Pricing questions
Why do you publish your pricing when no other GIS firm does?
Because the lack of pricing transparency in this industry wastes everyone's time. Organizations go through multiple discovery calls and proposal rounds just to learn a ballpark. We believe you should know what an engagement costs before the first conversation so you can evaluate fit immediately.
How do you scope GeoConsult projects?
We start with a free 30-minute discovery call to understand your challenge. Then we provide a written scope with specific deliverables, timeline, and fixed price. No hourly billing surprises. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
What is the difference between GeoStory and a StoryMap included in GeoPartner?
GeoStory is a standalone engagement focused entirely on producing a polished StoryMap or set of marketing materials. StoryMaps in a GeoPartner engagement are part of an ongoing relationship — they benefit from deep context about your organization, accumulated over months, and are typically produced faster because we already understand your data and audience.
Can we start with GeoStory and scale up later?
Absolutely. GeoStory is designed as an entry point. Many clients start with a single StoryMap to see our work, then engage for GeoConsult projects or transition to an ongoing GeoPartner relationship. There is no lock-in and no pressure to scale.
Do you offer discounts for nonprofits or government agencies?
Our pricing is already significantly below enterprise GIS consulting rates ($175-300+/hr). We work extensively with government and nonprofit organizations and scope projects to fit available budgets. If our standard tiers do not align with your funding, book a call — we will find a way to work together.
What about travel costs for on-site work?
Most of our work is remote. For on-site training, workshops, or stakeholder presentations, travel expenses are billed separately at cost. We are based in Denver, CO.
