Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted monthly retainer for PPC/SEO engagements, with evidence of ongoing management fees and directory-listed hourly/minimum-project bands. Clutch also lists a packaged PPC offering starting monthly, so the public evidence points to retainer-based ongoing engagements rather than pay-per-lead or pay-per-appointment.
  • Starting price: $2,000 / month
  • Typical range: $2,000+ / month
  • Billing: Primarily monthly ongoing management/retainer billing for PPC packages; Clutch and DesignRush also publish directory estimate bands of $100-$149/hr (Clutch) and $100/hr average (DesignRush).
  • Free trial: No free trial published. SCUBE offers a "Game Plan" discovery/review call on its site, but no priced pilot or free trial terms are stated.
  • Guarantee: No pricing guarantee or results guarantee explicitly published on the pages reviewed. The Google Shopping page mentions a 24-hour guaranteed response time, which is a service responsiveness promise, not a performance guarantee.

What's included

  • Google Ads management
  • Google Shopping management
  • Microsoft/Bing Ads
  • SEO
  • Product feed management
  • GTM/analytics & tracking
  • Reporting
  • Strategy and optimization
  • Social advertising in some engagements (e.g. Facebook/Instagram/YouTube per Clutch reviews)

SCUBE’s own website appears to gate pricing behind a contact/discovery process and does not publish dollar fees on the pages reviewed. The clearest public price is from Clutch, which lists "PPC Packages starting at $2,000 /month" for SCUBE Marketing; Clutch also shows a $1,000+ minimum project size and $100-$149/hr average hourly rate, which are directory-supplied profile figures rather than a detailed rate card published on SCUBE’s own site. Verified Clutch review text also mentions real client spend examples, including a $5,000 management-fee invoice alongside $4,800 in ad spend, a $15,000 Google Ads budget, and another client saying they had spent about $65,000 total, which supports an ongoing managed-services pricing model but not a single standardized public package menu.

Process

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

A SCUBE Marketing engagement appears to start with a discovery conversation and diagnostic review of the client’s products, audience, competitors, tracking, and catalog economics, then move into ad/account buildout plus feed and measurement fixes, followed by ongoing optimization and regular review meetings. Customer reviews consistently describe SCUBE as hands-on in setup, careful about analytics/tracking, and structured in how it communicates results back to clients.

  1. 1

    Start with discovery

    SCUBE first learns the business in discovery meetings or calls. Reviewers say the team uses this stage to understand the client, products, customers, competitors, goals, and instructions before proposing the work.

  2. 2

    Diagnose the account, catalog, and tracking

    Before pushing campaigns live or changing them, SCUBE checks how analytics, web tracking, and paid accounts are set up and whether data is flowing correctly. On its site, the company describes this as diagnosing what is actually happening, including catalog behavior, feed quality, and measurement trust.

  3. 3

    Build the advertising plan and campaign structure

    After discovery, SCUBE develops an advertising plan targeting key audiences and creates the relevant campaigns, ads, ad groups, budgets, and keyword structure. Reviews also mention strategies built around lower-risk core Google Ads campaigns and account structure tied to real demand.

  4. 4

    Implement feed, Merchant Center, and measurement fixes

    SCUBE’s delivery is not just ad management: its own service pages say it continuously optimizes product feeds, resolves Merchant Center issues, enriches attributes, and sets up or repairs GA4/GTM/CRM tracking. Customer reviews separately confirm work on phone tracking, analytics implementation, data-flow correction, and automated executive reporting.

  5. 5

    Launch and actively optimize

    Once campaigns and supporting systems are in place, SCUBE manages Google Ads, Shopping, Performance Max, Bing, and sometimes Meta, with ongoing bid management, negative keyword control, segmentation, and daily or regular monitoring. Clients repeatedly describe the team as proactive, responsive, and not 'set it and forget it.'

  6. 6

    Review performance and adjust with the client

    SCUBE appears to run on a recurring communication cadence rather than ad hoc constant contact. Reviews mention bi-weekly updates, monthly review meetings, monthly updates, virtual meetings, and automated or real-time reporting, which the agency uses to explain results and make the next round of adjustments.

Reviews

The strongest review footprint is on Clutch, where the company shows many reviews and a high overall rating; Trustpilot shows a much weaker reputation with only two reviews and a low average, while G2 appears to have a seller/profile listing but no reviews.
