How much does M16 Marketing® cost? Here is everything we could verify about M16 Marketing®'s pricing model, what's included, and the terms — with the sources each figure was traced from.
Pricing model:Hybrid custom-pricing model: project-based for web design/development, monthly retainers for SEO/social/website care, percentage-of-ad-spend management fees for Google Ads, plus a standalone monthly/yearly WordPress hosting plan. M16 explicitly says ongoing work defaults to a retainer model, while one-time builds/migrations/audits are project-based.
Starting price:$30/mo
Typical range:$30/mo–$350,000+ per project
Billing:Mixed billing depending on service: monthly retainer for SEO, social media, and website care; fixed-scope project pricing for web design; Google Ads billed as a monthly management fee based on ad spend (10%–30% with a $900/month minimum below $3,000 spend); hosting billed monthly or yearly.
Contract terms:M16 says there is no long-term contract for digital marketing services and that it earns business month to month. Web design uses a deposit structure, and final pricing is scoped after discovery.
Free trial:Free audit / consultation is offered on service pages; nonprofit playbook says exact scope is finalized during a 30-minute audit call. No formal free trial was found.
Web design projects include discovery, project plan, schedule, deliverables, SEO audits, competitive analysis, theme design, CTA design, stock image sourcing, plugin/forms/header setup, custom coding, database integration, content/multimedia, on-page SEO, analytics setup, social integration, device/browser optimization, redirects, domain configuration, launch, and GA4 integration.
SEO engagements include local SEO audit and strategy, Google Business Profile optimization, citation building/NAP cleanup, local on-page and content SEO, review/reputation workflows, rank tracking, monthly reporting, and in higher tiers technical SEO, content production, link building/digital PR, AEO/structured data, and attribution.
Social media engagements include strategy and content calendar, custom content production, community management, monthly reporting, and in higher tiers organic + paid social, short-form video, LinkedIn thought leadership, lead tracking/attribution, and dedicated strategist/team.
Google Ads management includes campaign architecture, audience targeting, keyword research, creative testing, conversion tracking, weekly performance insights, and monthly strategic reviews.
Website care plans include hosting, SSL, backups, plugin/theme updates, monitoring, security scans, response SLAs, and higher-tier audits/account management.
M16 now publishes unusually detailed first-party pricing on its own pricing page. The lowest directly purchasable entry price I found is WordPress hosting at $30/month ($300/year), while core agency services start higher: website care from $300/month, social from $2,000/month, SEO from $2,400/month, Google Ads management from a $900/month minimum fee, and web design projects from $16,200. Third-party directory data broadly corroborates a premium positioning but is inconsistent on exact minimums: Clutch lists $10,000+ minimum project size and $150–$199/hour, while ITProfiles lists < $5,000 minimum and the same hourly band; treat those directory figures as third-party estimates/metadata, not official M16 price cards.
