Here is a list of handy questions you can ask any agency that you wish to partner with. 

  1. Do they have official partnerships with Google or any other top search engines?

Check if the digital agency has a Google Partner badge. If they do, you can be assured that it means they have employees certified in Google AdWords. This will help to get access to the digital marketing partner’s own Google agency team hence you will have your campaigns run based on the latest innovations.

  1. Do they have work outsourced or built in-house?

  1. How do they cope with industry changes?

Quality of work has to be delivered without the box thinking, to beat the competition. It would be good if the work you receive is top of industry standards. You need to ensure the agency has training conducted in regular periods for their internal team members and to the chosen members of your marketing team.

What awards have they won? What kind of innovations have they attained to meet the customer’s journey? Apart from the white papers and case studies on the website, check what the agency is proud of.

The agency should deliver easy-to-read and reports that can be analyzed that are self-explanatory. Ensure the metrics include CPC, ad positions, CTR, conversion rates of keywords, and landing pages. There should be ways to track ROI and paid campaigns.

  1. How many hours or days will they spend on each campaign?

If the payment to the agency is time-bound beware to get a transparent answer to this question. The amount of time dedicated to monitor, manage and optimize your campaign should be discussed before the campaign begins.

If it’s a fixed cost of the retainer, check what are the deliverables that are part of the retainer. Check-in detail such as, how many social posts are they to deliver in a week, how many of it is video, carousal, storied, and image posts. What are the terms if you have to exceed the number of creatives because of an unplanned campaign? How will the costs be allocated?
