthly reports, while Elevato’s own pages describe reporting and analytics, transparent reporting, and continuous optimization based on performance data, market changes, and competitor analysis.
