Looking for a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA that suits your requirements is not always simple. Relying solely on word of mouth or search engines can mean a series of false starts, wasting time and resources. AgencyComparison’s free and intuitive comparison tool has been created to meet this issue, matching your business with the search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA that it gels with best. To go through our step-by-step guide below, begin by registering with AgencyComparison for free.

 

What are the Benefits of Comparing Agencies?

Comparison tools have long been popular for a variety of services, resulting in a host of benefits for both suppliers and buyers. At AgencyComparison, we realised that the wants of a client and the capabilities of an agency do not always match one another, with one or both parties often becoming unsatisfied over time without growth.

It is because of this that we developed our unique comparison platform. Unlike comparison tools for energy or insurance providers that look solely for the cheapest deal available, our comparison tool has been developed to match agency and clients as accurately as possible whilst still considering budget. This is achieved by a variety of factors:

  • Our use of AI, machine learning and data science.
  • A thorough maintenance of accounts on our platform.
  • Our years of experience working with agencies from a range of sectors.
  • The intuitively simple design of our platform allowing buyers to search effectively.

By using our fair and competitive platform, you may find an exciting search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA that is not as visible when utilising typical agency sourcing methods. Here are just some of the areas that are benefited when using agency comparison:

Will There Be More Agencies Available to Me?

Perhaps one of the more obvious benefits of using our agency comparison tool is the breadth of agencies that are available to you by doing so. By simply having a variety of agencies to choose from, the likelihood of finding one that best meets your needs increases significantly.

With more established agencies often having the most noticeable presence online, it is easy to assume that they will have the biggest impact on a project. This, however, is not always the case. Every client has different needs and expectations. So, while the most well-known search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA has made a name for itself, this does mean that this will also be the case for your business. With a wide range of agencies to choose from on AgencyComparison.com, your business can effectively compare and contrast them with your business’s unique demands in mind. Whether this is an agency’s history, or its unique selling points, using our comparison tool provides a more balanced overview of your options. By placing a range of agencies side-by-side, those that don’t fit with your project can be quickly ruled out in favour of those better suited. By having agencies pitch to you how they work with your project, time can be saved that might otherwise have been wasted researching them yourself or talking with each of them.

How does AgencyComparison Guarantee Effective Matching?

Another advantage that results from using AgencyComparison’s unique tool is that you have a significant amount of control over your relationship with your selected search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA. From the tailored selection process that means you are able to choose the agencies that will most directly offer the most to your project, to relationship maintenance, we guarantee that clients will be satisfied with their supplier.

Once you have chosen an agency for your project, both you and your supplier will receive a mutual NDA template. This ensures that your relationship is protected from the beginning. By guaranteeing that both parties are comfortable sharing their unique ideas and methods with each other, the relationship can get off to as strong as start as is possible. Once this NDA template has been signed, we strongly recommend that this is then uploaded to our platform, for each party’s peace of mind.

It may also be that, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with an agency’s progress for your project. Should this be the case, we promise to mediate the relationship or, if required, find a replacement supplier. By having us mediate or switch over the contract, you do not need to worry about it being a drawn out process.

Will I have More Control by Comparing Agencies?

When searching for a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA through more typical routes, such as search engines or word of mouth, it is easy to commit to an agency without being told exactly what they will do for your project. When using AgencyComparison.com, you have much more insight into what an agency will do for your project and, therefore, more control over the relationship.

By being able to analyse the individual approaches of agencies side-by-side before signing a contract with any, you can be more confident in your choice from the beginning. Similarly, an agency’s work history and feedback is user-defined. So, unlike the very best reviews that will often be found on an agency’s website, all ratings are sourced from other projects they have taken on within AgencyComparison.com.

Project-Specific Pitches

With the dense marketing language and dense terminology that it is easy to come across when researching a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA, it can be a challenge to determine which is best suited to your project. When using AgencyComparison, your project comes first. By clearly outlining your project, you can quickly receive project-specific pitches from your favourite shortlisted agencies. This makes the selection process significantly easier. When an agency pitch makes clear how it will address the individual stages of your project, their merits are much more clear.

Project-specificity in the selection process also gives agencies that may be effective but less easily discovered a chance to pitch for your project. It may be, for example, that your project will will grow much more quickly from the specialist approach of a smaller search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA. This is especially true if your business works within an industry niche. Or, conversely, it may be better handled by the more straightforward full service approach of a larger agency. In any case, by comparing these pitches side-by-side, you will be able to determine who will benefit your project best and be easiest to work with.

 

Can I Manage More than One Agency?

AgencyComparison.com’s tracking capabilities allows users to manage a range of projects in the same place. This makes it easier to identify strengths and weaknesses of projects by being able to compare their varying progress. Simply visit the ‘Projects’ area of your account and analyse the progress reports of your projects side-by-side.

The ability to manage all projects within a single platform also means that time can be saved that is usually lost communicating the developments of various projects within a team. By being able to have the same team member monitor projects across IT, Digital or Tech-related agencies, for example, the business’s overall progress from a range of projects can be more easily determined whilst time is saved that might usually be spent relaying information over email or in meetings. This means that, not only can the management process become more consistent across projects, but there can also be a significant reduction in labour costs.

 

How are Agencies Sourced?

By allowing agencies and clients to register with AgencyComparison.com for free, we ensure that all agencies are able to have a platform. This means that, when searching for a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA, you will encounter a more varied range of suppliers beyond those that are more established. This accessibility also means that, just like comparison tools for other services, suppliers have more competitive quotes and pitches. With less-experienced agencies being able to directly compete with more popular suppliers, you unearth a much better deal than anticipated.

While there are a broad range of options when searching through AgencyComparison.com, our smart comparison tool will only show you those that are likely to fit your needs. This is because each search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA that comes up in your search is selected intelligently.

How do I Begin Comparing Each search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA?

Prior to beginning your agency comparison, it is worth considering your budget and the service that you require. Budget is particularly important as this will have a direct influence over which agencies pitch to you. With this in mind, having an in-depth understanding of your project’s requirements will make the selection process much simpler. This can be achieved by being as concise as possible in your project’s objectives. So, if you have a tender for your project already, this is worth uploading to your account.

Explore and Shortlist your Favourite Agencies

Why AgencyComparison.com?

Unlike the range of lead gen platforms and directories that exist for agencies, AgencyComparison.com is the first and only website that comprehensively compares suppliers for clients. As a platform that can be signed up to for free by clients and suppliers alike, there are some agencies that consider AgencyComparison.com as a lead source. This does not mean, however, that it is a lead gen platform. This is because, unlike lead gen platforms that sell leads to as many businesses as possible without considering their capabilities, our platform is there to assist in the effective sourcing and managing of agency contracts.

Our platform has been conceived with the protection and development of the client-agency relationship at its core. By keeping all aspects of a project within our platform, such as reports and even conversation between clients and suppliers, it can be much easier to identify growth and shortcomings. This guarantees that everything can be easily found when required and reduce the risk of any confusion.

Aside from the comparison and progress-tracking capabilities of our platform, it has also been designed with user interface in consideration. One clear way this has been implemented is by the clear division between the sourcing of agencies in the ‘Shortlists’ area of the platform and those that have been shortlisted already in the ‘Projects’ area. This means that your search for a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Austin, USA, for example, can be carried out in a completely separate area, away from any other projects you are currently undertaking.
