Digital Marketing Pricing in India: The Complete Breakdown (2025)
Local SEO: ₹7,000 – ₹25,000/month
Local SEO makes your business appear at the top of Google Maps and "near me" searches — typically the highest ROI service for any brick-and-mortar or service business. At the starter level (₹7,000–₹15,000/month), you get GMB optimisation, basic keyword targeting, and directory listings. At the growth level (₹15,000–₹25,000/month), you get aggressive content creation, competitor analysis, citation building, and monthly reporting.
Website Design: ₹15,000 – ₹1,50,000 (one-time)
A basic 5-page freelance website starts around ₹15,000–₹25,000. A professional, conversion-optimised website with modern design, mobile-first build, and integrated SEO from a reputable agency costs ₹50,000–₹1,50,000. This is a one-time investment that pays for itself many times over when built correctly.
Social Media Management: ₹8,000 – ₹20,000/month
This typically includes content creation (graphics + captions), posting schedules (3–5 posts per week), story management, and basic engagement. Higher-end packages include Reels/Shorts production and paid campaign management.
Google Ads / Meta Ads: ₹10,000+/month ad spend + 15–20% management fee
Most agencies charge 15–20% of your monthly ad spend as a management fee. Minimum effective ad budgets for Bangalore-level competition start at ₹10,000–₹15,000/month.
