Grow your business at a high pace by having all your digital marketing under one roof

 

Grow your business at a high pace by having all your digital marketing under one roof:

 

Are you a business owner and thinking about hiring an in-house digital marketing team to handle your social media, SEO, PPC and web design?

While you may think it is a good idea, it can cause more problems and headaches than it’s actually worth.

When you hire an in-house marketing team, you will be taking on more employees. This means providing more benefits and perks for people, paying more salaries and more opportunities for inconsistent messages to be sent out on your marketing channels.

It also means that you will be limited to the abilities and ideas of the team you hire. For example, what if your team does not stay in the loop with all the latest digital news?

What will happen to your website’s organic traffic if the people you hire are not the SEO experts they first claimed to be during their interview(s)?

How effective is your social media strategy going to be if your team only have experience using Instagram?

While hiring an in-house marketing team is not necessarily a terrible decision to make, it just is not the best decision to make in many instances. As a business owner, hiring a full-service digital marketing agency is the best thing you can do. But what are the benefits of having all your digital marketing under one roof though?

If you are currently looking into the possibility of partnering up with an agency, then it is important to understand what a full-service digital marketing agency offers. And how they compare to niche agencies.

What Areas Does a Full-Service Digital Marketing Agency Offer?

A full-service digital marketing agency can provide your business with a “one-stop-shop” solution for online marketing and advertising.

This type of agency (we are one of them!), will offer a complete suite of digital marketing services, ranging from SEO, PPC and web design to Email marketing and much more.

This means your business will benefit from a coordinated effort when it comes to your digital marketing and advertising initiatives. So, now let us take a brief look at the different areas that a full-service digital marketing agency can offer and what the benefits are.

SEO

Whenever a user makes a search query, Google looks at hundreds of different signals to decide which order the results appear in. Search engine optimisation (SEO for short) is a set of techniques that can help you improve where your website appears in the search results.

 

PPC

PPC (or paid search, which is sometimes what it is referred to) is the process of driving warm traffic to a particular website by purchasing ads on Google using specific keywords that are relevant to what is on offer on the website.

Social Media Management

Social media marketing  is an increasingly valuable tool in promoting a business. Establishing a strong and constantly updated presence on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter can increase traffic to a website together with driving leads and sales.

Content Marketing

Content marketing works by providing valuable information so that consumers have a better understanding of a business and the products and/or services they offer. If content is consistently delivered and provides value, then this can massively help with brand awareness and inspire brand loyalty.

Web Development

Great websites are not made by using template builders such as Wix or Squarespace. They are made by expert web developers, like the ones we have here at OKM Solutions. A custom-built website can increase conversions and help generate more conversions for the businesses that invest in one.

Graphic Design

Graphic designers within a digital marketing agency will have in-depth knowledge of various design areas including responsive design, colour theory and typography. They will have spent years working in design and culture, learning to generate captivating and engaging designs on behalf of their clients.

Videography

By as early as 2021, video content is predicted to make up over 80% of all web traffic. So, if you are not already investing in it now, then you should be to avoid getting left behind. Choosing a digital marketing agency to handle your video requirements means you will be working with an experienced team of creatives who can craft content that resonates with your target audience.

Email Marketing

Promoting your products and/or services via email is fast, cost-effective and a flexible way of communicating with customers and reaching new prospects. But one of the biggest issues that businesses face now is getting their emails noticed.

To create a high converting email campaign, you need a team of experts who can work together to ensure you generate the highest ROI possible.

You’ll Get Fresh Ideas

When you choose to handle your digital marketing in-house, your approach will be limited to the ideas that your team come up with. But, when you hire a full-service digital marketing agency, your business will benefit from an influx of fresh ideas that your employees may not have thought of.

While you know the ins and outs of your business better than anyone else, a digital marketing agency will see it from an entirely different perspective.

This alternate perspective means that an agency will be able to promote your business in a way that might have been overlooked by your in-house team.

Transparency and Honesty

Working with a digital marketing agency is a relationship – not like a typical supplier/customer relationship but more of a partnership. A digital marketing agency’s goals will be perfectly aligned with their client’s goals, but for this to work, there always needs to transparency and honestly.

Regular Reporting

Reporting makes up a huge portion of the relationship a digital marketing agency has with its clients. After all, it is not what they did that matters; it’s the results that they can prove.

A good digital marketing agency will consistently demonstrate value. They will do this by proving their work and how their actions have helped their clients succeed.

Your Focus Can Remain on Growth

Hiring a digital marketing agency means that as a business owner, you can remain focused on scaling your business. Sure, a big part of this includes digital marketing. But the majority of this can be taken off your shoulders when you have a reliable team doing the majority of work on your behalf.

It’s Cost-Effective

The team within a digital marketing agency is the company’s biggest asset. Their years of experience and niche knowledge make them invaluable to their clients.

This expertise is costly for a business to hire in-house, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. They may not need their website updated regularly or a dedicated member of staff to handle their social media accounts.

While it is important for all businesses to have a presence online, the digital marketing support they need will mainly depend on their size.

Therefore, hiring a digital marketing agency is far most cost-effective, freeing up your budget for other important things like acquiring new customers, not on team overheads.

You will Receive a Consistent Service

When you hire a single digital marketing agency to handle all your marketing needs, there is no need to have concerns about consistency.

However, if you have individual employees currently handling your marketing, then there would be a cause for concern because they may send out conflicting marketing messages through their retrospective platforms and channels.

A digital marketing agency will create a robust strategy that will include consistent messages across your various platforms and channels. They will create PPC and social media ads that use the same colours and tag lines to ensure your brand is recognisable in the sea of competition.

This will ensure misleading messages do not confuse your target audience or deter them from spending money with your business.
