with over 1,000+ agencies claiming to be "the best" in Kerala, how do you choose the one that actually delivers results? This article unpacks the psychology behind agency trust, how to avoid costly mistakes, and the exact questions to ask before signing anything.
1. Know What You Need Before You Shop
- Are you looking for visibility? Go for SEO and content-driven agencies.
- Need fast sales? Choose a PPC or funnel-focused agency.
- Brand awareness? Social media and design specialists win here.
2. Proven Results Beat Fancy Words
Ask to see case studies with measurable results: traffic growth, ROI, leads generated. Agencies that talk only in buzzwords without proof are likely relying on templates — not strategy.
3. Red Flags Most People Miss
- They guarantee rankings — no real agency does this.
- No portfolio or only fake/testimonials? Walk away.
- No discovery session before quoting? They’re guessing.
4. Questions Smart Clients Ask Agencies
- Can you show results in similar industries?
- Who exactly works on my account?
- How do you report success?
The best agencies don’t just sell services — they co-create strategy with you.
