Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted digital marketing agency engagements, most plausibly a monthly retainer and/or ongoing management model for PPC, SEO, Paid Social, Digital PR, CRO, and consultancy. The agency’s own site repeatedly frames services as ongoing campaign management/strategy work and its quote form asks prospects to select a monthly budget, which strongly suggests recurring monthly engagements rather than fixed public packages.
  • Starting price: €1,000 / project
  • Typical range: $100-$149 / hr
  • Billing: Likely monthly retainer/custom monthly budget for ongoing services; project-based quoting is also indicated by third-party directories.

What's included

  • PPC management
  • SEO
  • Paid Social
  • Digital PR
  • CRO
  • Audit / Consultation
  • Strategy / consultancy
  • Shopping ads / feed management

I found no public pricing plans or package tables on Global Search Marketing’s own website. The strongest first-party pricing signal is their quote form, which asks leads to choose a monthly budget band from 'Less than £1,000' up to '£75,000+', indicating they sell via custom monthly-budgeted engagements rather than transparent fixed plans. Concrete figures do exist on third-party directories, but these should be treated as directory/profile data rather than pricing published by Global Search Marketing itself: DesignRush lists a minimal budget of $1,000-$10,000 and an average hourly rate of $149/hr; GoodFirms lists '< $25/hr'; Sortlist lists several services from €1,000/project. These directory figures are inconsistent with each other, so the true commercial pricing appears custom and quote-led.

Process

How Global Search Marketing actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

An engagement with Global Search Marketing (the agency behind globalsearchmarketing.co.uk, now trading as RiseUp Agency) appears to begin with a lead/enquiry and audit-driven assessment, then move into channel-specific strategy development, collaborative campaign execution, and ongoing optimisation with regular communication tailored to the client’s preferred level of involvement.

  1. 1

    Submit requirements and start with an audit

    The process appears to start when a prospect contacts Global Search Marketing through its website and shares service requirements, budget, and company details. Third-party profile data tied to globalsearchmarketing.co.uk also says the agency offers a free SEO or PPC audit at sign-up stage, suggesting early diagnosis before work begins.

  2. 2

    Align on goals, style of working, and channel scope

    Before execution, GSM appears to agree the business objectives and how closely the client wants to be involved. On its own site, the company says it adapts its management style to each client, from detailed technical feedback and direct engagement to lower-touch delivery against ambitious targets; review summaries also describe a partnership-oriented relationship and strong communication.

  3. 3

    Build a channel-specific strategy and recommendations

    After discovery, the team appears to create a tailored strategy across the agreed channels rather than applying a generic package. Evidence from company case-study pages and third-party profile text shows GSM building SEO, PPC, paid social, PR, CRO, and content plans, including items such as onsite optimisation plans, technical SEO plans, outreach/backlink research schedules, and cross-channel strategies designed around client objectives.

  4. 4

    Launch or take over campaigns and implement changes

    GSM then appears to execute the agreed work directly in the relevant channels, either managing campaigns end-to-end or complementing an internal team with specialist consultancy. Case studies describe the agency running paid campaigns, developing SEO and digital PR programmes, and providing specialist consultancy to in-house marketing teams where needed.

  5. 5

    Work collaboratively during delivery and approvals

    During execution, clients seem to experience an engaged, responsive team rather than a one-off handoff. Review evidence already gathered says clients describe the team as responsive and collaborative, while one third-party review page notes a client desire for a single dedicated project manager, implying multiple GSM specialists may be involved; the company’s own management-style page likewise says it adjusts feedback depth and direct engagement to client preference.

  6. 6

    Report performance and keep refining

    The engagement appears to continue as an optimisation loop in which GSM monitors results, fixes issues, and refines campaigns over time. Its own site emphasizes analysis, CRO, and getting stuck straight into fixing underperformance, while review summaries consistently point to practical recommendations, ongoing communication, and strong SEO/PPC outcomes rather than a fixed one-time deliverable.
