Reliability and Credibility: We meticulously check for client testimonials, industry recognition, and a solid track record. We don't just rely on online reviews; we delve into real-world feedback to ensure the agency has a proven reputation for delivering on its promises.
Budget Alignment and Quality of Work: We understand that budget is a key consideration. We ensure the agency's pricing aligns with your financial parameters, but we never compromise on quality. We evaluate their portfolio and case studies, ensuring we are genuinely impressed with the work and the results they provide.
Stability and Professionalism: We prioritize agencies that are well-established, with a team of dedicated employees on payroll. This indicates stability and a long-term commitment. We generally avoid freelancers, as we prefer to work with “brick and mortar” businesses, or those that closely resemble them, where experts are readily available.
Personal Connection and Trust: We invest significant time on the phone, getting to know the people behind the agencies. We believe in building strong relationships and only refer companies we have a genuine connection with and trust. We need to feel confident in their ability to deliver exceptional service and operate with integrity.
Industry Expertise: We also consider the agency's specific industry experience, making sure they have a proven track record within your specific field.
We employ a two-step approach to identify the best digital agencies for your business. First, we conduct a competitive analysis, examining your industry's leading companies to see which agencies are handling their marketing and web design. This gives us a strong understanding of the types of services and expertise that are effective in your sector.
Second, we leverage Google Maps and direct outreach, calling agencies locally to you, in major cities near you, and nationwide. We spend approximately 3-5 days conducting thorough research and cold calls, ensuring we explore a wide range of potential partners across all geographic areas. This combination of competitive analysis and comprehensive outreach allows us to present you with a carefully curated list of highly qualified agencies that align with your specific needs and budget, regardless of location.
SLMC Media earns a commission from the digital agency when a successful partnership is formed with a client we've referred. This allows us to offer our matching services to businesses completely free of charge. Our focus is on creating strong, mutually beneficial partnerships, ensuring both our clients and the agencies we work with thrive.
No, there is no limit. We will continue to refer you to companies until you feel completely comfortable with the fit. We're also happy to make any tweaks to the search criteria that you want us to, ensuring we find the perfect match for your business.
Absolutely not. If you're serious about taking steps forward in this space for your business, then we want to help you bring that vision to life. Ultimately, you can keep the information we provide you for a later date and keep it handy for when you are ready. Your feet are not held to the fire. We want to help you make an educated decision, with no strings attached.
You certainly could spend time searching online, but finding the right agency takes more than just a quick Google search. We invest significant time in truly vetting agencies, both locally and nationwide. There are countless talented agencies that work with almost any budget, but to find the "gems" that deliver the most reliable work, you need to make phone calls, have in-depth conversations, and understand their processes.
That's what we do. We spend hours on the phone, building relationships and uncovering the agencies that go above and beyond. We do the legwork so you don't have to, ensuring you're connected with agencies that are not only skilled but also truly dedicated to your success. And, you could do this yourself, but we offer to do it for free. So, why not let us leverage your project to find an eager team to work with, not just someone who cold-called you and caught you at a good moment?
