COMMON QUESTIONS

Pricing, Services & How It Works.

How much does it cost to work with Whiskey River Media?
+

Our AI SEO plans start at $797/month. Full-Stack Partnership tiers are priced as a percentage of your total ad spend — Tier I at 10%, Tier II at 8%, Tier III at 6% — making them scale with your business. Standalone media buying starts at $1,500 setup plus a percentage of spend. Every engagement includes a setup month before moving to month-to-month.

What is the Full-Stack Partnership?
+

The Full-Stack Partnership is our flagship engagement — a fully integrated growth operation covering paid media, SEO, content, email/SMS, and brand strategy. Rather than charging a flat retainer, we charge a percentage of your total ad spend, so our incentives are aligned with your growth. Tier I starts at 10% of spend, Tier II at 8%, and Tier III (our highest-volume tier) at 6%.

What does the media buying service include?
+

Standalone media buying is for clients who have strong creative teams in-house and primarily need expert paid media management. It includes campaign strategy, audience architecture, bidding, optimization, and MEC reporting across platforms — starting at a $1,500 setup fee plus a percentage of spend. Note: clients provide the creative assets for this service.

What is a setup month and why do you charge for it?
+

Month 1 is always a setup month. This is when we do the strategic groundwork: keyword mapping, audience research, technical audits, dashboard configuration, and campaign architecture. This investment ensures everything we build after is built on a solid foundation, not guesswork. It's the same price as your ongoing monthly fee.

Does Whiskey River Media do branding?
+

Yes. We offer brand identity and positioning as both a standalone project and as part of Full-Stack Partnership engagements. This includes logo systems, visual identity, messaging frameworks, and positioning strategy — all built to scale across paid and organic channels.

What industries does Whiskey River Media work with?
+

We've worked across DTC e-commerce, B2B services, SaaS, automotive aftermarket, health and wellness, food and beverage, professional services, and more. What we look for isn't an industry — it's a founder who's serious about scaling and thinks about business value, not just top-line revenue.

Can I pick just one service, or do I need the full package?
+

You can start with a single service — SEO, media buying, or branding — and expand from there. We also offer à la carte options like landing page builds, email automations, and CRO audits. The Full-Stack Partnership is our most powerful offering, but we don't force clients into more than they're ready for.

What is the MEC and why does it matter?
+

MEC stands for Marketing Efficiency Coefficient — our proprietary reporting framework that replaces vanity metrics (impressions, clicks, follower counts) with revenue-correlated performance data. Every report we deliver is organized around MEC because it tells the real story of your marketing ROI and creates a documentary trail that becomes a valuation asset if you ever sell.
