What Calgary marketing agencies charge, from the prices they publish
Most agencies don't publish prices, which makes comparing them a week of sales calls. This page lists every price we found on Calgary agency websites, with the date we checked and a link to where it was published. We're on the list, in alphabetical order. It's not a ranking and we don't claim to be the best.
The list
Prices as published on each company’s website when we checked on October 12, 2026. Agencies change prices and pages; treat this as a starting point and check the source. Monthly figures are in Canadian dollars unless noted.

How to read it
- A month-to-month term after a pilot is now common. Yearly contracts with automatic renewal are the main complaint in public reviews of directory-style vendors.
- Tiers by client revenue (Kobzza’s model) are honest about the fact that bigger companies need more work. Ask what the tier buys in hours and deliverables.
- Guarantees come with conditions. Read what “results” means and who qualifies.
- Setup fees matter for AI phone products. A $500 retainer with a $5,000 setup is a different purchase from a $500 retainer with none.
- Where the accounts live matters more than the price. If the Google profile, ad account or website is in the agency’s name, leaving is expensive.
What we don’t claim
We’re not the cheapest on this list and not the most expensive, and we’re not going to tell you we’re the best. What we’ll say is that our prices are on this page, our first term is 90 days, and we report in calls and bookings. If another agency fits you better, this list should help you find them faster.
If you run an agency on this list and we’ve got your price wrong, email us at support@alphaseed.ca and we’ll correct it the same week.
About this list
Why isn't my agency listed?
Because we only list prices that are published on the agency’s own website, and most agencies don’t publish any. If yours does and we missed it, email us the page and we’ll add it.
Which plan should a small company pick?
The one whose first 90 days you can afford without stress, from an agency that reports in numbers you understand (calls, bookings, jobs). Published prices, month-to-month terms after a pilot, and accounts in your own name are the three things we’d insist on from anyone, including us.
Is cheaper better?
Below about $1,000 a month you’re usually buying a profile, a few posts and a report, often from an offshore team. That can be fine for a one-person company. Above that, ask exactly what hours of work and what deliverables the price buys.
