In today’s episode, we break down how much AI marketing should actually cost your small business. AI marketing is not just a tool, chatbot, automation, or done-for-you system you buy. The real cost depends on the problem you need solved, the level of customization, the tools being used, and whether there is a real strategy behind it.

Small business owners are being pitched AI agents, automations, chatbots, and marketing systems that promise faster growth and lower costs. But how do you know what is worth paying for — and what is just an overpriced prompt?

In this conversation, we talk about AI marketing pricing, vendor red flags, what small businesses should budget for, and why every company needs a different AI strategy.

You’ll also hear why AI can help your business work faster, cheaper, and smarter — but human judgment still matters.

What you’ll learn:

AI marketing costs: what small businesses should expect to pay. AI strategy: why pricing depends on the problem you need solved. Tool vs. system: why AI marketing is not just software you buy. Pricing red flags: when an AI marketing package may be overpriced. Human oversight: why your business still needs smart decision-making. Vendor questions: what to ask before paying for AI marketing. Automation value: when AI can actually save time and money. Small business AI: how to avoid hype and invest wisely. Custom AI systems: why one-size-fits-all AI rarely works. Marketing foundations: why AI works best when your strategy is already clear.
