What marketing costs a NetSuite partner in the UK

¶01 The short answer, with numbers

If you run a UK NetSuite partner or ERP consultancy and you want to know what marketing costs before you take a sales call, the honest answer is that the market will not tell you. So here is one supplier's full price list, published, and the reasoning behind each number.

Artifexa charges nothing for a measured Visibility Review, £750 as the entry point for a scoped priority fix, £3,500 for a one-month Pilot with no tie, and £3,500 or £5,000 a month for ongoing Marketing Ops depending on how much runs through it. Those are the real figures, they are on the engagement menu, and they do not change depending on how your firm looks on a call.

What this page cannot do is tell you what the other providers charge, because they do not say. That silence is itself the most useful thing to understand before you start ringing round.

¶02 Why nobody publishes this

Three reasons, and only one of them is about you.

The first is genuine: the scope is not agreed yet. A firm with a working website and a dormant email list needs different work from a firm whose site has not been touched since 2021, and a single number covering both would be wrong for both. Fair enough, as far as it goes.

The second is commercial. A discovery call lets a supplier size the fee to the client rather than to the work. A ten-person consultancy and a hundred-person one asking for the same monthly output will often be quoted differently, and a published price makes that impossible.

The third is that publishing a number invites a comparison the supplier may not win. It is much easier to sell a bespoke figure inside a relationship than a fixed one on a page next to somebody else's.

None of that helps a partner principal trying to work out whether this is a £1,000 problem or a £5,000 one before spending an hour finding out.

¶03 What you are actually buying at each level

Ignore the labels for a moment. Marketing spend for a firm like yours buys one of four genuinely different things, and confusing them is how budgets get wasted.

A diagnosis. Somebody reads your site, your search presence and your enquiry paths the way a buyer would, and tells you in writing what is wrong and in what order. This should be cheap or free, because it is the thing that tells you whether to spend anything else.

An artefact. A rebuilt website, a positioning reset, a set of service pages. One-off, scoped, priced as a project. Worth doing when the thing itself is broken, and worth nothing if the reason nothing gets published is that nobody has time.

A rhythm. Somebody produces a defined amount of reviewable work every month whether or not your consultants are busy. This is the one most referral-led firms actually need and the one they buy last, because it is the least tangible on the day you sign.

A function. A fractional marketing lead, or an in-house hire, who owns the whole thing including the parts nobody has specified. Most expensive, most flexible, and the hardest to make work in a firm where every senior person is billable.

¶04 The four ways to spend the money

A large B2B technology agency will size an engagement to an account team, which means a retainer that assumes someone on your side briefs them and feeds them content. If you have a marketing director and a budget that justifies the structure, that works. A five-person consultancy usually gets the junior end of the team and a strategy nobody has capacity to execute.

A generalist local agency is cheaper and closer to hand, and will usually be honest that ERP is not their subject. The cost that does not appear on the invoice is the time your consultants spend explaining what you sell, every month, forever.

A freelancer is the cheapest route to real expertise, and if you find one who has worked inside an ERP or systems-integration business they can be excellent. The risk is structural rather than personal: one person, one calendar, no cover, and a service that stops when they take a holiday.

A specialist Marketing Ops service is narrower than all three. It does not do brand campaigns, events or sales collateral. It produces a defined monthly output against a stated priority, and it should be able to tell you exactly what that output is before you pay for it. Artifexa is in this group, which is why section 05 is a price list rather than an argument.

The longer version of this comparison, including what to ask each of them before you sign, is in who does marketing for NetSuite partners in the UK.

¶05 What Artifexa charges, in full

Figures current as of 5 September 2026, and published on the engagement menu rather than quoted after a call.

The three terms that decide whether the price is a risk

Month one is pay on delivery. If it is not delivered, there is no invoice.

There is a review at month three against a named list of what must exist by then. If anything is missing you stop, and months four to six are never invoiced.

The £750 sprint is credited in full against your first month if you continue, so the first paid step costs nothing if it leads anywhere.

No ranking is promised, no visitor number, no count of leads. The work delivered is the only thing guaranteed. What a month contains, in full.

¶06 Which number applies to you

A price list is not a recommendation. It does not tell you what your firm should spend, and the right answer for a consultancy with a strong site and a dead email list is different from one with neither.

It does not tell you whether the money is worth spending at all, either. If your pipeline is entirely referral-led and your referrers are busy, it may not be, and a free review will say so. That is a real outcome and it happens often enough to be worth saying out loud.

What it does do is let you rule the whole thing in or out before you spend an hour on a call. If £3,500 a month is not a number your firm can carry, you now know that without asking anyone. If it is, the next question is which of these tiers your site actually needs, and that is what the free review answers: a written, prioritised list, in four working days, that you keep whether or not you spend a penny.
