Quick guide
Three practical checks
1Why can two similar prices buy different work?
One proposal may cover writing and publishing, while another also includes photography, message handling, and reporting. An apparently cheaper quote may require you to supply finished copy and images. Compare the responsibilities before deciding which price suits the business.
Start with the task you need solved: accurate business information, a working website, regular content, or a clearer inquiry process. Buying a large package without naming the task makes it difficult to assess whether the work is useful.
2What should the comparison worksheet include?
| Compare | Provider A | Provider B |
|---|---|---|
| Deliverables and quantities | Record exact scope | Record exact scope |
| Research, writing, and images | Who supplies each? | Who supplies each? |
| Approvals and revisions | Limits and process | Limits and process |
| Replies and reporting | Included or excluded? | Included or excluded? |
| Advertising budget | Separate from fees? | Separate from fees? |
| Ownership and handover | What stays with you? | What stays with you? |
Also record the recurring fee, setup cost, optional charges, and the period covered. A blank answer is a question to resolve, not an inclusion to assume.
3How do you choose an appropriate scope?
Ask each provider to explain how the proposed work addresses your problem. Request a smaller defined option if you only need a bounded task. If the business cannot supply approvals or handle inquiries, include those constraints in the discussion.

How this can look in practice
A clinic receives two social proposals with the same monthly price. One includes approved photo production; the other expects the clinic to provide every image. The difference may matter more than the headline post count. Neither proposal’s price alone proves value.

Frequently asked questions
What is a normal marketing price in GenSan?
This guide does not claim a surveyed local price range. Obtain current written quotes for comparable scope, then evaluate what your business would actually receive and need to supply.
Should I choose the lowest quote?
Price matters, but compare scope, competence, responsibilities, and your available resources together. An affordable proposal should still explain the work and how you will review it.
