What should I look for when hiring a digital marketing agency?

Shared Slack channel, direct access to the people doing the work, and a standing meeting cadence you choose. No account managers relaying messages. The person you talk to is the person building the thing.

Initial ranking movement typically appears within 60–90 days. Meaningful traffic growth takes 3–6 months. The compounding effect — where existing content accelerates new content — usually kicks in around month 6. We track and report monthly so you can see the trajectory, not just the snapshot.

Monthly, with specific recommendations attached. Not a PDF of charts — a document that says "here's what happened, here's what it means, here's what to do next." If something urgent surfaces between reports (a campaign tanking, a traffic spike worth capitalizing on), you'll hear about it immediately.
