How does the matching work?
You write a brief: industry, goal, channels, budget and timeframe. Every published marketer profile is then scored against it. An industry match is worth 50 points, each shared channel 10 up to a maximum of 30, taking work at your budget 15, and being open to new work 5. You get a ranked shortlist where every score is shown with the reasons it was given, plus a scoping note on what to hire for and what to ask on the first call.
How much does MarketerMatch cost?
Browsing the directory is free and so is your first match report, once, with no card. After that Business Pro is $288 a year, half the price of paying monthly, or $49 a month, which covers 30 reports a month, the whole shortlist rather than the top three, contact details, saved briefs, exports and the budget and availability filters. Marketers are listed free and we take no commission on work they win.
Do you vet the marketers?
No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Every profile is written and published by the marketer themselves, and the shortlist scores what they claim against what you asked for. Treat the shortlist as a shortlist: the reasons behind each score are printed so you can judge them, and the report gives you the questions to ask before you commit.
What industries do you cover?
You name your own industry on the brief in your own words, so nothing is limited to a fixed list. The directory pages cover the sectors our marketers list themselves under, including SaaS, healthcare, e-commerce, real estate, finance, legal and education.
How fast will I get matched?
The shortlist is produced while you wait, on the page, as soon as you submit the brief. There is no queue and nothing to wait for.
Can I run the brief again if the match is not right?
Yes. Change the brief and run it again, and it is scored from scratch. Each run counts against your monthly allowance, which is 30 on Business Pro.
Is MarketerMatch free for marketers?
Being listed is free and stays free, and we take no commission on anything you win. Marketer Pro at $168 a year or $29 a month is optional: it lists you ahead of free profiles when two of you score the same, carries six work samples instead of one, and shows you every brief that shortlisted you.
How is this different from a general freelance marketplace?
There is no bidding here and no commission. You write a brief, every profile is scored against it on industry, channel and budget fit, and you contact whoever you like directly. Nothing about the ranking is for sale.
