Frequently asked questions

What does a digital marketing agency for startups do?
A digital marketing agency for startups runs the channels that bring in customers while the founders build the product: paid ads, SEO and AI search, the website and conversion rate, and email and retention. Wadabu runs all four as one senior team and reports every channel against revenue.
How much does a startup marketing agency cost?
Most agencies charge $3,000 to $25,000 a month per channel, and a full growth team usually runs $5,000 to $15,000 a month. Wadabu charges $2,000 a month per service, or $5,000 a month for paid ads, SEO and AI search, site and CRO, and email together. Paid ads is $2,000 or 15% of ad spend, whichever is greater. Everything is month-to-month.
Is Wadabu a fractional marketing team?
Yes. Wadabu works as a fractional marketing team: senior strategy plus the people who run the ads, SEO, site and email every week, month-to-month. A fractional CMO sets strategy and hands the work back to the founder. A fractional team does the work too.
How long until a startup sees results from marketing?
Paid ads and email usually show early results in the first month. SEO and AI search build over three to six months and keep compounding after that.
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization gets a brand named when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews what to buy. It combines clear, citable answers about the products and category, structured data AI tools can read, and tracking of where the brand gets mentioned.
Does Wadabu build websites?
Wadabu improves existing sites for conversion and builds landing pages for campaigns. Full store builds and redesigns go to its sister studio, Liquid Lemon. The focus is growth after launch: traffic, conversion and repeat purchases.
What stage of startup does Wadabu work with?
Consumer-brand startups with a product in market and a budget for growth, from first launch to about $100,000 a month in sales.
Who works on the account?
A senior team plans and runs the work, backed by Wadabu's in-house AI, WADU, for research and reporting. There are no hand-offs to juniors.
