How to Choose the Right Digital Marketing Agency for Your Business | Neil Patel

[@neilpatel]

Are you working with a digital marketing agency? How do you choose who to work with?

[@BilalAhmad-tl1mg]

Hi Neil, Like You What should we learn to become a digital marketer? OR What is necessary to become a digital marketer?

[@techzaada]

I hired an SEO agency called SEO Discovery for my website. it was an Indian company located in multiple cities of India. i paid them 450$ for on page and off page SEO. they were very responsive at the time but the result was very poor. before hiring these people, i did research about best SEO agencies for small business. and i saw this company in several places. that is why i went with them. and next time i will keep in mind the things mentioned in this video. thanks, Neil, I love your content. love and respect from Afghanistan.

[@Rankwatch]

If you are confused between the many digital marketing agencies out there, these tips are great. However, from another point of view, what about a small scale digital marketing agency, how are they going to get clients and create case studies or testimonials? Somehow a successful digital marketing agency always gets the benefit because brands trust them even when they have the same potential as a Digital Marketing Startup.

[@neilpatel]

That's a great question and a good idea for a future video :)

What about clients that has ZERO experience in digital marketing?

I'm wondering, how to choose the right digital marketing client for my business? | Alessio Giorgianni

[@neilpatel]

You need to be transparent with them and extremely realistic with expectations. A lot of the relationship building and trust comes from how you educate them as well.

[@punit5601]

You said to look for testimonials but as a digital marketing agency how can we approach big companies and get their testimonials? How did you approached google, facebook, etc???

Thanks Neil for a good video. With our online advertising agency / DMA / SMMA, we don't charge our customers upfront, have no contracts or commitments. We charge in arrears, so if our clients are not happy (unlikely), they don't have to pay. We can provide references too.

[@neilpatel]

That's very interesting! Are you liking that method from a business standpoint? Because Digital Marketing is a very slow game so I can see customers not being happy for months until they see results.

[@danielknights]

@@neilpatel Hi Neil. I posted a reply yesterday, but it didn't appear for some reason. We are living in Thailand. A couple of months ago, the Thai Government gave incentives to Thai people to travel domestically in Thailand. We got hired by 2 travel agents who were previously concentrated on the international market. We did some Google Ads in the Thai language which had very good results. As we were about to be paid, the campaign had to go on pause due to Thailand's 3rd wave of Covid. Anyway, we are now trying to target UK companies. Please let me know if you have any advice on finding new clients in the UK. We would be very grateful for any help you can give me (us). Thanks for your reply and all the best - Daniel

[@RJ-dz1hu]

So true if the website of a SEO company does not rank very good how can you trust them to do good work for you - I have asked myself this question many times before cause there are so many SEO specialists out there that can't even rank their own website how funny... but very true and then if you do an audit to delve a little deeper you find so many seo faults that you cannot understand how they survive doing SEO - I GUARANTEE YOU NEIL I THINK THERE ARE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE THAT WAS BURNED IN THE PAST then clients that actually benefitted with SEO services. Great topic cause this shit really happens a lot. I am in a different country than you and you rank no 1 here by us so that says a lot...

[@neilpatel]

Thanks for sharing. It is very true. People need to be a lot more careful with who they hire.

[@AngieStonesPhD]

I think many people are getting ripped off by "friend of a friend" who does a bad job but you can't ask for the money back. :) :) Especially for some of us who are not in "business" niche but education et. so our growth and subscription and skills in producing videos are lower because we want to do something "good". So I think that such small channels need a different mindset and different agencies than the normal business/sales channels. Just my 2 cents. :)

@Neilpatel agreed with all of the above. What would you say about the agency (like mine) that doesn't have the specialists for certain things but outsources to specialist agencies (white label) for those services? My approach personally to save on insurance costs was to hire out specialist companies that handle the technical stuff and can do a better job in that field while I concentrate on things like web design and CRO.

Does the agency have to be familiar with copywriting, or does the agency be able to help the customer find the real desires, needs from their customer and how the offer should be presented? Is that not much more important before the technical stuff comes in? Know the audience much better then anyone else and build a resistible offer for them. What do you think neil?

Yes, you agency should definitely be able to get to know the company and help them grow. However, don't make unrealistic promises or set expectations that will be impossible to meet. You want to make sure that it's going to be a good partnership between you and the client. That the client will fit will with your agency and what it has to offer.
