All prices exclude VAT, which is added where it applies; the exact position is confirmed on your quote. Advertising spend is paid directly to Meta and Google from your own account and is never marked up by us. Byter Africa trades as part of Byter Ltd, registered in England and Wales no. 11372197, and invoices in rand.

Why Everything costs more than Marketing and Website added together. It is not the same work with a bigger number on it. Everything includes a shoot day every month rather than none, four channels posted daily rather than two, automations built into your booking or CRM system rather than off-the-shelf ones, and a named strategist. The production and the build time are the difference.

What people ask about price

What does digital marketing cost in South Africa?

Published South African pricing guides in 2026 mostly put agency retainers between R12,000 and R30,000 a month once content production and paid social are included, with larger agencies well above that. Freelancers start lower but usually cover posting only. Ours are R2,750 for a website, R5,500 for marketing and R22,000 for everything, excluding VAT and excluding advertising spend.

Is advertising spend included?

No. Management is in the package; the media budget is paid directly to Meta or Google from your own account, and we never mark it up. For a local business, R3,000 to R10,000 a month on Meta is usually enough to learn something.

Why are you cheaper than other agencies?

The volume work is automated: drafting, scheduling, reporting and follow-up. A typical retainer prices those as hours. We spend far fewer hours on them, so the price reflects it. Strategy and approval time are unchanged.

Is there a contract?

Website is month to month. Marketing has a three-month minimum and Everything six, because the setup takes a few weeks and there is nothing useful to judge before that.

Who owns the accounts and the work?

You do. Your ad accounts, your Google Business Profile, your channels, and everything we produce. If we part ways you keep all of it.

Can I change package?

Up at any time, down at the end of the minimum term.
