Common mistakes

What goes wrong in education & edtech

Comparing fees without comparing scopes — two 'agencies at ₹3L/mo' can mean wildly different deliverables.
Pricing the engagement at the floor of the band instead of the right tier for your stage.
Ignoring media-spend as a separate line — agency fee is a fraction of total monthly investment.
Trying to negotiate below the band — sub-band engagements usually deliver sub-band results.
Locking in annually before the engagement has shipped 90 days of work.

Metrics

What to track for education & edtech

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's a fair price floor for SEO services cost in Bangalore?

What's a fair price floor for SEO services cost in Bangalore?

Can I negotiate?

Yes — volume commitments unlock 15-25% discount typically. Annual commitments unlock additional 10-20%.

Why such wide bands?

Because scope varies wildly. Two engagements quoted at the same fee can deliver very different scopes (channels, creative volume, senior hours). The band reflects the spread; the right tier for your specific case sits at one point inside it.

Can we negotiate below the band?

Sometimes; it usually backfires. Vendors operating below their sustainable rate either compress the scope or shift senior hours to junior staff. We recommend negotiating scope, not fee.

What's the all-in monthly investment, not just the fee?

Fee + media + tools + internal time. For paid-heavy playbooks, total monthly investment is typically 3-5× the agency fee. For organic / lifecycle, total is closer to 1.5× the fee.

When does the engagement start paying back?

Depends on stage + scope. Paid: month 2-3 if creative + attribution land cleanly. Organic / content: month 6-9 as compounding kicks in. Bandwidth + lifecycle: usually inside month 1, because the engagement removes a constraint.
