Marketing Freelance Evidence Hub
Use occupation evidence as a planning anchor for strategy, search, social, lifecycle, research, and campaign work—not as a promised client price.
Catalog coverage
10 core occupations · 175 searchable aliases · 9 records with official U.S. percentile evidence
Official employee-wage P50 range among those empirical records: $35.94–$80.19/hr. This is a catalog range, not an observed freelancer-rate distribution.

How to use this category
Choose the closest core occupation, then inspect its national occupation mapping and limitation. TransparentRate applies the provisional ×1.75 planning coefficient once; it does not add an experience, client-market, geography, purchasing-power, or category premium.
Why aliases do not get separate pages
Tool names, specialties, and near-synonymous job titles resolve to these core occupations inside the calculator. Keeping one evidence page per selected core occupation avoids thin duplicate landing pages and keeps source corrections centralized.
