Hiring a Digital Marketer in Wembley: Company, Firm, Consultant or Freelancer?

Search “digital marketing company in Wembley” and you’ll find agencies, firms, consultants and freelancers, all promising more customers. They’re not the same. Here’s a quick way to choose.

The options at a glance

Option Best for Watch out for
Digital marketing company / agency Several channels at once, bigger budgets Junior staff doing the work after a senior sales pitch
Digital marketing firm Specialist teams, structured reporting Long contracts and reports full of vanity metrics
Digital marketing consultant Senior strategy and hands-on work, direct contact Limited capacity, so agree scope clearly
Freelance digital marketer One focused job, such as ads or social posts Gaps when they’re busy or unavailable

Six questions to ask before you sign

  1. Who will actually work on my account every week?
  2. How will you report results: cost per enquiry and sales, or just clicks and likes?
  3. Will the ad accounts, analytics and website be in my name?
  4. What will you do in the first 30, 60 and 90 days?
  5. Can you show results for a business like mine, with real numbers?
  6. How much notice do I need to give to stop?

Red flags: guaranteed first-page rankings, “we own the ad account”, contracts longer than three months with no exit, and reports with no link to enquiries or sales.

A simple budget rule

Work out what one new customer is worth to you over a year. If a marketer can bring customers in at a fraction of that, and prove it with tracking, they pay for themselves. If they can’t explain how they’ll measure it, keep looking.
