How much does Corriston Consulting charge?

Engagements run in four structures: Audit (fixed-price, three weeks), Project (scoped with a fixed deliverable and timeline), Fractional (embedded senior role at $10K–$20K/month for 10–20 hours per week), and Advisory (hourly blocks at $350/hour with a 10-hour minimum). Most clients start with an Audit — it scopes the real work before any open-ended billing starts.

What does a marketing audit cost?

A full marketing audit is a fixed-price three-week engagement. Pricing scales slightly with account complexity — number of channels, amount of spend, site size — but there's no open-ended billing. Specific pricing is confirmed in the intro conversation once the scope is clear. Audits typically run in the low five figures.

How much does SEO consulting cost?

SEO engagements range from $5K–$8K for a three-week technical and content audit, $15K–$50K for a scoped implementation project, and $10K–$18K per month for ongoing fractional Head of SEO work at 10–20 hours per week. The right starting point depends on the current state of the site — most productive engagements begin with an audit.

How much does SEM consulting cost?

SEM engagements are scoped to account size. Accounts under $5K/month in ad spend usually don't justify consulting cost — the economics don't work. Accounts between $10K and $1M+/month benefit most from senior operator review. Engagements typically range from $5K for a one-time audit to $8K–$12K/month for ongoing account management oversight.

How much does fractional CMO or fractional head of marketing work cost?

Fractional leadership engagements run $10K–$20K/month for 10–20 hours per week, scaling with company complexity and scope. Sub-$10K rates usually signal inexperience; over $20K starts to approach the total-comp equivalent of a full-time hire. Most fractional engagements run 3–6 months, sometimes extending to 12 months for companies in transition.

How much does a social media marketing engagement cost?

Paid social engagements (Meta, LinkedIn, Amazon Ads) follow the Audit / Project / Fractional / Advisory structure as other services. Audits typically run $3K–$5K. Ongoing management oversight runs $6K–$10K/month depending on the number of platforms and account complexity.

How much does marketing operations consulting cost?

Marketing operations engagements are scoped to the specific problem — attribution setup, dashboard build, tracking cleanup, or reporting cadence work. Project engagements typically run $5K–$20K depending on scope. Fractional MOps work at 10–15 hours/week runs $8K–$12K/month.

How much does web development cost?

Web development timelines and costs depend on scope and platform. A marketing site rebuild on Webflow or WordPress with 10–20 pages typically runs $8K–$20K through the partner network. A custom Next.js marketing site runs $15K–$40K. Ecommerce builds on Shopify Plus can run $20K–$60K depending on catalog size and integration complexity. Pricing is from the partner network, not billed at consulting rates.

How much does custom app development cost?

Custom app development scopes vary significantly. Simple internal tools and dashboards start in the low five figures ($10K–$25K). More complex builds with AI components, multiple integrations, or customer-facing interfaces scale from $30K–$100K+. Every project starts with a scoping phase that includes a realistic cost estimate before any development starts.

Is there a minimum engagement size?

There's no arbitrary minimum. Audits are fixed-price regardless of company size. The practical floor is whether the engagement will produce meaningful business impact. Pre-revenue companies and accounts under $5K/month in ad spend are usually better served by a different path — I'll say so in the first conversation.

How does the Advisory model work?

Advisory is for teams that need senior operator judgment on specific problems but don't need a full fractional engagement. The rate is $350/hour with a 10-hour minimum block ($3,500), purchased upfront and used within 60 days. Each month you pick where you want the focus — paid media review, SEO strategy session, attribution debugging, hiring input, whatever's highest leverage. It's the right fit for smaller shops, solo founders, and companies that want periodic senior review without a monthly retainer.

Do you offer hourly consulting?

Yes — the Advisory model is hourly, structured as 10-hour blocks at $350/hour. The block format avoids the incentive problems of open-ended hourly billing (where slower is more expensive) because the scope is fixed upfront and the hours are used within 60 days. For anything larger than periodic advisory work, Audit / Project / Fractional engagements are the right structure.
