Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted digital marketing engagements, primarily monthly retainer/ongoing service relationships, with hourly-rate positioning on directories and some project-based work. Evidence points most strongly to ongoing monthly SEO/PPC/digital marketing retainers rather than pay-per-lead or pay-per-appointment pricing.
  • Starting price: $5,000+ project minimum
  • Typical range: $100-$149 / hr
  • Billing: Primarily ongoing monthly retainer engagements for SEO/PPC/digital marketing; directories also list an hourly rate band. Clutch review evidence shows at least one client paying about $4,500 per month.
  • Contract terms: Not clearly published. Multiple reviews describe ongoing engagements lasting months or years, but no fixed minimum term was stated on the pages reviewed.

What's included

  • SEO
  • PPC / paid search management
  • Lead generation
  • Brand awareness campaigns
  • Web analytics / GA / GTM / Looker Studio reporting
  • Keyword strategy
  • Content creation / optimization
  • Landing pages / microsites
  • Social media support
  • Website maintenance / technical SEO

RSO Consulting's own site appears to use custom estimates/quotes rather than publishing package prices. The strongest concrete pricing data comes from Clutch, which lists RSO Consulting at a $5,000+ minimum project size and $100-$149/hr average hourly rate, while Clutch's review summary says client engagements have ranged from $1,750 to $1,000,000. Client review text on Clutch also shows a real monthly spend example of about $4,500/month and another long-running client describing a 'relatively low monthly fee'; these are client-reported spends, not a standardized public rate card published by RSO itself.

Process

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

RSO Consulting engagements appear to run as an ongoing, data-driven marketing management program rather than a one-time handoff: clients describe RSO taking over or refining PPC/SEO/analytics work, setting recurring meetings, tracking action items, and delivering regular updates and reports while continuously adjusting strategy. Across reviews and the company site, the work centers on auditing channels and tracking, building strategy and content/keyword plans, executing campaigns, and then reviewing performance in recurring cadences.

  1. 1

    Define goals and channel scope

    Engagements begin with the client hiring RSO Consulting for specific objectives such as lead generation, SEO, brand awareness, paid media, or analytics support. Review evidence shows scopes are defined around services like PPC campaign management, SEO, Google Ad Grants, content creation, and attribution/analytics work.

  2. 2

    Audit the account and shape the strategy

    RSO then analyzes the client’s existing marketing setup and builds or refines the operating strategy. Clients describe RSO helping solidify paid-media strategy and attribution models, while the company site says its work includes site audits, keyword research and mapping, audience and landing-page analysis, and conversion/attribution modeling.

  3. 3

    Launch or optimize campaigns and content

    After strategy is set, RSO executes the work directly across the agreed channels. Evidence shows them managing PPC and Google Ads/Ad Grants, handling SEO, creating content, refining brand positioning, and supporting web or landing-page-related improvements.

  4. 4

    Run recurring review meetings and manage action items

    Delivery appears to be organized through a steady operating cadence rather than sporadic check-ins. Clients report fortnightly or biweekly meetings to review action items, overdue tasks, campaign plans, and critical information, with RSO keeping lists of action items and following up quickly.

  5. 5

    Communicate in shared working tools

    Day-to-day collaboration is handled through lightweight shared tools and ad hoc discussions. Reviews specifically mention Slack, email, Google Meet, Google Data Studio, Google documents/analytics, and occasional additional meetings when strategy changes or new requests come up.

  6. 6

    Report results and refine based on performance

    RSO provides regular updates, campaign recaps, and data reports, then adjusts tactics based on what the numbers show. Clients mention monthly deliverables, filterable data reports, detailed campaign recaps, proactive issue resolution, and strategy refinements driven by performance insights.

Reviews

RSO Consulting has a visible third-party review presence on Clutch and a business listing on G2 and BBB, but I could not verify listings for Trustpilot, Google, or Capterra from search results. The strongest evidence of customer review reputation is on Clutch, where the company shows a high average rating and substantial review volume; however, I could not reliably read enough individual review text across platforms to extract many direct review excerpts without risking fabrication.

    0 reviews

    G2 search results show RSO Consulting as a service provider entry, but the snippets available indicate "0 ratings" and do not expose readable customer review text. I therefore treated it as listed, but with no visible review content to analyze.
