Before picking up the phone, you need to have your own checklist in place of questions you need to be addressed. Here’s what we feel are important considerations when selecting the agency you will be investing in to build your business.

Your Digital Marketing Agency Checklist:

Track Record:

Can your prospective agency prove they are up to the work with proven results that they can share from managing campaigns of their clients? If you are told that this information is confidential, move on. Some clients want to maintain their trade secrets, sure, but many clients are only too happy to openly endorse their digital service provider. If you see the agency listed on a review site, with cited reviews, they are likely more reliable.

Actions speak louder than blag, so do not take the word of your potential partner. Do they boast awards that amount to marketing industry scale validation? If experts in the marketing sector rate your potential partner, this gives you a significant measure of confidence that you are likely to experience a strong return on ad spend (ROAS).

Expertise:

Ask for detail about how they have helped companies similar to your own. This helps you assess their expertise in your sector and gives you the confidence they can bring relevant industry data to the table by which to benchmark your own company’s performance. This level of expertise gives your company leverage against competitors. Diverse, cross-sector experience is helpful too, but cannot compare to the value of industry-level insights, which can cut schedules for profitability and boost returns.

Communications:

Key to your success is collaboration and regular communications with a consistent account manager, whether by telephone, or digitised reports, but ideally both. If your service provider offers you access to a customisable flight-deck to see results in real time, you can be confident of their transparency, while also enjoying the learning offered by seeing real-time campaign overviews, or granular performance detail.

Reliability of data means effective, realistic reporting, where you can measure results of your investment. If progress reports and meaningful data are lacking, you have no way of managing your marketing budget effectively. You need to know what is working, when and why, in order to adjust other aspects of your operations accordingly, be that inventory, or staff deployment; this demands regularity and reliability of communications. Pivots have to be made based on clear and objective decision-making to reduce your business risks. Steer clear of agencies trying to bamboozle you with tech-speak.

Service Offering:

Each business has different and unique marketing requirements, given the vast array of circumstances and market conditions. It is essential that your prospective marketing partner can deliver for your specific needs.

Have ready a list of your current assets to enable effective marketing and usable data, plus your list of objectives for the short, medium and longer term. Ask how those assets and aspirations can be built on with their marketing recommendations. Having the confidence that your provider can build on your expertise with their own is a no-brainer. It doesn’t matter if they cover all aspects of marketing or not, just whether their expertise has you covered in ways that count for your own plans.

Comprehensive, Adaptable Plans:

Marketing online is increasingly competitive and highly sophisticated these days, as often is your business. If an ad agency offers to undertake a comprehensive audit of your business in relation to customer experience and marketing presence and will do this for free, then you know not only that they are keen to work with your company, but that they will have a detailed appreciation of the base you are working from.

Their recommendations in a marketing plan should be equally detailed, but flexible enough to adapt to the rapidly evolving marketing landscape your business operates in. Your marketing agency should demonstrate they have the expertise to refocus and adapt to changes happening for your business rapidly, to maximise returns on your marketing budget.

Now, you are ready to take a look at some of our top digital marketing agencies in the U.K. industry.

About ADSRUNNER:

Hi! I’m Sam Nouri, the founder of AdsRunner.

After working in e-commerce for nearly a decade and successfully managing over $10m+ in ad spend for several online businesses in different niches, I was persuaded by various clients and associates it was time for me to start my own agency to offer businesses a full-funnel digital marketing service.

Online businesses are increasingly under pressure, as it’s becoming ever more expensive to run ads and generate ‘high-intent’ traffic that hit your Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) targets. Frankly, whatever the marketing agencies tell you, in order to maximise your spend with them, heavily investing in advertising and marketing alone just doesn’t cut it anymore. If, like many of the clients who come to us after struggling with a lack of in-house expertise, or who are frustrated with experiences of sub-contracting to others, you too are not seeing the results you’re after, you might just have been knocking on the wrong doors, or failing to ask the nuanced questions that lose you marketing budget.
