    Ranges are indicative for the Sri Lankan market in 2026. Final pricing depends on scope, audience size and competitiveness. Ad spend (Google, Meta) is additional to management fees.

    Recommended budget by business size

    • Solo / micro business: LKR 10,000–25,000/month — single channel, project-based
    • Small business (5–20 staff): LKR 25,000–75,000/month — two channels, light retainer
    • Mid-market (20–100 staff): LKR 75,000–250,000/month — full-service multi-channel
    • Enterprise / national brand: LKR 250,000+ — dedicated team, all channels, performance media

    Where most businesses overspend

    1. Paying for "social media management" that produces engagement but no leads
    2. Boosting Facebook posts instead of running structured campaigns
    3. Hidden ad-spend markups (5–25%) on top of management fees
    4. Expensive websites that aren't optimised for conversion or SEO
    5. Single-channel agencies that miss obvious cross-channel lift
