    We are upfront about pricing because this is not a cheap, boxed-in, “buy some content” service.

    Our consulting and done-with-you work starts at $4.1k/month.

    Our full done-for-you Content RevOps system starts at $8.5k/month.

    That usually raises a fair question:

    Why does it cost that much?

    We are not a linear content vendor

    We do not just write blogs.

    We do not post on social and hope something goes viral.

    We do not sell hacks, tips, or generic lead-gen tactics.

    Content RevOps combines:

    • Content strategy

    • Revenue operations

    • CRM and data work

    • Automation

    • Buyer research

    • Sales enablement

    • Distribution

    • Nurture

    • Reporting

    • Content engineering

    That is a multidisciplinary system. It cannot be fairly compared to a freelance writer, a social media contractor, or a generic agency selling content packages.

    We build serious commercial infrastructure, not content for content’s sake.

    What influences the price?

    A few things.

    First, the people.

    You usually work with an account manager and several specialist contributors across strategy, content, automation, data, and technical execution.

    We do not hire cheap freelancers and pass their work off as expert delivery.

    We work with skilled people, pay them fairly, and invest in their development. That costs more, but it protects the quality of the work.

    Second, the quality.

    This is not AI slop produced in five minutes by someone who does not understand your market.

    The work requires judgement, niche understanding, technical skill, and proper commercial thinking.

    Third, the model.

    We are selective. We normally take on up to 5 new clients per quarter so we can stay close to the work and maintain quality.

    We are not trying to become a bloated agency with dozens of vague service lines.

    We specialise. We stay boutique. We do the work properly.

    What about tooling and platform costs?

    We absorb most shared platform and tooling costs ourselves.

    You only pay for costs that are specific to your account and cannot reasonably be shared across clients.

    That usually includes things like:

    • Your API usage

    • Your automation platform subscriptions

    • Your scraper or enrichment usage

    • Your CRM or email platform costs

    • Any client-specific software subscriptions

    As a planning estimate, most clients should expect around $500/month in usage or platform costs on top of our fee.

    That is usually minimal relative to the amount of infrastructure being built and operated.

    Are there hidden fees?

    No.

    Whatever we quote at the start is what you pay.

    No surprise charges.

    No vague admin fees.

    No padded invoices.

    If something outside the original scope becomes necessary, we discuss it before anything changes.

    How do payments work?

    We usually take payment through:

    • Stripe

    • Direct SWIFT transfer

    We invoice at the end of each month.

    Invoices are sent to the primary contact person.

    Payment is due within 7 days.

    We do not charge late fees. We value the relationship more than turning payment into a fight. That said, we do expect invoices to be handled professionally and on time.

    Do prices ever change?

    Sometimes, but not suddenly.

    We review fees every 6 months.

    Pricing may change if:

    • The scope has grown

    • The workload has materially increased

    • The project requires more specialist input

    • We see an opportunity to add work that could materially improve results

    Any change is discussed clearly in advance.

    We do not spring new pricing on clients. In most cases, changes only take effect when the client is ready, even if that means waiting weeks or months.

    Do you offer discounts?

    Sometimes.

    We are flexible when we value the relationship and see strong long-term fit.

    That might mean a discount of around 10–15% in specific cases.

    But we do not heavily discount our work.

    Deep discounting would mean cutting corners, underpaying people, lowering quality, or taking on too much volume.

    We are not willing to do that.

    The simple answer

    Yes, Content RevOps is a serious investment.

    No, we are not cheap.

    But we are also not selling cheap work.

    You are not paying for “content.”

    You are paying for a specialised team building a content-led revenue system across strategy, CRM, automation, distribution, sales enablement, and reporting.

    That is the difference.
