Finding a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland 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 effort in the process. AgencyComparison’s free and intuitive comparison tool has been developed to counter this problem, matching your business with the search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland that it fits 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 existed for a variety of services providing a host of benefits for supplier and client alike. 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 disappointed by a lack of results.

It is because of this that we developed our innovative comparison platform. Unlike comparison tools for energy or insurance providers that focus on finding 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 Belfast, Ireland that is not as present when using typical agency sourcing methods. Here are a range of areas that are benefited when using agency comparison:

Will There Be More Agencies Available to Me?

Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of our comparison tool is the range of agencies it makes available to you. By simply having a variety of agencies to choose from, the likelihood of finding one that best meets your needs increases significantly.

With larger, more established, agencies being by far the most talked about or visible, it is easy to assume that they will automatically be the most capable. 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 Belfast, Ireland 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 can allow for a more balanced overview of the options available to you. 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 much greater control over your relationship with your selected search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland. 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 ensure that clients will be satisfied with their supplier.

When an agency has been chosen for your project, you and your supplier will both 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 methods and thoughts with one another, the relationship can be sure to not have any early hindrances. Once completed, we strongly recommend that the NDA is 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 happen, we promise to mediate the relationship or, if required, find a replacement supplier. This means that you do not need to worry about a drawn out process when switching suppliers for your contract should you be unsatisfied.

Will I have More Control by Comparing Agencies?

When searching for a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland through more typical routes, such as search engines or word of mouth, it is common to commit to an agency without their approach to your project being properly demonstrated. When using AgencyComparison.com, you have significantly more insight into what each 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 complex terminology and marketing jargon that it is easy to encounter when researching a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland, it can be a challenge to determine which is best suited to your project. When using AgencyComparison, your project comes first. By outlining your project in detail, any pitches you receive from your shortlisted agencies will address its requirements directly. 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 Belfast, Ireland. 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, when agencies are compared side-by-side, it is easier to determine who will add the most to your project.

 

Can I Manage More than One Agency?

With AgencyComparison.com’s tracking capabilities, you are able to manage all of your 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 go through each project’s progress reports in sequence.

The ability to manage all projects within a single platform also saves the time that can be easily lost in communicating the progress of projects to various departments. 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 coherent 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 everyone has an equal platform to tender services on. This means that, when searching for a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland, you will be able to analyse a range of agencies beyond those that are already 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 may find that you receive 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 Belfast, Ireland that comes up in your search is selected intelligently. Utilising AI, machine learning and data science, we will only highlight those that are likely to fit with your project.

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

Prior to beginning your agency comparison, it is worth considering your budget and the service that you require. Your budget is important as this will determine which of your shortlisted agencies pitch to you. With this in mind, thoroughly understanding what it is that you require from an agency will assist you in making your selection. This can be ensured 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.

Add details to your profile

Similarly, adding a link to any reviews or testimonials about your business will help establish your business to any interested suppliers.

Search and shortlist agencies

After doing this, return to the home page, select a service from the drop down menu and then enter in your post code or city. Doing this will ensure that every search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland that suits your requirements is shown.

Refine your search

Filtering your search can be useful way to omit any agencies that you know you will not want to research, such as those without a history or with low ratings. Similarly, it can be useful way to rediscover a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland that you had previously liked but forgot to shortlist. Simply sort results alphabetically if you can remember the name of the supplier or search by keyword.

Explore and Shortlist your Favourite Agencies

 

To start the next part of your comparison, visit the profiles that you like the look of most. An agency’s rating, work history, feedback, and certificates are all worth consideration at this stage. Should you like the profile of a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland after looking over it, return to your search results and click ‘Add to Shortlist’ at the right of the profile. Once you have shortlisted an agency, they will be included within your comparison, meaning that you will receive quotes and pitches should they be interested in the project.

 

 

Create a project

Before you can request quotes from your shortlisted suppliers, however, you must create a project. To do this, click ‘Projects’ at the top right of the home screen whilst signed in. Once you have done this, you will be on a page like the one above. From this page, click ‘Submit New Project’ from the menu bar along the left side of the screen. Once on this page, you will need to enter some details relating to your project:

  • Minimum and maximum budget
  • The project’s specific service requirements
  • A proposed start date
  • Details about your project – this can be in the box provided or, should you already have a tender, this can be attached as a document.

After inputting this information, click ‘Submit’. This will then send an alert to your shortlisted agencies about your project. As pitches can take a while to prepare, it is advised that you have your email alerts enabled so you know when they have been received. Accounts will receive email alerts by default, so you will only need to change this if you disabled email alerts when signing up.

 

Select from pitches

To begin looking through your proposals, simply visit your account’s ‘Projects’ area and then click on ‘Pending Proposals’ from the menu along the left. Once you arrive on this page, you will be able to go through the pitches you have received and accept or reject them at your own speed. When you have accepted a proposal, your project will become live and can be seen in the ‘Active Projects’ area. Within this area, there are a number of other features to take note of:

  1. Invoices – Manage the financial side of your relationship with a search engine marketing (SEM) agency in Belfast, Ireland
  2. Leave Feedback – Detail your experiences with any agencies that you have worked with
  3. Project Reports – Analyse the results of your project
  4. Chat Conversations – Communicate with suppliers within AgencyComparison.com’

This is particularly helpful if you have a number of active projects that you would like to manage side-by-side. Tracking various elements of a project in our platform means that issues and growth can be identified quickly.

 

Invite existing contacts

If you happen to have a shortlist within AgencyComparison.com but would like to compare an agency that does not have an account with us, you can sent them an invite to sign up. This is especially useful when trying to select an agency by being able to compare pitches within the same place. This is also useful as, should you prefer an agency’s pitch that does not have an account with us, your relationship with them will be protected once they sign up and complete the contract on our platform. This can help make the tracking of a project’s progress much more straightforward and can also mean that switching suppliers is not as difficult should there be any issues in the future.

Why AgencyComparison.com?

Whilst there are a number of lead gen platforms and directories that serve as platforms for agencies, AgencyComparison.com is the first and only website that allows clients to comprehensively compare suppliers. As a platform that allows suppliers to create accounts for free, there are some agencies that consider AgencyComparison.com as a lead source. It is, however, by no means a lead gen platform. This is because, whilst lead gen platforms will sell leads on to as high a quantity of businesses as possible irrespective of their quality, our platform is oriented around the effective sourcing and managing of agency contracts.

Our platform has been made to ensure that client-agency relationships are protected and strengthened at every stage. 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 ensures that all of a project’s important parts can be easily located, reducing the risk of confusion.

Other than the comparison and progress-tracking capabilities of our platform, it has also been created with user interface in mind. 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 Belfast, Ireland, for example, can be carried out in a separate portion of the platform away from any ongoing projects you may already be involved with.
