Which social media marketing agency in Portland, USA is Best?

Finding a social media marketing agency in Portland, USA that suits your requirements is not always simple. Using search engines to find agencies can often 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 issue, matching your business with the social media marketing agency in Portland, USA 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 came to realise that, despite appearing like the best choice, a client’s unique requirements frequently could not always be catered for by their chosen agency, with one or both parties often becoming unsatisfied with a lack of progress.

That is why we developed our innovative 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.

Through our competitive and fair platform, you may unearth an exciting social media marketing agency in Portland, USA that is not as visible when using typical agency sourcing methods. Here are just some of the unique areas that agency comparison can develop for your business:

Will There Be More Agencies Available to Me?

One of the more obvious and stand out benefits of our comparison tool is the increased range of agencies available to you by using it. By simply having more agencies available to you, the chances of finding one that fits your business’s requirements 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 social media marketing agency in Portland, 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 can allow for a more balanced overview of the options available to you. When placed side-by-side, you can quickly determine which agencies do and don’t work. By having agencies explain how they will approach your project, you can save time that might otherwise have been lost researching each agency or talking to them.

How does AgencyComparison Guarantee Effective Matching?

Another upshot that results from using AgencyComparison’s unique tool is that you have a significant amount of control over your relationship with your selected social media marketing agency in Portland, 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 is there to guarantee that your relationship is protected from the offset. By making sure that both parties are comfortable sharing their unique methods and thoughts with one another, the relationship can be sure to have no early limitations. Once you and your chosen supplier have signed the NDA, we strongly recommend that this is then uploaded onto the platform for each of you to see.

It may also be that, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with an agency’s progress for your project. Should this occur, 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 social media marketing agency in Portland, 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 considerably more insight into how each agency will approach your project and, resultantly, more control over the direction of the relationship.

With the ability to compare and contrast agencies through AgencyComparison.com without having to make a contractual commitment, you can greatly reduce the likelihood of a mismatch. Similarly, an agency’s work history and feedback is user-defined. So, unlike the hand-picked testimonials 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 social media marketing agency in Portland, USA, it can often be difficult to determine which is best for 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 is also a useful way to discover less-established agencies that may best benefit your project despite not having much of a track record. It may be, for example, that your project will will grow much more quickly from the specialist approach of a smaller social media marketing agency in Portland, 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, 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 provides the added advantage of less communication needed internally across teams or departments. By being able to have the same team member monitor projects across IT, Digital or Tech-related agencies, for example, the combined benefit of a range of projects can be more readily identified whilst time is saved that might usually be lost relaying information in meetings or across emails. 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 all agencies are able to have a platform. This means that, when searching for a social media marketing agency in Portland, 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, there is more competitiveness found in the quotes and pitches of suppliers. 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 social media marketing agency in Portland, USA that comes up in your search is selected intelligently. Utilising AI, machine learning and data science, you can be sure that your search will only show appropriate agencies.

How do I Begin Comparing Each social media marketing agency in Portland, USA?

Prior to beginning your agency comparison, it is worth considering your budget and the service that you require.

Why AgencyComparison.com?

Unlike the 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 both suppliers and clients can create accounts on for free, there are some agencies that consider AgencyComparison.com as a lead source. It is not, however, a lead gen platform.

As agency experts, our platform has been created to protect and develop the client-agency relationship at every step of the way. 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. With everything located in the same place, the risk of miscommunication or confusion can be reduced dramatically.

Aside from 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 social media marketing agency in Portland, USA, for example, can be done in a distinctly separate area away from any other ongoing projects you might be undertaking.
