Pricing
What It Costs
One relationship, two ways to start, and honest disclosure of everything that sits outside the monthly price. No large required website fee, no choose-your-own-price guesswork.
The starting point
Two Options. The Same Service.
Both give your church approximately 4–6 hours of professional digital marketing and development work each month. The lower rate rewards a longer commitment.
The $200 rate gives us enough runway to continually build and improve your church's digital presence rather than restarting every month. That is why it exists.
The $250 option provides month-to-month flexibility for churches that are not ready to commit, or whose situation may change.
Standard website hosting is included within an active relationship for normal church websites. It is one relationship at one price — not a labour fee with hosting quietly added on top.

Need significantly more development capacity or want to move faster? Your monthly development budget can increase. We will discuss it with you rather than assume it.
Specialised production
Production Services Are Separate
Books, songs, video, merchandise and sponsorship systems are production services with their own pricing. They are not automatically included in the monthly relationship.
These are things we make for you: a finished book, a song, a prepared video, a set of clips, a designed shirt. They have real production cost and are priced individually.
Some of them can also be produced using monthly Digital Marketing Department time when they are prioritised — for example sermon clips or social content. Where that is possible, it is noted on the individual service page.

Ongoing services
Standalone Monthly Services
Standard website hosting
- Price
- $25/month
- Included in the Department?
- Included for normal church websites
Google Business Profile / GBP Local Plus
- Price
- $100/month
- Included in the Department?
- Included — not charged again
Church Reviews & Reputation Management
- Price
- $100/month
- Included in the Department?
- Included — not charged again
Important for department clients: Google Business Profile work and Reviews & Reputation work already sit inside your available capability pool. They are not automatically stacked on as another $100 each month. The standalone prices exist for churches who want that work on its own without the broader relationship.
Hosting
Hosting Is Included, With Honest Limits
Standard website hosting is included within an active Digital Marketing Department relationship for normal church websites. There is no separate hosting invoice.
For churches not in a relationship, standalone standard hosting is available at $25/month.
Large or high-traffic sites, large databases, unusual storage requirements, or complex back-office applications may require additional infrastructure. If that applies to your church, we will tell you before anything changes, and you will always know what you are paying for.
Outside vendor costs are not silently included
Your monthly price covers our professional work. It does not quietly absorb third-party vendor costs. Depending on what your church chooses to do, these may include:
Domains · commercial email providers · SMS usage · payment processing · unusual hosting or storage · premium software · music distribution · printing · shipping · merchandise production · outside vendors
We may recommend, configure or manage these systems for you. Where practical, the accounts belong directly to your church. Their costs remain separate unless we specifically state otherwise.
Moving faster
Increased Development Capacity
Some churches reach a point where they want significantly more activity than 4–6 hours a month allows.
That might be a complete website rebuild alongside a major event push, a substantial content program, or serious Google Ad Grant work.
When a church is ready for that, its monthly development capacity can increase. This is a conversation, not a package we push at new visitors.
For churches preparing for or operating Google Ad Grant campaigns, we currently see approximately $397/month or more of ongoing development capacity as an appropriate working level. That is our own service and readiness standard, not a Google requirement, and it is explained fully on the Google Ad Grants pages.
Pricing questions
Questions About Cost
Is the $200 service paid for by hosting and labour separately?
No. It is one relationship at one price, with standard hosting included for normal church websites. We do not present it as a labour fee with a hosting charge added on top.
Do you charge for consulting?
Yes — $100/hour. A church may simply need an experienced person to look at its situation and help decide what to do next. Consulting is not free by default, though if you later become a Digital Marketing Department client, the conversation continues from there.
Do we pay extra for Google Business Profile or review work?
Not if you are an active department client. Both already sit inside your available capability pool. The $100/month standalone prices are for churches who want that specific work on its own.
Are there any hidden costs?
No hidden costs, but there are sometimes third-party costs we cannot absorb — domains, commercial email, SMS, payment processing, printing, shipping and so on. We will always tell you before you incur one.
Can you guarantee a return on what we spend?
No, and we will not claim one. Our goal is to help your digital outreach eventually pay for itself, but that is an objective we work toward with you — never a promised financial result.
Not sure which option fits your church?
Tell us about your church and what you are trying to accomplish. We will recommend the right starting point — including telling you if you do not need us yet.
