When you hire a content marketing agency, we know you have choices. Here are some questions to ask before you hire a marketing agency to handle all the online marketing for your business.
- How long has the company been in business?—The Internet is no longer “new” technology. Look for an online marketing agency with a proven track record for improving their clients’ page ranks and sales.
- Is it a full-service online marketing agency?—You want to hire a company that will work with you to create a comprehensive marketing strategy, provide the content you need for your website, test the content for maximum benefit, track the results and make changes as needed.
- How good is their Content Management System?—Their CMS should be reliable so you’ll get the new content you need when you need it.
- Are they up to speed on social marketing?—The Web is about so much more than tossing content out there and hoping it sticks. Can the content marketing agency you select help you create the community you need to build brand loyalty and generate sales?
- Is the company up-to-date on SEO best practices? —Search engine algorithms change constantly. You need a company that can keep up, to keep your website at the top of the search engine rankings.
- What does their portfolio look like?—Can they show a range of diverse clients—or clients with needs similar to yours? Do the items in their portfolio mesh with your corporate culture? Based on their past work, do you like the way the marketing agency’s employees think—and write? Finding a marketing agency that takes the time to understand your company culture may be the most important factor when selecting a firm to create marketing content for your website.Â
