A question we’re frequently asked is, “So… what do you actually do?” Honestly, this question isn’t very surprising. The nature of good marketing is the ability to learn and adapt to the ever-changing marketing environment. To be honest, the answer to the pressing and frequent question might differ tomorrow. As a business owner navigating this crazy industry while trying to also perform in other departments can be quite a task.

It’s important to go through the reviews and find out why they are being ranked a certain way.

Your potential agency can have a KPI of calls but if those calls don’t amount to revenue, then what’s the point? Don’t let rest on their laurels and actually listen to the calls yourself. If you don’t have time to do that, pay them to or use a software like Callrail who will transcribe calls for 2 cents a minute. From top to bottom, a digital agency should always show an increase in:
