How much does Karbon Agency cost?+
Karbon Agency's pricing starts at: marketing (Meta ads + a free landing page) from $1,500/month plus ad spend, the AI receptionist from $500/month plus a one-time setup from $1,000, and websites from $750 one-time. Monthly services are month-to-month, and ad spend is paid to the platforms with no markup.
What's included in the starting price?+
Marketing from $1,500/mo: meta & instagram ads + a free landing page, strategy, targeting and ad creative, weekly optimization and a live results dashboard, google ads available as an add-on, no markup on your ad spend. The AI receptionist from $500/mo: answers every call, 24/7, books appointments into your calendar, transfers to a human and takes messages, call recordings and a daily summary, custom script, set up and live in 7 days. Websites from $750: custom landing page or small site, mobile-first design, contact form with lead tracking, basic on-page seo, yours to keep — no monthly fee to us.
How much ad spend do I need?+
We recommend at least $1,500/mo in ad spend on top of the marketing fee. It is paid directly to Meta or Google, never to Karbon, and there is no markup on it. Below that, the platforms don't get enough data to optimize, and we'll tell you honestly if ads aren't worth it yet.
Why does the AI receptionist have a setup fee?+
The one-time setup, from $1,000, pays for writing your custom call script, connecting your calendar and phone line, and testing before launch. You're live in 7 days. After that it's $500/mo and up, month-to-month.
Is there a long-term contract?+
No. Marketing and the AI receptionist are month-to-month — no long-term lock-in. Websites are a one-time build. Cancel a monthly service with notice; there is no lock-in.
What makes the price go above the starting price?+
Each price is a starting point. What moves it up: for marketing, the number of channels and locations, your ad budget and how much new creative you need; for the AI receptionist, call volume, the number of locations, and extras such as reminders, missed-call text-back, review requests or deposits; for websites, the number of pages, copywriting and integrations. You get a fixed quote before you commit. Performance-based pricing is available on request: revenue share or commission tied to the results we drive, for businesses ready to scale aggressively.
