The real number, before the call — not after you sound interested.
Ask three marketers in Sylhet what digital marketing costs and you get three numbers, all of them vague, all of them depending on how keen you sound. I publish my floor, the tier breakdown, and the one line nobody else tells you up front — that my fee and your Google/Meta ad budget are two separate things. Packages start at 50,000 BDT, terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Floor: 50,000 BDT. Tiers at 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT. Custom multi-channel builds from 3,00,000 BDT. ~5 years running Ads, SEO and Meta. Design-approval guarantee on anything I build.

The first message I get from a Sylhet business owner is almost always the same: "Bhai, digital marketing er koto taka?" Fair question — you want to know if this fits the budget before you spend an evening explaining your business. But here is why an honest answer takes a sentence longer in Sylhet than in Dhaka or Chattogram: a real chunk of your buyers are not in Bangladesh. They are probashi — in East London, Birmingham, the Gulf — and reaching them costs ad money that reaching a local walk-in does not. So 'the price' is really two numbers, and most people quoting you only mention one.
The number that matters first is my fee — what I charge to plan, build and run the work. That floor is 50,000 BDT, written down, not whispered after I size up your shop. The second number is your ad budget: the money that goes straight to Google and Meta to actually put your ads in front of people. That is not my fee and never touches my account. The Facebook-boosting boys in Sylhet blur these two on purpose — they take a few thousand taka, spend most of it on a boost to random Bangladesh accounts, keep the rest, and call it 'marketing.' This page exists to un-blur it.
I am RH Fardin, a solo senior operator who has spent roughly five years running Google Ads, SEO and Meta for Bangladeshi and overseas brands. There is no agency layer here, no junior on your account, no account manager forwarding screenshots. I write the strategy, build the landing page, set up the campaigns, wire the bKash and Nagad tracking, and reply on WhatsApp myself. Because there is no office full of people to feed, the price you see is the price you pay — and it buys you a senior person, not a part-timer who is gone by next winter season.
Below I lay out the digital marketing price in Sylhet the way I wish someone had laid it out for you years ago: the floor, the three tiers and what each one runs, where the custom band starts, how ad budget sits separate from my fee, and the honest reasons a Sylhet campaign costs what it costs once you factor in reaching the diaspora. Read it top to bottom and you should walk away with a real number in your head for digital marketing Sylhet BD — before we ever get on a call.
A price means nothing without scope, and in Sylhet it means nothing without separating my fee from your ad spend. Here is exactly what each part is, so you can plan a real budget for digital marketing price Sylhet, not a guess.
My fee starts at 50,000 BDT — on the page, not extracted after a sales call. You will not get a 10,000 BDT counter from me; below this number nobody is doing real keyword research, tracking or diaspora targeting.
50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT, each with a defined channel mix and scope. The 50K is a single-channel start; the 1,50,000 BDT runs Ads, SEO and Meta together with a built landing page. You pick the tier that fits the work.
Your Google and Meta spend goes straight to the platform, never through me, never marked up. I tell you on the first call what budget your goal realistically needs — especially to reach probashi buyers abroad, who cost more to show ads to.
Full multi-channel campaigns with a new website, advanced funnels, or e-commerce tracking across bKash, Nagad and card gateways start at 3,00,000 BDT and are scoped line by line — no template, no padded retainer.
50% advance to start, 50% on launch — no surprise mid-month 'reporting fee', no per-edit charge, no fee to hand over your own Ads and Analytics accounts. What we agree in writing is what you pay.
Every taka of fee buys a senior operator who personally runs the account through your busy winter — not a few thousand handed to a part-timer who boosts one post to whoever is cheapest and disappears by Boishakh.
When the same work costs more for a Sylhet business than a Dhaka one, it is almost never the strategist's fee that moves — it is the ad budget, because your audience is split across two worlds. A Dhaka restaurant markets to people who can drive over tonight. A Sylhet wedding venue, real-estate project or Hajj-Umrah agency is often selling to the probashi brother in Whitechapel who is paying, and the relative back home who is organising.
Showing ads in UK and Gulf postcodes, in English, to a returnee who judges your page against the polished apps on his phone, simply costs more per result than reaching a local in Zindabazar. That cost lands on your ad budget, not my fee — and any quote that does not separate the two is hiding something.
