How much does a marketing agency cost for a small business?
Small-business agency retainers commonly start around $1,500 a month, before ad spend. At Sundayable each line is priced on its own: Social and Xiaohongshu (RedNote) are $1,000 a month each; Search & GEO and Paid Growth are $2,000 a month each. B2B Sales is $2,000 to set up, then $1,000 a month. Automation is from $1,500 to build, then $500 a month. A booking and payment system can be added to a line for $399 a month. Paid Growth is a flat fee, never a percentage of your ad spend, and taking more than one line earns no bundle discount. A new website is a separate project with its own quote. Every monthly price is public.
What do you actually do each month?
Each line ships a set amount of work every month. Social: 9 pieces of content, a mix of Reels, carousels and graphic posts, with captions and scheduling, and no promise of followers or reach. Search & GEO: 4 search articles and new service pages on the site you already have, your listings kept consistent, and GEO: a site AI assistants can read and quote, checked in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity every month. Xiaohongshu: 6 notes, replies to comments and mentions, and promotions to Chinese-speaking group chats. Paid Growth: ad creative, landing pages and campaigns worked every week. B2B Sales writes 250 emails. Automation builds the thing once and then changes it.
How long does it take to see results?
Ads are the only work that moves a number inside the first month. Search & GEO, on Google and in AI answers, takes about 90 days, and a Xiaohongshu account about three months to build. Before that you see the work: first drafts 1–2 business days after onboarding, then something ships every week, and the first month on Social gives you your brand guideline and posts, and on Search & GEO your market research and your Google Business Profile set up. Automation is usually running in about two weeks. B2B Sales starts sending in month two, after three weeks of domain warmup.
Will anything post or send without my approval?
No. We prepare the work and send it to you, and nothing goes out until you approve it. You approve from your phone, one piece at a time, as each is ready.
What is an AI marketing agency?
An AI marketing agency is a team of marketers who use AI to make the work faster. You hire the team, not a tool. At Sundayable, AI speeds up drafts, research and production; people set the strategy, edit every piece and own your account. Our team edits the reels by hand.
Does Google penalize AI-written content?
Not for being written with AI. Google’s guidance rewards helpful content however it was made, and treats pages mass-produced to game rankings as spam. So every piece starts from your services and the way you already talk about the work, and a person on our team edits it before you see it. If a draft could belong to any business in your category, it doesn’t reach you.
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT and AI search?
Give AI answers what Google already needs: pages that answer your customers’ questions directly, a complete Google Business Profile, and the same name, address and phone everywhere. That work is called GEO (generative engine optimization), or AEO. It sits inside Search & GEO at $2,000 a month, with AI answers checked monthly. There is no separate GEO package; how those facts stay public and consistent is the AI SEO work inside Search & GEO.
Is a marketing agency worth it for a small business?
It is when you know what marketing you need and don’t have the hours to do it every week. A part-time social media manager runs $2,000–$4,000 a month; Social at Sundayable is $1,000. Every line is month to month, so start with one. Cancel before the next billing date and you keep the brand guideline, the posts and the articles we made.
How much does a social media manager cost for a small business?
Budget $2,000–$4,000 a month for a part-time social media manager, or about $5,300 for a full-time hire once payroll is counted. Agency retainers start around $1,500. Social is $1,000 a month: 9 pieces of content, a mix of Reels, carousels, and graphic posts, with captions and scheduling, each sent for your approval as it’s ready. We don’t promise followers or reach. SEO is a separate line, Search & GEO, at $2,000 a month.
Do you build websites?
Yes, as a separate project. A new website or a rebuild is planned, written and designed by people on our marketing team, and we quote it after a call, before any work starts. It isn’t part of any monthly line; Search & GEO at $2,000 a month works on the site you already have. How a website build works.
Is there a contract?
No long contracts — everything runs month to month. Paid Growth has no setup fee. B2B Sales has a $2,000 setup because the sending domain has to warm for three weeks before a single email goes out, and Automation is from $1,500 to build before it becomes $500 a month. Cancel before the next billing date, and you keep whatever we already made.
Which line should I start with?
Whichever problem is loudest. If nothing has gone out in months, that is Social. If customers can’t find you when they search, that is Search & GEO. If you need the phone to ring this month, that is Paid Growth. Ads are the only work that moves a number inside thirty days. If your staff are retyping between tabs, that is Automation. On the free consultation we say which one, and we say when you only need one.
Do I have to take every line?
No. Most businesses take one. They are priced separately on purpose, and taking more than one earns no discount — we would rather you took only what you need than bought a bundle for the shape of it.
Is the ad budget included in Paid Growth?
No. The $2,000 is what we charge to run the ads. The budget itself goes to each platform from your own account, and it stays yours. That fee covers up to $10,000 a month in spend, and below about $1,000 a month a campaign never gathers enough data to learn, so that is where we start.
Will you guarantee leads or a map position?
No. We show the work each week. Search uses about a 90-day planning horizon.
Can I see something before I commit?
Ask through the site chat for a free visibility check. We look at what your site ranks for today, how your Google Business Profile compares with the businesses you share a map with, and whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name you when someone asks for your service in your city — then we send the three things we would fix first, in order. Two business days, no call, and no obligation to do any of it with us.
Does Search & GEO include Google Business Profile?
Yes. It is set up in the first month, and your listings are kept consistent after that: the same name, address and phone everywhere. Review replies aren’t in any line; we take them on only when you ask, and you approve every public reply.
How much graphic design is included?
Designed posts are part of Social ($1,000 a month): 9 pieces of content a month, a mix of Reels, carousels, and graphic posts, made by our team from a brand guideline set in the first month — fonts, colours and photo tone. New service pages on your current site come with Search & GEO ($2,000 a month); designing a whole new website is a separate project, quoted after a call. Print design, such as brochures, menus and posters, isn’t in any line.
Do you work with startups?
Yes, early-stage ones. We run the go-to-market with the same lines — social, search, ads, outbound and automation — at the same prices, and we say on the call which one to start with.
Do I need any technical skill?
No. You approve from your phone. We handle the rest.
Should we run ads before the page matches the keyword?
No. A thin Services page wastes the click. Search & GEO can add the service page to your site; Paid Growth runs the campaign. Ad spend stays in your account.
