The Problem...
Choosing an online marketing, web design or SEO partner can be really difficult, it's likely that you're already experiencing this reality. Finding prices that range from $5 for a Fiverr gig, to yearly minimum contracts in the tens, or even hundreds of thousands...
Another problem is that there's a disconnect between the ability of a supplier to make claims and promises, and the real quality. A flashy sales page could have been created by a different company from the one you're talking to. The sales person could just be a great sales person!
Case studies shown to you could be a small sample from a large client base, they won't showcase the train wrecks! Testimonials can be paid for, verbal promises can be undermined in the small print...
Web Design is less risky, you can hold back full payment while shoddy work is fixed. Bad SEO practices can literally destroy your companies online presence.
Another issue is that for marketing to be conducted effectively, the supplier you choose needs to have some understanding of your company, and industry. Blog posts, marketing material and even social media comments written by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about can have an adverse effect on your companies image.
There are other problems that can be experienced when looking for an online partner, but hopefully the point has been made...
The Choices From Our Competition...
With outsourced contract work, there's a tendency for companies to offer their services in three different ways:
Tactic 1: The VERY Affordable Price
This is the 'bargain' price that's presented like a special offer. The price will be at the bottom end of the range, and an explanation will try to justify why it's so cheap. If you've been quoted £4000/$5000 for a website designed to your desired specification, and someone offers to do it for £1000/$1250, you might be tempted, IF you believe the justification.
Tactic 2: The Value Package
A 'value package' pitch is where you get a list of services and products that will be provided for a fixed price. For example, for £200/$250 you can find a package where you can get 3 blog posts written, which are posted 10 places online, and then 10 back links and 20 blog comments. This appeals to our need for value for money and justifies the ticket price.
Tactic 3: The High End Guru/Agency
A high end guru/agency will have super slick sales landing pages, downloadable guides and PDFs and plenty of testimonials. Try to find a specific price and set of deliverables and you will struggle. You'll only find 'Enquire Now' type buttons, when you move deeper into their sales funnel. There will be a slick process, so that when you eventually get a price tag, you don't feint...
As you delve deeper into the murky world of online marketing, watch your blood pressure and stress levels...
Are we saying that all of our competition will do bad work, or overcharge you?
Of course not, there are plenty of good options, among the hundreds of thousands of our competitors out there 🙂
The Solution...
We've structured a solution that removes much of the noise and sales tactics that are employed. We break it down for you simply, you'll understand how much we charge, and what we'll do for it in the simplest terms.
'What have you done for me today?'
Are you aware of the phrase? Another similar one is: 'What have you done for me lately?'
This is how we work...
- Who cares about case studies of clients from years ago who are in different industries?
- Are you really happy in signing a contract for 12 months with no recent results?
- Do you want to hear that it can take 6 months to achieve any results?
Whilst impressive results can take 6-12 months (depending on how many hours per month are worked)... You don't want to wait this long before you realise that you've picked the wrong partner, or to get out of a contract...

OK to explain further, Out of the Box Innovations only works with clients in the energy industry, so we already understand the competitive landscape and the online options available to you.
Depending on your current online presence, and your sub-niche, demonstrable results (ROI) could be really easy to achieve. Or next to impossible...
For example:
- If you're in a narrow sector of a market such as supplying specialist equipment or services, we might find that you are already on page 2 of Google. Some simple onsite SEO work might get you to page one, and require only an hour or two of work.
- If you're entering the 'oil and gas news' or 'solar industry news' space, then you'll be up against every news agency in the world, as well as each industry leader. We might need to discuss a online promotional pivot or refinement. Some companies will lock you into a 12 month contract only to find that the space is too competitive.
With nearly every project there are some easy wins to be had, and some traps to avoid. This is especially the case in the energy industry both online and offline. We'll be happy to chat about the potential wins for your business, and the strategies to avoid, free of charge...
Then, our pricing is super simple. Hire us for a single day, or for a week...
At the end of which... We can answer the most important question:
'What have you done for me lately?'
So, without further ado, and to save you scrolling back up the page... Drop us an email and we'll be happy to discuss your objectives.
