10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Marketing Agency

Before signing with any marketing agency, ask how they produce content, who owns execution, what gets reported, and which work is handled in-house versus outsourced.

The right agency should answer with specifics: deliverables, cadence, languages, approval process, KPIs, tool access and cancellation terms.

Use this checklist in sales calls. A strong provider should welcome these questions.
