FAQ

Common
questions.

How much does digital marketing cost for a small business?+

Costs vary based on the services and level of activity you need. At A2 Project, plans range from a Basic tier covering social media and email through to full Pro packages including paid ads and in-office support. All engagements start with a free consultation to find the right fit for your budget and goals.

What digital marketing services does a small business actually need?+

For most small businesses, the highest-impact starting points are social media (to build awareness), email marketing (to convert and retain), and local SEO (to be found). Paid advertising becomes valuable once you have a clear offer and audience. We help you prioritise based on your stage and goals.

How long does it take to see results from digital marketing?+

Paid advertising can generate results within days. Social media and email typically show meaningful traction within 2 to 3 months of consistent activity. SEO is longer-term - most local businesses see significant ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months. We are transparent about timelines from day one.

Do I need to be on every social media platform?+

No - and spreading too thin is one of the most common mistakes small businesses make. The right platforms depend entirely on where your customers are. We identify the 1 to 3 platforms where your effort will deliver the most return and build a focused strategy around those.

What makes A2 Project different from a larger agency?+

At a larger agency you are handed to account managers and juniors. At A2 Project, you deal directly with me - the person doing the work - every time. Faster decisions, no briefing losses, and a genuine understanding of your business that deepens over time. The same quality of thinking whether you are a one-person plumbing business or a large manufacturer.

Can I change or cancel my plan?+

Yes. We work on flexible agreements - not 12-month lock-ins. If your needs change, your plan changes with them. That is exactly why the Flexi plan exists. Just get in touch and we will make it work.
