Pricing
The prices are on the page. That's the point.
Most agencies hide pricing behind a discovery call. StillAwake Media publishes it. Monthly plans start at $40, fixed-price services at $150, and a professional business website with local search set up runs about $2,750 to $5,750. Larger or less-defined work gets a written scope and a fixed price through an async intake — never a mandatory sales call. You are never charged more for having more employees. All prices in Canadian dollars.
Projects — three ways in
Which one you need is decided by the work, not by the size of your company. Price your own project with the cost calculator — it runs the same model we scope real work with.
Projects can be split into up to four payments across the build, at the same total price — no interest, no fees, and nothing extra for paying over time. The calculator estimates what each payment looks like. Payment options are confirmed in your written proposal, not here.
Website
from $1,800 CAD a full business site with local search: $2,750–$5,750
- — Custom design, built for you
- — Home, about, contact and your service pages
- — Forms, analytics and Search Console
- — Technical SEO and structured data
- — You edit the content yourself
Store or system
from $4,250 CAD written scope, fixed price
- — Shopify set up properly, from $4,250
- — Business dashboards from $12,000
- — Priced for the work, not your headcount
- — No mandatory sales call
Discovery
from $1,800 CAD credited against the build
Plus applicable tax
- — For software and anything still taking shape
- — A written scope and architecture
- — A fixed build price at the end
- — The fee comes off the build
One-time — fixed-price starting points
Not ready for a build. These are fixed — not a range, not an estimate, and not a consultation that turns into a quote. You pay the number you see and you get the thing.
Website health audit
$150 CAD one-time
Plus applicable tax
- — A written read of what is actually wrong with your site — technical health, search visibility and what is costing you enquiries. A report, not changes.
llms.txt & AI-readiness setup
$250 CAD one-time
Plus applicable tax
- — An llms.txt file and the entity markup that lets ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and AI Overviews describe your business correctly instead of guessing.
Google Business Profile setup
$250 CAD one-time
Plus applicable tax
- — Your Google Business Profile claimed, filled in properly, categorised and connected to your site — the single highest-leverage local search asset.
Speed & Core Web Vitals fix
$400 CAD one-time
Plus applicable tax
- — Core Web Vitals brought into the green: images, render-blocking assets, layout shift and the largest paint. Measured before and after.
Monthly — keeping it running
Plans start at $40 CAD a month. Each one is the whole rung, not a trimmed version of the one above it — you move up when the work calls for it, not because the small plan was made deliberately annoying.
Managed hosting
$40 CAD per month
Plus applicable tax
- — Fast hosting on our infrastructure
- — SSL, DNS and uptime monitoring
- — Daily backups
- — We handle the platform, you never see it
Website care plan
$150 CAD per month
Plus applicable tax
- — Everything in managed hosting
- — Software and dependency updates
- — Small content and copy edits
- — Something breaks, we fix it — no incident fee
Monthly — growth plans
Starter is a real plan at a small size, not a trial. Content production is the odd one out on purpose — it writes new material rather than optimising what exists, so it sits alongside an SEO plan rather than replacing one.
SEO Growth — Starter
$250 CAD per month
Plus applicable tax
- — Search Console monitoring
- — One on-page fix a month
- — Monthly report you can actually read
- — The honest entry point — not a smaller Essentials

Plus applicable tax

- — Monthly report
SEO Growth — Advanced
$850 CAD per month

- — Everything in Essentials
- — AI-search (AEO) optimization

Content production
$1,200 CAD per month
Plus applicable tax
- — Articles and page copy written for you
- — Researched against what people actually search
- — Published, internally linked and measured
- — Pairs with an SEO plan — it is not one
One-time — emergency support
A three-question workload check sets the tier; you see the exact price before paying. Never a subscription.
Emergency Support — Custom Site
$150–$400 CAD one-time
- — Quick fix — $150: One contained issue, fixed same day
- — Priority incident — $250: Something broken and costing you business
- — Heavy incident — $400: Multiple pages or systems affected
Emergency Support — Ecommerce
$250–$600 CAD one-time
- — Store triage — $250: Checkout or catalogue issue diagnosed and fixed

- — Business-critical — $600: Store down, drop-everything response
