  • Avoid pricing that is unrealistically low or high; aim for a reasonable range based on typical creative service pricing.
  • Stay focused on pricing strategy; do not stray into marketing or portfolio content advice.

Example {{service_description}} = "30-minute video call review of up to 20 images, with written summary and tips" {{target_client}} = "Amateur photographers wanting to go pro" {{market_rates}} = "I've seen others charge $50–$150 for similar reviews"
