Boosted Leads vs. a traditional agency
A published floor vs.
"request a quote"
We started Boosted Leads™ because most local agencies hide pricing, lock you into a year, and hand the actual work to whoever's available. Here's the honest difference.
Traditional local agency
Typical full-service retainer
- $1,500–$5,000/mo typical SMB retainer
- 6–12-month contracts common
- Monthly PDF report, reviewed weeks after the month closes
- Layered account teams: a rep, a strategist, and whoever actually does the work
- Setup fees of $500–$2,000 on top of the retainer
- Pricing usually hidden behind "request a quote"
Boosted Leads
AI-run, human-approved retainer
- $997/mo floor + ad spend, published on our pricing page

Why we publish a floor
Most of this market won't tell you a price
