  • Digital PR: $5,000-$100,000+

What are the average project timelines?

According to top digital marketing agency Funnel Boost Media: foundational campaigns for brands without an established online presence can take about 6 months. On the other hand, a full campaign redesign may require 3-6 months, from discovery to launch. 

The final timeline depends on the number of target locations, feedback cycle, and project complexity and scope.  

Here's an estimated timeline based on a digital marketing service

  • Branding: 2-4 months 
  • Digital advertising: A few weeks 
  • SEO: 3-6 months 
  • Local optimization: 2-3 months 
  • Social media marketing: 2-3 months 
  • eCommerce and Direct to Consumer (DTC) marketing: 4 months 

When can clients expect ROI from these campaigns?

Return on investment (ROI) timelines depend on digital channel, market competitiveness, budget, and the brand's existing presence.  

In many cases, businesses may see early performance indicators, such as increased traffic, leads, or engagement, within 3-6 months. However, more consistent, revenue-attributable ROI will appear within 6-12 months. 

Below is a rough ROI timeline according to Searchbloom

  • SEO takes around 3-6 months; however, brands facing high industry competition may take longer. 
  • Paid media produces results within 30-60 days after account optimization and A/B testing. 
  • CRO only takes a few months after testing and implementation. 
  • Web redesign and development show performance improvements within 2-4 months after launch, especially when combined with paid and organic strategies.
