At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Steve Zimmer owner at Remodel Cincinnati LLC
5.0★
SEO Review from Steve Zimmer
My company has been around since before the internet became a thing. We worked with Webfeat in the early days and were then lured away by low prices and high promises. Big mistake! After years of bouncing around we returned to Webfeat. We measure our results and can see the affect Webfeat has on my business. For years now we have had all the work we can handle. The people at Webfeat are extremely competent and helpful. They are always willing to help.I no longer worry about marketing, SEO or my website. They handle it all and my pipeline is full.I highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is typically included in a lead generation service package?

A lead generation service package typically includes lead qualification, outbound prospecting, appointment setting, email outreach, ideal customer profile (ICP), audience targeting, data sourcing, and customer relationship management and reporting.

Some lead generation companies may also offer digital marketing services, encompassing search engine optimization (SEO), paid search (e.g., Google Ads), social media (e.g., LinkedIn lead generation), content marketing, and landing page optimization.

How much do lead generation agencies charge for their service?

On average, lead generation companies charge around $500-$10,000 per month or $50-$650 per lead. The final cost will depend on your lead generation channels, target audience, industry competition, content quality, and engagement model.

Here are the estimated rates of lead generation agencies:

Engagement Model	Low Tier	Mid-Tier	High Tier
Cost per lead	$50-$100 per lead	$100-$250 per lead	$400-$650+ per lead
Monthly retainers	$500-$1,000 per month	$1,500-$5,000 per month	$10,000+ per month, especially for multi-channel, multi-region campaigns

Approximate rates for the different lead generation channels:

Events and trade shows: $800-$900 cost per lead
Public relations campaigns: $250-$300 cost per lead
Video marketing: $150-$200 cost per lead
Search engine advertising: $100-$200 cost per lead
Content marketing: $90-$120 cost per lead
Referrals: $70-$100 cost per lead
LinkedIn Advertising: $75-$100 cost per lead
Social media advertising: $50-$75 cost per lead
Email marketing: $50-$75 cost per lead
SEO: $30-$50 cost per lead

What is the difference between inbound lead generation and outbound lead generation?

Inbound leads are potential customers who initiate contact with your business or discover your brand on their own through channels such as search engines, content, social media, or referrals. These leads are typically generated when someone shows interest in your product or service and chooses to engage with your business.

An inbound lead generation strategy commonly includes:

SEO and content marketing
Social media marketing
Referrals
Webinars, downloadable resources, and other lead magnets

Outbound leads are potential customers your business reaches out to first. These prospects may or may not already be aware of your brand, so outbound lead generation focuses on proactive outreach to start a conversation.

An outbound lead generation strategy generally includes:

Cold emails and cold calling
Direct mail
LinkedIn lead generation
Email outreach campaigns
Appointment setting

What is the difference between lead generation and demand generation?

Demand generation focuses on building awareness, interest, and trust before a prospect is ready to engage directly. Lead generation focuses on capturing that interest and turning it into identifiable, qualified leads.

	Demand Generation	Lead Generation
Goal	Build awareness, interest, and trust over time	Capture and convert interested prospects into leads
Funnel stage	Top of funnel	Mid- to bottom of funnel
Strategies	Brand campaigns Ungated content, such as blogs and podcasts Thought leadership campaigns Organic social	Lead magnets Gated content (eBooks, paid reports) Outbound outreach Transactional-intent SEO Appointment setting
Metrics	Brand search volume Brand reach Website traffic Engagement rate	Marketing qualified Sales qualified leads Conversion rates Cost per lead

When should you outsource lead generation, and when should you keep it in-house?

It ultimately depends on your goals, timeline, budget, and internal team capabilities.

Outsource to lead generation companies if:

You need to generate leads quickly but lack the internal expertise or resources to do so effectively.
Lead generation and lead nurturing are taking time away from your team's core business priorities.
You want to launch a multi-channel or multi-region lead generation strategy, but your internal team is already at capacity.
You need flexible support that can scale up or down as business needs change.

Keep lead generation in-house if:

You already have a strong internal marketing and sales team, and generating leads is well integrated into your existing processes.
You want a long-term team with deep knowledge of your brand, products or services, and target audience.
You need greater control over messaging, strategy, and day-to-day collaboration.
Your business relies on highly specialized product knowledge, close alignment with sales, or strict brand and compliance oversight.