The 50,000 BDT floor is what it honestly costs for one senior person to plan, target and track this properly; the spend on top is sized to whether you are chasing local walk-ins, the diaspora, or both.
There is also a calendar premium nobody mentions. Sylhet's real money moves in a short winter window — when probashi families fly home for weddings and venues, caterers, restaurants and jewellers fight for the same few weeks. Ad auctions get more expensive when everyone bids at once, so a smart plan front-loads spend into those weeks and runs lean on SEO and brand in the quiet months, instead of dribbling a flat retainer across a year where half of it is wasted.
That is a pricing decision, not just a tactic — and it is why I would rather charge a clean fee for a sharp seasonal campaign than sell you twelve identical months. So when you compare a digital marketing price in Sylhet against a number you heard for Dhaka, do not assume the cheaper headline is the better deal.
Ask what is fee and what is ad budget, ask whether the plan even reaches the buyers funding the purchase from abroad, and ask who is actually logged into the account at 11pm in wedding season. The honest answer to those three questions tells you far more than the first figure ever will.

The questions Sylhet owners send me before booking — starting with the one everyone asks first, and the one nobody answers straight.
My fee starts at 50,000 BDT and steps up to 90,000 BDT and 1,50,000 BDT depending on how many channels you run — Google Ads, SEO, Facebook and Instagram, landing pages. Full multi-channel builds with a new website start from 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch, with a design-approval guarantee on anything I build. The one thing to be clear on: that price is my fee for the work.
Your actual Google and Meta ad budget is separate, goes straight to the platform, and never touches my account — and to reach probashi buyers in the UK and Gulf, that budget has to be set realistically. I will be honest with you about the right number on the first call.
Because they pay for two different things, and lumping them together is how Sylhet's boosting crowd hides their margin. My fee pays for the work: strategy, keyword research, campaign setup, the landing page, conversion tracking, the ad copy in Bangla and English, and me personally managing it. The ad budget is the money Google and Meta charge to actually deliver your ads to people — and you pay that straight to them, not me, with zero markup. A boosting boy takes one lump of a few thousand taka, quietly spends part of it on a boost, and keeps the rest. I show you both numbers separately so you know exactly what you are paying for and where every taka goes.
It changes the ad budget, not my fee — and this is the single most important pricing fact for a Sylhet business. Reaching Sylheti families in East London, Birmingham, Manchester or the Gulf, in English, costs more per result than reaching a local walk-in, because those audiences and ad auctions are simply more expensive.
So if a big share of your money comes from abroad, plan for a higher ad budget on top of the package — that is just the honest cost of being seen by the people actually funding the purchase. My fee covers building and running the two-audience setup: a geo-targeted English campaign for the diaspora and a separate Bangla-first campaign for the local buyer, both tracked so you see which leads came from where.
Because a boost and real marketing are not the same product. A few thousand taka buys you reach to random Bangladesh accounts and a screenshot of likes — it cannot pay for proper keyword research, diaspora geo-targeting, conversion tracking, a fast landing page, ad copy that answers 'koto taka' in the first line, and a senior person who is still on your account when wedding season hits. Most Sylhet owners who took the cheap-boost route have months of reach screenshots and an empty booking calendar to show for it.
50,000 BDT is what it honestly costs for one senior operator to do the work properly and point your spend at people who can actually become customers — including the ones abroad a boost never touches.
Build the budget around your season instead of spreading it flat all year. For a Sylhet venue, caterer or restaurant, the winter window when probashi families fly home is short and decisive, so the smart move is to front-load the ad budget into the weeks families are planning and booking — hitting both the local organiser and the relative abroad who is often paying — and run lean on SEO and brand in the quiet months.
My fee can stay steady while the ad spend rises in winter and drops off-season; I would rather size a sharp seasonal push than charge you a flat retainer to burn budget when nobody is booking. We plan the numbers around the calendar, not the other way round.
I work as a solo senior operator serving Sylhet closely, and for this work the local understanding matters far more than a desk address — almost everything happens inside the ad accounts, not in an office. What matters is that I know a Sylheti buyer asks price first, that a huge share of demand sits abroad and needs geo-targeted English campaigns, and that the calendar bends around winter weddings and the Hajj-Umrah rush. On payment, yes — bKash and Nagad are both fine for my fee, as is a regular BDT bank transfer; overseas clients can pay by Wise or wire in USD. It is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, with no hidden fees in between.
