Shopping for a digital creative agency isn’t an easy feat, and if you are considering qualities to take into account when comparing prospective agencies, we’ve created this helpful list of things you should keep in mind.
An Up-to-Date Blog or News Section
A major component of successful SEO is a frequently updated site with fresh content, which helps your Google rank and lets the search engine know that you are an active website.
So when you are looking at an internet marketing company, be sure to take the time to go through their site and see if they’ve updated their blog or news section (hopefully, they even have one).
Content marketing has in recent years become one of the most important aspects of digital marketing, so an agency that can prove they know that is one to look for.
Good Company Culture That Matches Yours
While a company could provide a slate of services and cost you pennies on the dollar, if you don’t feel that their culture mixes well with what your business stands for, they may not be the right fit. Your teams are going to be working with each other for a long time, so it should be a top priority to feel out the culture of the digital marketing agency you choose.
- One of the best ways to get an inside look into an internet marketing company’s culture is through their social media presence, such as their Instagram account
- Having a positive, friendly, and fun web presence is important for a lot of companies, so working with a team that can have fun is greatly beneficial
Relevant Experience with Your Industry
You wouldn’t hire a mechanic that has never worked on an engine, would you? Well, the same goes for the digital creative agency you hire! It’s vital to explore what type of clients the firm you are looking into has experience with.
That doesn’t mean, however, you should completely rule out a company just because they’ve never worked with whatever your business offers. If you find a company that has a wide range of industry experience, it proves that they are able to tackle many different case types and can take on the challenge of your unique industry!
Hard Evidence of Successful Results
A digital creative agency can talk the talk, but how can you know that they can walk the walk, in that what they do will actually produce results?
Case studies, analytics, and portfolios are great ways for internet marketing companies to showcase how their skillset can manifest into success for your business.
