This page covers everything: what we charge, what the industry charges, what each tier actually includes, and the math on when each tier pays back. No bait pricing, no surprise upgrades, no 12-month contracts. Land at the right tier for your stage, prove ROI in 90 days, expand from there.

Sprout Sage Medspa Marketing Pricing — Full Transparency

SEO retainer — starts at $800/month

Google Ads management — starts at $600/month

We bill management fee separately from ad spend (you pay Google directly via your own credit card). No markup on ad spend.

Website design — starts at $2,500 (one-time)

Hosting + maintenance: $99–$299/month, billed separately. No platform lock-in.

Membership funnel — starts at $700/month + $1,800 build

Membership build typically pays back in 60–120 days because MRR compounds fast.

Industry Pricing Benchmarks (What Other Agencies Charge)

We pulled this from public sources, agency websites, and 22 medspa client onboardings in 2025–2026:

Our positioning: senior consultant time + transparent pricing + medspa-specific stack at the mid-market tier. Not the cheapest. Not the most expensive. Designed to deliver predictable ROI.

Pricing Math: When Each Tier Pays Back

Starter SEO ($800/mo)

Break-even: ~2 new patients per month at average $600 LTV. Most solo medspas hit ROI inside 60–90 days. This is the entry tier — designed to prove ROI before scaling.

Solo Growth SEO ($1,500/mo)

Break-even: ~3 new patients per month at average $600 LTV. ROI inside 3–4 months for most clients.

SEO + Google Ads stack ($1,500 SEO + $1,200 mgmt + $3K ad spend = $5,700/mo)

Break-even: ~10 booked consultations per month at average $600 LTV. Most multi-channel medspas hit this inside 60–90 days.

Membership funnel ($700/mo retainer + $1,800 build)

Break-even: ~6 active members at $135/mo. Most clients hit this in month 2–3 of program launch.

A Real Medspa Pricing Math Example

A solo Scottsdale injector onboarded at our Starter SEO tier ($800/mo) plus a one-time website refresh ($3,500). Total first 6-month investment: $8,300.

Six-month results:

• Organic-attributed monthly consultations: 4 → 18
• Three new ranking pages on page 1 of Google
• New monthly recurring revenue from launched membership program: $0 → $4,200 MRR
• Net new attributed annual revenue: ~$84,000

ROI on $8,300 investment: 10×. After month 6, the client scaled up to Solo Growth ($1,500/mo) plus Google Ads management ($1,200/mo + $3K ad spend) — total ~$5,700/mo — and continued growing at 15–25% MoM in attributed revenue.

That’s the model: land at Starter, prove ROI in 90 days, scale based on results.

Common Pricing Questions

Why do you publish pricing when most agencies don’t?

Because medspa owners are tired of “schedule a call to learn pricing” tactics. Transparent pricing filters out tire-kickers and gives serious buyers confidence to start.

Are there setup fees?

No. We waive setup fees in exchange for committing to a 90-day evaluation window (during which you can exit any time with 30 days notice).

What if I need a custom scope?

Enterprise tier is custom-scoped. Most clients fit cleanly into one of the standard tiers — we only do custom work above $9K/mo retainer.

Can I start with one service and add more later?

Yes. Most clients start with SEO + website rebuild, then add Google Ads month 3 and membership program month 4–6.

Do you offer performance-only pricing?

Rarely. Performance pricing in medspa marketing creates perverse incentives (chasing volume, not quality). We bill flat retainers + transparent attribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the minimum monthly investment?

$800/month on our Starter SEO plan. That’s deliberately below most aesthetic agencies because we’d rather earn your trust at the entry tier and grow with you than gate you out at $5K minimums.

Are you cheaper than Thrive or DoctorLogic?

Significantly cheaper at the entry tier ($800–$4,000 vs their $3,500–$10K). We don’t try to compete at $10K/mo retainers — we compete by landing at $800–$1,500, proving ROI in 90 days, then scaling with clients who see real results.

How is pricing affected by my city?

Slightly. Premium markets (Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Miami Beach) typically run at the upper end of our published tiers because keyword competition is sharper. We don’t gouge based on perceived budget.

Can I get a discount for paying annually?

Yes — 10% off retainer if you pre-pay 12 months. We don’t push it though — month-to-month with 30-day exit is the default.

What’s not included in retainers?

Ad spend, third-party software (booking, CRM, call tracking), and content production above 4 pieces/month. Everything else is in scope. Book a free 30-min strategy call →

Transparent pricing is one of the cheapest competitive moats in marketing. We publish ours because most of our peers won’t.
