How much does contractor marketing cost?
At Strata Modus, managed contractor marketing starts at $1,999/month with Discovery & Intake, and one-time à la carte projects run $1,000–$5,000. Advertising spend is always separate, so the real cost is the management fee plus the media budget you approve.
Separate the fee from the ad budget
Monthly plans range from Discovery & Intake at $1,999/month to Competitive Growth at $5,000/month for managed growth, with Market Ownership at $10,000/month and Executive at $14,800/month for owned networks and wider operations. Each is available on 4, 8 or 12-month initial terms, with no automatic renewal.
Google, Local Services and Meta budgets are paid to the platforms and approved by you. Ask any agency to show these two numbers separately, so you can judge the management work on its own.
Start with one project if that fits
À la carte web design, content marketing, standard operating procedures and business automations run $1,000–$5,000 one time, with a complete technical hand-off so your team can run them afterwards.
A one-time project suits a contractor who needs a better website or intake path but already has someone to manage campaigns.
