Digital Marketing Pricing Packages for South African Businesses
Transparent pricing, fixed packages, no hidden fees. Know exactly what you pay for.
How Much Does Digital Marketing Cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on your starting point. A business with no website needs more foundation work than one with an existing site. Below are CMA's standard SMART packages — fixed prices, listed inclusions, no hidden fees.
SMART Starter
Perfect for getting online fast
SMART Growth
For ongoing lead generation

Why a Package?
Individual services work. Connected SMART ecosystems work harder.
When your website, email marketing, content strategy, and brand identity are all built and managed by one team with one strategy — everything compounds. Each service makes the others more effective.
Everything Connects
One team manages your entire SMART ecosystem — no coordination overhead, no brief gaps between agencies, no disconnected results.
Better Value
A SMART Package costs significantly less than buying the same services from different providers — with better integration and consistent results.
Compounding Results
Your content drives traffic to your website. Your website captures leads. Your email nurtures them. Your brand makes all of it more credible. Every service amplifies the others.
One South African Team
One point of contact. One strategy. One team that understands your South African market, your business, and your goals — without the handoff friction of multiple vendors.
What Our Clients Say
South African businesses that invested in SMART.
"We were paying three different agencies for our website, social media, and email marketing — none of them talking to each other. CMA's SMART Growth Package gave us one team, one strategy, and better results than all three combined — at a lower total cost."
"The SMART All-in-One package was the best business investment I made this year. My website, content, email system, and brand are all finally working together. Inbound enquiries have tripled in four months."
"I appreciated that CMA showed me exactly what I'd be getting for my investment — no hidden costs, no surprises. The ROI on my SMART package was visible within 60 days. Transparent, professional, and genuinely effective."

Transparent answers to the most common questions about CMA's packages — so you can make a confident, informed decision about investing in your South African service business's digital ecosystem.
Book a Free Strategy SessionWhy don't you show exact prices for every service?
Every South African service business is different — different size, different market, different goals, and different starting points. The prices shown are starting from prices. During your free Strategy Session we audit your current digital presence, understand your specific objectives, and give you a transparent, tailored quote with no surprises. We won't waste your time with generic pricing that doesn't reflect your actual needs.
Can I start with one service and add more later?
Absolutely — and many of our clients do exactly that. Most start with a SMART Website, then add email marketing or content marketing as their business grows and their confidence in the ROI builds. Our SMART Package exists for those who want to do everything at once and maximise the compounding effect — but there's no obligation to start there.
Is the SMART All-in-One Package really worth R5,000/month?
The SMART services included in the package would cost R31,385+/month if purchased individually at our standard rates — so the package saves you R26,385+ per month, or over R316,000 per year. More importantly, the services are worth significantly more when they're integrated and managed as one cohesive strategy. The compounding effect of connected services consistently outperforms disconnected ones. Yes — it's worth it.
Are there any lock-in contracts?
No long-term lock-ins. Our packages run month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel or pause. We earn your continued investment by delivering results — not by holding you to a contract. For once-off project work (website design, brand identity), standard project payment terms apply.
Do prices include VAT and ad spend?
All prices shown are excluding VAT. Ad spend budgets (for paid media campaigns on Google, Meta, LinkedIn) are billed separately from your management fee — you control your own ad spend budget. We'll recommend minimum spend levels during your Strategy Session based on your market and objectives.
What happens after I book a Strategy Session?
Your free 45-minute SMART Strategy Session includes a full audit of your current digital presence, a review of your goals, and a tailored package recommendation with transparent pricing. If you're happy to proceed, we send a proposal within 48 hours and can typically start within 5–7 business days of sign-off.

Are there any setup fees?
