Things to Consider

—Minimum project size of $50,000+ puts them out of reach for startups or small businesses with limited budgets

—SEO results typically take 3-6 months to materialize, making this a poor fit for companies needing quick wins or immediate pipeline

—Paid media management fees can compound quickly alongside ad spend, making total cost of engagement higher than it initially appears
