What is included in a LevelUp Digital monthly retainer?

Every LevelUp Digital retainer is bought one of two ways: in hours, or in named deliverables. Both come with a written scope, a named point of contact, the specialists who do the work, and monthly reporting.

Retainers bought in hours

The flexible digital support retainer is a block of senior hours you can point at whatever needs doing that month: landing pages, tracking fixes, email builds, design, automation. Four levels: 10 hours for $1,900, 15 hours for $2,775, 20 hours for $3,500, and 40 hours for $6,750 per month. This is the right shape when the work changes month to month and you do not want to renegotiate scope every time.

Retainers bought in deliverables

SEO and social are priced by output, not by hours, because the output is what you actually care about. SEO L1 at $1,850 a month is 6 optimized blog articles plus 3 hours of technical SEO. L2 at $2,800 adds 2 more articles or pillar pages and 3 more technical hours. Social L1 at $2,700 is 3 static posts a week across up to 2 channels, and the tiers climb from there to $10,000 for a short form video every week across up to 5 channels.

Ad management sits in its own model: 10% of ad spend with a $1,500 per month minimum, plus $350 a month for each additional platform. See the full rate card for every tier side by side.

What is in every retainer regardless of tier

• A written scope so both sides know what is in and what is out.
• A named point of contact, not a ticket queue.
• Monthly reporting tied to leads and pipeline, not impressions.
• Conversion tracking that is checked, not assumed. See how we track leads.
• Your own accounts. You own the ad accounts, the analytics, the CRM and the data.

HubSpot administration can ride inside a retainer or be bought separately through HubSpot service retainers at $195 an hour or $700 a month for 4 hours.
