What is a digital marketing agency?

A digital marketing agency is a groups of specialists that focus on improving the online presence of clients. Digital marketing agencies work exclusively with online marketing mediums, offering social media and SEO services rather than magazine ads, for instance. Through a targeted approach, digital marketing agencies aim to assist clients in engaging new audiences.

How much does a digital marketing agency cost?

The hourly cost of working with a digital marketing agency varies depending on the scope of your project, services offered, where the agency is headquartered, and project timeline. However, companies should expect to spend a minimum of $100 per hour with a digital marketing company. Larger firms may charge over $300 per hour, but most digital marketing agencies will cost between $100–$300 an hour.

What questions should you ask your digital marketing agency?

How much will my project cost? What is your process for optimizing content? What tools do you use for SEO and link building? What is your projected timeline for this task? Who are some of your past clients? Do you specialize in any industries? Have you worked in our industry before? Will we have a project manager or will we be communicating with specialists directly? Does our contract include design services? Who will be working on our project? Do you intend to outsource any digital marketing services for our project? What project management tools do you use? How often will we meet? Who is our main point of contact? When do you think we’ll start seeing results from your work?

What agency is best for digital marketing?

There are tons of options out there, but the best digital marketing agency will be one that meets your technical and operational requirements. There are plenty of firms with hard skills, but you want to make sure you connect with one that fits your geographic, budgetary, and project management needs. The Manifest evaluates the best digital marketing agencies and rounds them up on a monthly basis. Our proprietary scoring methodology and filtering options means that you can easily connect with digital marketing companies that meet all of your needs.

How do you evaluate a digital marketing agency?

Companies should evaluate digital marketing agencies by keeping their requirements front and center. Are you looking for a digital marketing agency that’s located in a certain area? Do you want a team to use a particular project management tool? Having non-negotiable requirements up-front will help you connect with experienced agencies that are perfect fits for your project.

Is it worth hiring local digital marketing companies, or can they be based somewhere else?

Yes, hiring a local expert in digital marketing for businesses, especially those targeting local customers, is worth it. Local service providers can meet with you in person and discuss popular strategies and trends in your area. They also have the latest information about the local market. However, remote companies provide incredible services, global reach, and competitive price points for companies looking for more variety, which may make them contenders for some businesses.

What kind of ROI (return on investment) should I expect when hiring digital marketing companies?

Businesses should anticipate seeing a tangible return on their investment when partnering with a digital marketing agency if the right measures and resources are implemented. This could include better conversions and online visibility. Companies can also expect improved performance levels compared to competitors thanks to data-driven insights gathered through extensive research and analysis conducted by experienced professionals.
