India digital marketing price index, Q4 2026

This index collects the prices that Indian digital marketing agencies, studios and freelancers publish on their own websites, for seven services: websites, SEO, social media management, Google Ads and Meta Ads management, reels and video, logo and branding, and Google Business Profile. Every figure comes from a price we read on the provider's own page and then confirmed in a second, independent check.

It shows what providers ask in public for their listed packages, not what clients end up paying after a custom quote. Veridian Code sells most of these services, so we left our own prices out. The method and every source are below, and the full data is free to download, so anyone can check the work.

How we built the index

1. Finding sources. We started from the agency and freelancer price pages already cited in our cost guides, then searched the web for Indian agencies, studios and freelancers that publish prices for each service, across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and smaller cities. We left out marketplaces and directories, software and platform prices, news sites, articles that only estimate what the market charges, and Veridian Code itself.
2. Reading each page. We downloaded each page with an ordinary browser request on 28 October 2026 and kept its readable text. Of 358 pages, 26 returned an error, blocked automated access or showed no text without JavaScript. We marked those "couldn't check" and used none of their prices.
3. Extracting prices. From each page's text we extracted every price exactly as written, with its period, what the page says is included and a word-for-word quote. Anything unclear was left out, and so were market estimates, other companies' prices, ad spend and old struck-through prices.
4. Checking every price. A program confirmed that each quote appears word for word on the page and that the amount matches it. A second, independent read of the same page then checked each price again: the amount, the period, the package, and whether it is the provider's own current offer. Only prices that passed every check are in the index: 889 of them. A further 36 prices failed the second check and were left out.
5. What counts. Prices in rupees that a provider offers for its own services. A monthly package counts only when the page says the price is monthly. Websites, logos and other one-off projects count whether or not the page says "one-time". Where a page gives a range or a "from" price, we use the lowest figure. The same plan repeated on several pages of one site counts once.
6. The figures. For each package type we give the number of prices, the number of providers, the lower quartile, the median and the upper quartile, calculated the inclusive way (like QUARTILE.INC in a spreadsheet). We report a package type only when it has at least five prices from at least five providers.

What the index doesn't show

• Published prices are asking prices for listed packages. Many providers quote custom work separately, and many larger agencies don't publish prices at all, so the index leans towards providers who sell standard packages.
• Two packages at the same price can include very different work. The data file lists what each provider says is included.
• The sources are the providers we could find publishing prices, not a random sample of the market. Treat the figures as a guide to published prices.
• Prices change. Every row in the data file carries the date we read it.

Use and quote the index

You're welcome to quote or embed these figures with a link to this page. The full data, with every confirmed price, its source page, the date we read it and the quote it came from, is in the CSV file. We plan to refresh the index every quarter, with the quarter in the title.
