Stranded vs Etna Interactive

The short version

Stranded is a New York marketing agency that publishes a price list of named packages: monthly plans across SEO, Google Ads, paid social and all-in-one work that includes email marketing, plus web design priced separately. Its services list also covers fractional CMO work. Etna Interactive is a fully remote agency for medical and aesthetic practices selling website design, SEO, advertising, reputation management, content and email marketing; it publishes no prices and no contract length. Stranded states its minimum term and lists email support; Etna states its support hours and that clients own all their assets if they leave. Both offer a free first step before you commit: a strategy call at Stranded, a free online marketing assessment at Etna.

Pricing

Stranded publishes a starting price of $695/mo for its SEO Essentials package. Its pricing page lists Google Ads management or paid social on one platform at $1,250/mo each, all-in-one packages at $2,500/mo, $3,500/mo and $5,000/mo, and web design and development at $6,000 - 10,000. It charges a flat monthly retainer rather than a fee based on ad spend; the ad budget is billed by each ad platform. The site does not state a setup fee.

Etna Interactive's site does not publish prices, packages or how it charges. It says a deposit is taken with the signed proposal; the amount is not published.

You can put Stranded's numbers against your budget before talking to anyone; with Etna, prices and the deposit amount both need a call.

Contract and cancellation

Stranded's site says plans start with a 6-month agreement and move to month to month after that. It does not publish cancellation terms.

Etna Interactive's site does not state a minimum term or its cancellation terms. It does state that clients own all their assets if they leave. Stranded's site does not say who keeps the website, the ad accounts or the analytics when the work ends. Put that question to both in writing before you sign.

Built for med spas

Both agencies run a dedicated med spa marketing page.

Stranded works with companies in many industries and names two med spa clients on its page: The FITZ Aesthetics, where it reports new client bookings rising from 15 to 40 per month, and Scottsdale Med Spa. Its med spa work covers SEO, Google Ads, email, paid social and city pages for competitive med spa markets.

Etna Interactive has been building marketing experience since 2002 and focuses on online marketing for medical practices and med spas. Its site lists a before-and-after gallery platform (Curator B&A), staff training for customer experience and review cultivation, and med spa website design. Its client spotlights name four clients, including plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Camp, where revenue has more than tripled since 2016 and website traffic is up 735%. The site does not name a med spa client.

Which one to look at first

Look at Stranded first if you want package prices published on the site, want fractional CMO work alongside SEO and ads, and an initial 6-month agreement suits you.

Look at Etna Interactive first if you want an agency for medical and aesthetic practices, a dedicated account executive, phone support in published hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), and a written statement that you keep your assets.

Ask Stranded who owns the assets and what the cancellation terms are; ask Etna for prices and the minimum term. See every option in marketing agencies.
