**Short answer:** we publish every price because buyers want it and hidden pricing costs more than it protects. In Mixology's 2025 B2B Buyer Report, 74 percent of buyers said they want clear, detailed pricing up front, and 69 percent named missing pricing information among their top frustrations. Our ranges run from a $150 audit report to a $12,000 full business architecture, and the range on the site is the range on the proposal.

Ask most agencies what a website or a CRM build costs and you get the same answer: "it depends, let's hop on a call." The call is a qualification exercise. They want to know your budget before they name a number, because the number moves.

We went the other way. Every system we sell is listed on this site with a real price range, from a $150 audit report to a $12,000 full business architecture. The ranges live in our Service Investment Guide, and the guide on the website is the same document we quote from on proposals.

## What the research says buyers want

Mixology's 2025 B2B Buyer Report, [summarized by DesignRush in September 2026](https://news.designrush.com/b2b-pricing-transparency), found that 74 percent of B2B buyers want clear and detailed pricing up front, 69 percent list a lack of pricing information among their leading frustrations, and 65 percent named price or return on investment as a top factor in the final decision. In the same article, a Teneo survey of 300 US software vendors found 31 percent said pricing and negotiation was the sales stage where their performance deteriorated most.

Small business owners buying marketing systems are not so different from those enterprise buyers. The one comparing three agencies on a Tuesday night wants the number before the call, not after it.

## What hiding prices actually does

Hidden pricing filters out exactly the wrong people. The business owner who has been burned before, the one comparing three agencies on a Tuesday night, the one who needs to know if you are even in their range before spending an hour on a call. They all leave. The people who stay are the ones with time to burn, and time-rich rarely means decision-ready.

There is also a quieter cost. When the price appears for the first time on a proposal, every earlier conversation gets re-read as a setup. Trust that took three calls to build evaporates in one PDF.

## What publishing them does

A published range does three jobs at once:

- **It qualifies both directions.** You know if we fit your budget before we ever talk, and our first call gets to be about your business instead of a dance around numbers.
- **It commits us.** Our number cannot drift upward when we hear the name of your neighborhood or see the car you drive. The range on the site is the range on the proposal.
- **It signals how we run engagements.** An agency that is transparent about money before the sale tends to stay transparent about scope, timelines, and reporting after it. The reverse is also usually true.

## The honest trade-off

Publishing prices costs us something: competitors can see them, and a certain kind of client will always chase the bottom of a range. We accept both. Competitors copying our prices without our systems are selling a different product at the same number, and range-bottom shoppers find out on the discovery call that scope is what moves the number, not negotiation.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why do most agencies hide their prices?

Because the number moves. Hiding it lets the agency learn your budget before quoting, and it forces a sales call the agency controls. Both help the agency more than the buyer.

### Is the price on the website the price I will actually pay?

Yes, within the published range. Scope moves you inside the range; negotiation does not. The Service Investment Guide on the site is the same document we quote from on proposals.

### What is the cheapest way to start with Velora Media?

A Business Audit Report at $150, which scores where your SEO, funnel, or ad account is leaking revenue. Quick-start systems run $150 to about $1,200, and single built systems start around $500.

### What does a full engagement cost?

Full Business Architecture, our most comprehensive build, runs $6,000 to $12,000. Ongoing retainers run $500 to $6,000 a month depending on scope.

### Do published prices mean there is no consultation?

No. The consultation is free and it is an audit, not a pitch. Published prices just mean the call is about your business instead of a negotiation about numbers.
