The short answer

Internet marketing costs vary because the work, market, goals, and speed differ for every business.

A small local company may pay a few thousand dollars per month for focused search, content, and ad management. A firm in a hard national market may invest much more in staff time, creative work, tools, and media. Advertising spend usually sits apart from the fee paid to plan and manage campaigns. One-time work, such as a site review, tracking setup, or landing page build, may use a fixed project price. Ongoing programs often use a monthly fee.

Some providers also price a first research phase before they suggest a full plan. The lowest quote may not be the lowest cost if it brings weak leads, poor tracking, or work that must be redone. Ask what the fee covers, who will do the work, how often you will meet, and which results the team will track. Set the budget from the value of a new customer, close rate, sales cycle, and available demand. Leave enough room to test and learn without risking cash the business needs elsewhere. A sound plan starts with scope, proves where returns come from, and adds spend when results support it.
