The short version
Subscribe PR sells answer engine optimization in three published monthly tiers, plus press placement add-ons, and has med spa pages for digital PR and AI search. DAGMAR Marketing sells SEO, local SEO, AI optimization, pay-per-click management, content development and link building, covers medical spas inside a plastic surgery section, and publishes no prices. Both work across many industries and reach med spas through niche pages rather than as specialists. Subscribe PR names its founder, Caleb Hellinger, and does not state where it is based; DAGMAR Marketing names founder Chris Gregory, says it was founded in 2011 and publishes its Jacksonville, Florida address.
Pricing
Subscribe PR publishes every price on its services page: Essential at $1,950/mo, Expert at $2,950/mo and Executive at $3,950/mo. The tiers come with stated monthly output: 30, 60 and 90 targeted blogs a month, and the top tier adds community seeding on Reddit and Quora. Two press add-ons stack on any tier: Standard Press at +$995/mo and Elite Press at +$3,995/mo, each for 1 to 2 placements per month. Its site does not state a setup fee.
DAGMAR Marketing publishes no price, no plan list, no setup fee and no extra costs. Its site offers a free strategy consultation; Subscribe PR offers a free AI visibility audit.
Contract and cancellation
DAGMAR Marketing states its terms on its plastic surgery pages: its site says it uses no long-term contracts and works with plastic surgery clients on a month-to-month basis. It does not state a cancellation notice period.
Subscribe PR states its commitment two ways. Its services page says billing is monthly and you can cancel with 30 days written notice. Its home page FAQ says three months minimum. Ask which applies to your retainer before you sign.
Built for med spas
Subscribe PR has two med spa pages, one for digital PR and one for answer engine optimization. The med spa work it lists covers pitching beauty and lifestyle press on treatments, RealSelf and review platform optimization, and treatment-level AI search visibility, and its answer engine optimization page addresses single-location med spas. Its med spa pages do not name a med spa client; its case studies name Sadhana Health and Bot-It.
DAGMAR Marketing reaches medical spas through a local SEO page for plastic surgeons and medical spas. It names three clients with results: Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery at a 142% increase in organic conversions, Casas Aesthetics Plastic Surgery at a 60% increase in website clicks from Google search, and Jeffrey Epstein, MD, FACS at a 779% increase in contact form conversion rate. Its site does not list med spa specific deliverables of the kind Subscribe PR describes.
Which one to look at first
Look at Subscribe PR first if you want a published monthly price before you get on a call, and press placement add-ons and AI search tracking in one retainer. It lists support by email and call booking. Because its minimum commitment is stated two ways on its own site, get the term in writing.
Look at DAGMAR Marketing first if month to month with no long-term contract matters more than a published price, and you want case studies from named plastic surgery practices. It publishes a phone number and office hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00. To learn what it costs you have to ask; its site offers a free strategy consultation.
Neither site publishes third-party reviews, and neither states who owns the work it produces. Ask both about ownership before signing. See the rest of the field in digital PR and SEO.
