The questions founders ask before handing over their website, store and marketing.
Straight answers, with the prices in them. Alphamotion runs the website, the store, the marketplaces and the marketing for consumer brands, so the founder spends less time managing vendors and less time working out what to fix first.
What Alphamotion runs for a founder
The website, the store, every channel it sells on, and the marketing that brings people to it, run as one piece of work instead of four vendors and an argument.
What it takes off your plate
Management time. One partner instead of five vendors, and you talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages. One stock number, one price, and one figure at the end of the month for what every channel contributed.
Strategy time. The Scan ranks every leak by what it is worth, so the order of work becomes obvious without you having to work it out. Then you act on the list yourself, or we run the parts you want run.
Cost. Faster than building the team, and typically 75% or more below the cost of staffing it, measured against hiring the same capability in India. Typical, not guaranteed.
The terms, printed with every price
All prices plus GST. Monthly services carry a three-month minimum. Ad spend, hosting, cloud, WhatsApp messaging and third-party tools are billed to your own accounts at actuals, never marked up. You own every asset and every account. Anything outside these prices is quoted to the job, in writing, after one conversation.
Who can manage my website, online store and marketing in one place in India?
Alphamotion, based in Andheri East, Mumbai, runs all three for consumer brands across India. It builds the website or store, runs the catalogue on your own site and on the marketplaces, and handles search, content and paid marketing. You deal with one partner instead of five vendors, and with the person doing the work rather than an account manager relaying messages.
Should I hire an in-house ecommerce team or outsource it?
Staffing it properly usually means several hires: someone for the store, someone for the marketplaces, someone for ads, someone for content, and then your time managing them. Alphamotion is faster than building the team, and typically 75% or more below the cost of staffing it, measured against hiring the same capability in India. That is typical, not guaranteed: some functions save considerably more, a few save less, and we tell you which before you commit.
How much of my time does it take once you are running it?
Less than running it yourself, because you are not coordinating separate vendors. There is one point of contact, one stock number and one price across every channel, and one figure at the end of the month for what each channel contributed after commission, returns and spend. Your time goes on decisions, not on chasing updates.
I do not have time to work out a strategy. Where do I start?
With the Scan: a fixed-fee pass of about two weeks across nine areas of the business: revenue, operations, resourcing, structure, automation, information security, customer retention, cash and the quarterly roadmap. You get a ranked list of where money is going and what each fix is worth, so the order of work becomes obvious. It is ₹75,000 plus GST introductory (list ₹1,00,000) and the fee credits in full against the two-month Deep Audit at ₹1,50,000 plus GST. It is advisory: implementation is quoted separately, only for what you choose to hand over.
What results can I expect?
We do not promise revenue growth. What we stand behind is what the work finds. The Scan gives you two numbers: what you can stop spending, and what you're leaving on the table. If between them they don't come to several times what you paid, the audit has failed, and you'll hear that from us in the first two weeks, not at the end.
How much does an ecommerce website cost in India?
Alphamotion's ecommerce store build is ₹39,999 plus GST, built around your business rather than dropped onto a template. The first year of support is included; from year two it is ₹7,999 a year, which also covers hosting, SSL, backups and security when we host the store. On Shopify, Shopify's own plan is paid to Shopify directly. The wider Indian market runs roughly ₹20,000 to ₹40,000 for a basic build and ₹1.5 to ₹5 lakh for mid-range agency work.
How much does a business website cost?
A one-page site is ₹9,999 and a website of up to 20 pages is ₹29,999, both plus GST, with the first year of hosting, SSL, backups and security included and ₹7,999 a year from year two. The domain is registered in your name. These builds are priced for startups and new brands as much as for established ones.
How fast can my site go live?
A website or store goes live 48 hours after we have your content and your sign-off on the design. Your product data is usually the slow part, and we tell you before you pay if your catalogue needs work first. Marketplace accounts move on the platform's timeline, and quick commerce is slower again because a buyer makes the listing decision.
Can you run my store after it is built?
Yes. Store management is ₹9,999 a month plus GST: a catalogue of up to 1,000 products, 10 revision rounds, and monthly maintenance and support, on a three-month minimum.
Which marketplaces do you manage?
Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa and Meesho, each listed properly for that platform rather than copied across; quick commerce on Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart; and offline distributors and retail. Stock and price are kept correct everywhere, because wrong is expensive. Marketplace work is priced to the job after one conversation.
Should I sell on my own website or on marketplaces?
Both. Marketplaces give you demand you did not have to create and a faster first sale; your own store gives you the margin, the customer data and a business somebody would want to buy. Brands that pick one and ignore the other either grow slowly or grow without ever owning a customer.
What does a digital marketing agency cost per month in India?
For a small or growing brand the honest band is roughly ₹15,000 to ₹75,000 a month, depending on how much is actually being done for you. Alphamotion's search and content work is ₹14,999 (Essential), ₹21,250 (Growth) or ₹25,000 (Complete) a month plus GST. Paid media, social, creative, email and WhatsApp are priced to the job after one conversation. Ad spend is never in the fee: it goes on your own account, billed at actuals by Google or Meta.
I am spending on ads and still not making money. Is it the ads?
Often not. If you are already spending and still not making money, more marketing usually will not fix it. The cause is more often pricing, returns, stock going out of stock, or a checkout that loses people. The Scan is built to find which, before you spend more on top.
How is Alphamotion different from a digital marketing agency?
Prices are published, which caps what we can charge. There is no sales team and no account manager relaying messages: you deal with the person doing the work, and the work is built on years of our experience in the field. And the work covers the whole business around the marketing: the store, the marketplaces and where the money actually goes.
Do I own the website, store and accounts?
Yes, all of it. The store, the domain, the seller accounts, the analytics and the ad accounts are created in your name, and you can revoke our access at any time. Nothing needs buying back if you stop working with us.
Is there a contract or a minimum term?
Monthly services carry a three-month minimum, because nothing in marketing shows a result in four weeks. There is no lock-in beyond that. Builds and the Scan are one-off fixed fees.
Which businesses is Alphamotion right for?
Indian consumer brands scaling up, and international brands entering India. It is strongest in fashion and apparel, beauty and personal care, FMCG and food, and watches and jewellery; other categories are welcome and start with a call. The Deep Audit is scoped to businesses up to about 30 staff and 3,000 orders a month. For a very early business that has not yet found what sells, an audit is premature, and we will tell you so.
Do you work outside Mumbai?
Yes. Builds, marketing and audit work are done for brands across India and for international companies with an India operation. Being in Mumbai matters for the parts that need someone physically present: suppliers, warehouses, distributors and factory visits.
How do I start, and how do I pay?
Tell us what is stuck through the contact page or the assistant on the site. It starts with a short call and a fixed price in writing. Nothing is paid on the website: you receive an engagement letter and a GST invoice by email, and work starts on payment.
Tell us what is stuck.
One conversation, then a fixed price in writing — not a range and not a deck. You are talking to the person who will do the work.
