Digital Marketing Agency: Hiring the right one

Can a digital marketing agency help you turn the phase of your business? In this article, we will discuss the points to keep in mind when looking for a digital marketing agency. Many aspects like SEO in digital marketing take a lot of time to bring the best results, which means that you need to have a long-term contract with a fellow digital marketing company. Thus, you must hire the right marketing company to get the expected results.

The digital world is competitive, and it is rightly said to let the experts do their work. If you look deeper into the aspects where your business needs improvement, there is a high probability that you might have lacked behind in marketing perspectives. If that is the case, then it is always better to plan and invest in a marketing strategy with a marketing company. We have seen many instances in which good companies with excellent products struggled to find a product-market fit and target the right audience, which resulted in an overall decrease in sales.

However, when companies like PAEZ approached us, we helped them target the right audience. Sometimes what you need is nothing but a helping hand who has spent a lot of time in marketing areas and made many mistakes and learned from them.

What is Digital Marketing Agency?

A digital marketing agency is an independent partner that helps you optimize various digital marketing channels to bring the best traffic, leads, conversions, and sales. Marketing plethora is an ever-changing process, and you have to dedicate your time to learn the new techniques and technologies involved in marketing. Thus, many companies prefer to work with digital marketing agencies to improve the sales funnel, find and correct any loophole in the strategy, and be a step ahead in the competition.

You would agree that the digital world is crowded, and even if you try hard to communicate with your prospects, you might not have been so effective. Well, that is the common problem we see with our clients. The right digital marketing strategy is when you put your customers at the center and communicate with them in the most personalized way. Our various campaigns have taught us one thing: to interact with the audience in ‘their’ tone and touch on their pain points instead of jargon.

How can a  help?

A digital marketing agency could help you interact with your ‘right audience’ at the customer’s preferred time, way, and platform so that you stand out in this competitive strata. The only differentiating factor between a successful online company and a struggling one is how they attract, impress, convince, and serve their audience.

Even if we talk about the classical 4Ps of marketing, that is, ‘product, price, place, promotion’, you would notice that all the steps in sales are equally important to convince your customer.

There are numerous digital marketing channels, but are they all necessary for your campaign? Should you be using paid ads campaign on each?

Well, the answer is it depends on where the right audience prefers to spend their time. An excellent digital marketing agency would help you create or improve your customer persona to be more close to your audience while interacting with them.

We at CodeDesign suggest our clients first deplete the channels that are more likely to be preferred by the customer persona.

What are the factors to look for while hiring a digital marketing agency?

A digital marketing agency is your marketing partner, and a lot of your success depends on who you have chosen to work with. It is vital to look for a suitable marketing agency with proven expertise in your niche. Most of the time, the problems you are facing were already solved by the marketing experts of the digital marketing agencies. Thus, when you have a pre-contract meeting, you must discuss your problems, expectations, and budget beforehand. Also, if the agency promises you something too good to be true, then it is a red flag for you to look for another one.

We at CodeDesign follow the best marketing practices and convey all the steps to be taken, the time required, and the possible outcomes to our clients to increase transparency. We believe the more transparent we are, the better the partnership is.

A marketing portfolio would help you to understand the expertise and skills of a digital marketing agency. Many companies prefer to only work with agencies who have previously worked with a company with similar problems. It might not be the best way to judge an agency because skills and solutions differ from company to company and niche to niche. You could obviously look at the previous clients, testimonials, problems, and how the agency solved them.

A portfolio is generally the showcase of the achievements and the best works done. If you are satisfied with the portfolio, you could take the next step.

The motive behind hiring a digital marketing agency is generally to work with a team of experts. You could look in the “About Us” page or at LinkedIn about the employees and analyze how right they could be for your work. Some of the agencies hire or outsource work to freelancers after winning a contract. You must avoid them and look for an agency with an in-house team of experts who are ready to have weekly or monthly meetings to ensure how everything is going. We at CodeDesign have an in-house expert team, and we have pledged to help our clients succeed in their objectives.

Services

Not all marketing agencies are the same. One might be an expert in B2B marketing, while the other might be excellent in B2C marketing. SEO experts vs. PPC experts, Amazon marketing VS Shopify marketing, etc., are examples of how the best services of an agency could differ from one to another.

Thus, how do you choose the right one?

Make a list of your requirements, the type of agencies to look after, and understand your objectives. Once you are in the meeting, make sure you get satisfactory answers and examples of past work that make the most sense. This is how you choose the best one in the market.

The expertise of the marketing company would be the factor to decide if your campaigns would succeed or not. Have a look at what the previous clients say about the marketing agency and the team. When you look at the portfolio and want to be double sure about the agency, you could also ask the previous clients what they have to say. If the clients advocate about the expertise, it means that the marketing agency is good. You might also take a step forward and hire a freelancer in the beginning to audit your website or campaign and list out the major issues.

You can use this data to cross-question the agency on what could be the solution for such and such issues. An expert team would welcome these questions and challenges. And, this is how you finally select the right one.

How can a digital marketing agency help in SEO?

You must have heard multiple times that SEO is the need of the hour, and you must be investing in this area. However, we want to break down what you need from an SEO digital marketing agency.

1 Keyword Research and On-Page SEO:

Keyword research is the primary aspect of any digital marketing strategy. A good plethora of keywords that could help drive traffic or sales to your website is a must. Not all keywords are suitable for your plan. Thus, a digital marketing agency could help you rank on your business’s most convenient terms. Tools like SEMRush, Ahrefs, Moz, etc., could help you overview the keywords.

On-Page SEO refers to the process of optimizing individual pages. Headers, meta descriptions, keywords in the text, interlinking structure, formatting, etc., are some of the elements that need to be optimized. CodeDesign would assist you in YouTube SEO as well.

2 Off-Page SEO:

Off-Page SEO refers to the process of manual link building, outreach, and other aspects that don’t remain in your control. Link building is still an essential aspect of SEO. Google counts backlinks as votes from different websites, which ultimately help in improving your rank.

Most SEO people outreach to websites that could either backlink to them or be interested in mutual backlink collaboration. Outreaching and link building is one of the most tiring aspects of SEO, with a bleak hope of success. However, it’s still important because your website’s reputation in Google’s eyes depends on the backlink portfolio.

3 Technical SEO

Technical SEO applies chiefly to the structure of your website. It encompasses elements like:

These are fundamental factors that developers should do right to formulate the SEO approach on a firm foundation. A technical site audit could bring all the problems to correct.

How can a digital marketing agency help in PPC?

Most digital companies administering PPC services implement a fully managed solution. They take on complete accountability for the day-to-day superintendence of online advocacy operations. Managed services agencies typically have several full-time assistants who are devoted to PPC. Along with building and optimizing paid online advertising campaigns across AdWords, Bing, Facebook, and other social platforms, if the agencies are also responsible for customer relationships, it is a plus point.

When looking for a PPC campaign, make sure they help you with conversion optimization.

What is Conversion Optimization?

Conversion is the process of converting website traffic to customers. Marketers could help in Conversion Rate Optimization by asking people to subscribe to your email list or submit contact forms so that you could keep in touch with them easily. Conversion optimization, also known as rate optimization, or CRO, is the process of optimizing your selling purposes to increase conversions.

Marketing is half-done without CRO. No matter how thriving your plans are, there’s always scope to improve your conversion rate and thus your deals. A custom conversion optimization solution is required for your business to increase leads and sales.
