A Seattle marketing agency for businesses that aren’t software.
Sundayable runs marketing for Seattle small businesses, $1,000 CAD a month. Every agency here is built for SaaS retainers. A clinic, a studio or a contractor is nobody’s target account in this city.
Search takes about 90 days to move. You see what shipped every week before that.
Marketing agencies in Seattle mostly serve technology companies, and their pricing follows: retainers commonly start around $3,000 a month. Sundayable is a done-for-you service for the other businesses in the city — clinics, salons, studios, trades — at $1,000 CAD a month, month to month, with ad spend separate. Seattle is also the most expensive of the four US metros we measured to buy an agency click in, at $12.18.
What does it cost to reach a business owner in Seattle?
Monthly searches for “marketing agency” plus the city name, the going Google Ads rate and how contested the auction is. Pulled from Google Ads in August 2026.
| Metro | Searches / month | Cost per click | Ad competition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle | 590 | $12.18 | 49 / 100 |
| Los Angeles | 1,300 | $10.12 | 49 / 100 |
| Chicago | 1,600 | $9.15 | 58 / 100 |
| San Diego | 1,900 | $7.81 | 34 / 100 |
Seattle has the smallest search volume of the four and the highest price per click. That is what a market looks like when the agencies in it are bidding for enterprise software accounts rather than for the dentist on 15th Ave. It also means the businesses those agencies ignore are competing against far less than the numbers suggest.
Why doesn’t a Seattle agency want a small local account?
Because the economics point elsewhere. A software client signs a twelve-month retainer with a demand-generation budget attached. A clinic signs for a few hundred a month and asks whether the posts are working. Both are reasonable businesses; only one pays for an account team.
So local service businesses here end up with either a freelancer who posts, or nothing. The middle — a team that makes the work every week and does not need managing — is the thing this city is short of.
Seattle also behaves like several towns rather than one. Ballard, Capitol Hill, the Eastside and West Seattle each have their own search results, and a page that says “serving the greater Seattle area” competes in none of them.
What do we actually run here?
The profile, kept alive
Every service listed separately, hours right before a long weekend, photos on a schedule, and a post each week. This is the free channel that sits directly above the $12.18 ad.
A page per neighbourhood you serve
Written so a person in Ballard recognises it — the parking, the cross street, the buses. Not the same page with the name swapped, because Google names city lists as a spam pattern and it deserves to.
Reviews arriving on a schedule
Requests after each job through a link your front desk can text, and a reply drafted for every review, including the difficult ones.
Content that does not need a shoot
Made from what already happens at your business, cut by our team, and sent to your phone. Nothing publishes without your yes.
What does it cost, and where are you?
Organic Growth is $1,000 a month with the website built, hosted and kept edited, our team making the content by hand, and local SEO, the profile and review replies run for you. Ads, sales email and automation are three separate lines at their own prices. Prices are CAD; ad spend is separate and stays in your account.
We are not down the street. Our address is in Toronto, our people are in Ontario and British Columbia, and the work is remote with a call each month. For the work itself — profile, reviews, pages, posts, follow-up — that changes nothing. If what you need is somebody physically in your building with a camera, say so on the call and we will tell you to hire locally.
Do you have an office in Seattle?
No. Toronto and British Columbia, with clients across Canada and the US. The monthly call is a call, and the work arrives whether or not your week was busy. We would rather say that plainly than open a mailbox address and call it a location.
How long before I see anything?
Content and review replies start shipping in the first week, and that is what month one gives you: work you can look at. Search rankings take about 90 days. If you need a number to move inside the month, that is ads, and it is a separate line. If nothing has moved by month three, that is the point to change direction.
Should I be running Google Ads at $12.18 a click?
Only after the profile and the page can hold the traffic. That is the Paid Growth line at $1,000 a month. Before that, the free result sitting directly above the ad is the cheaper buy.
We serve the whole Puget Sound region. Does that work?
Yes, with a service-area profile and a page for each place you genuinely serve. The limit is honesty: a page for a suburb you have never worked in will not rank and should not exist.
What does it take from me?
About ten minutes a week to approve what we made, from your phone.
