SEO CONTRACT
Paid for what?
A client paid over a thousand euros a month for SEO. Not a single trace of the promised work was ever visible on the website.
ABOUT
Fair digital marketing. Without the jargon.
iKone Marketing is a Finnish digital agency you can recognise by one thing: we tell you straight what we're doing and why. Prices are on the site, results are in numbers, and reports don't list a line item called "management fee".

01 / Why we exist
The industry needed an alternative
Working in marketing taught us one thing: too many Finnish SMBs pay digital agencies for services whose actual content can't be verified. We started helping SMBs through a business advisory program too, and the same stories repeated month after month.
GOOGLE ADS
Half went missing
Of a Google Ads budget worth thousands, only half went to advertising. The rest was a "management fee" whose contents were never explained.
SEARCH VISIBILITY
Words and reality
A large player actively sold its own business directory as "search visibility". Technically true, but the customer of course thought of Google.
The names change, the pattern stays the same. Hundreds of similar cases have piled up over the years. iKone Marketing was founded to offer an alternative: an agency that tells you straight what it does, what it costs and what it produced.
02 / What we do differently
Fairness shows up in actions
Values are noise unless you put them into action. Here is what that looks like in practice.
01
Prices on the site
Prices for websites, advertising and service packages are right on the site. No quote-request gauntlet, no 'ask for more' walls, no salesperson-dependent pricing.
02
One point of contact
The same person owns your project end-to-end. You won't re-explain your situation in every meeting, and you won't be handed off to a junior after a senior was promised in the sales pitch.
03
Measured results
Cases are shown in numbers: enquiries, sales, organic visibility. Verifiable work instead of promises. See the verified results on the /cases page.
04
Direct delivery
Websites, campaigns and tracking are built in-house. No layered subcontracting, no anonymous workers in another time zone, no middlemen relaying messages.
05
Plain language
Conversion means an enquiry or a purchase. LCP means the page loads fast. We explain the technology directly and openly — we don't mystify it into a billing line item.
06
Quick to react
A small team means changes to sites and campaigns ship in hours — days at the latest. Decisions get made without a seven-approver desk. Agility is an advantage, not a constraint.
