New Path Digital Pricing: How We Build Your Custom Plan

One common question we hear from businesses leaders is, “How much does digital marketing cost?” While many marketing agencies provide price ranges or pre-set packages, these one-size-fits-all solutions rarely deliver meaningful results efficiently.

Every business is unique, and marketing costs are influenced by many factors, from the complexity of the services to the agency’s experience

At New Path Digital, we don’t sell pre-made packages. Instead, we build a data-driven, strategic plan tailored specifically to your business goals. This post will cover the New Path Digital pricing process, showing you how we develop a custom plan designed for real growth.

Why Standard Agency Pricing Models Fall Short

Most agencies rely on common pricing models like fixed retainers, hourly rates, or project-based fees. While these approaches offer simple and predictable billing, they often lack the flexibility needed to drive genuine growth with a good ROI.

A generic approach presents some key problems:

1. You might pay for services you don’t need.
2. The plan may not be aggressive enough for your specific market or industry.
3. It ignores your specific audience, competitors, and stage of growth.

Our philosophy at New Path Digital is that strategy always comes before spend. A marketing plan should be built around your goals, not a generic service list, which is why we lead with strategic marketing planning services.

Our 4-Step Process for Crafting Your Custom Plan

We use a transparent, four-step process to create a tailored marketing plan that forms the foundation of our pricing.

Step 1: Discovery Discussion & Goal Alignment

Our process begins with a discovery discussion. This is not a sales call; it’s a deep dive into your business so we can align on what matters most. We discuss:

1. Your biggest business challenges and roadblocks.
2. Your specific, measurable growth goals (e.g., increase signed cases by 20%, enter a new service area).
3. Who your ideal customers are.
4. What success looks like to you.

This initial phase provides the CMO-level thinking needed to build a solid foundation for success.

Step 2: Deep-Dive Audit & Opportunity Analysis

After the workshop, our team conducts a comprehensive audit of your digital presence and current marketing efforts. We analyze:

1. Website Performance: Technical SEO health and user experience.
2. Paid Media Effectiveness: A review of current campaigns to identify opportunities and any wasted spend.
3. Competitive Landscape: An analysis of competitor strategies and your market position.
4. Brand Visibility: Your presence on search engines and AI platforms (AEO).

The result is a clear picture of what’s working, what isn’t, and where your greatest growth opportunities.

Step 3: Focused Channel Selection & Roadmap Development

Using the insights gathered from the discussion and audit, we develop a prioritized, execution-ready roadmap. We don’t just recommend “more marketing”; we help you choose the right mix of channels to make the biggest impact. Your custom plan could include:

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Improving your visibility in search engine results.
2. Paid Search Advertising (PPC): Running targeted ads on platforms like Google.
3. OTT/CTV Advertising: Reaching audiences through streaming TV services.
4. Content Creation & Optimization: Developing valuable content that attracts customers.
5. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): Optimizing for voice search and AI assistants.

Step 4: Transparent Pricing Based on Scope

Your final quote is a direct reflection of the custom roadmap we build together. Our pricing is based on:

1. The services necessary to achieve your goals.
2. The hours and resources needed to execute the plan.
3. The complexity and competitiveness of your industry.

You aren’t paying for a generic bundle; you are investing in a tailored scope of work designed specifically for your success.

Key Factors That Influence Your Custom Price

Several variables determine the final investment level for your custom plan.

Scope and Scale of Services

A comprehensive, multi-channel strategy that integrates SEO, PPC, and content marketing will naturally require a larger investment than a single-service engagement.

For example, a national e-commerce SEO campaign is more resource-intensive than a hyperlocal marketing campaign for a local service business.

Industry Competitiveness & Goals

The competitiveness of your industry significantly impacts the budget required to see meaningful results.

Sectors like legal and finance often have a high average cost-per-lead, sometimes exceeding $100 for a single lead from paid search advertising. Breaking into a tough market or aiming for rapid growth demands a more significant investment.

Ad Spend vs. Management Fees

When running paid media campaigns, it’s important to differentiate between two distinct costs:

1. Ad Spend: The budget that is paid directly to advertising platforms like Google or Meta.
2. Management Fee: The fee paid to New Path Digital for strategy, campaign management, optimization, and reporting.
