Typical marketing costs

Smart home projects carry high design and install value with optional recurring support revenue. Marketing should be judged on consultation-to-contract conversion and project margin.

Typical cost per qualified lead $50 to $200 depending on market positioning
Typical cost per booked consultation $180 to $650 for whole-home intent
Recommended starting ad spend $2,500 to $8,000 per month for integrators
New build spec funnel payback Often multi-month but high project value per win

Gadget-price traffic rarely converts to whole-home integration. Premium positioning and pre-qualification protect integrator time.
