FAQ's

What exactly does a digital marketer do?

The short answer is that they should help you make more money. Digital marketing is what experts do to help your business bring in more customers through conversion-friendly web design, SEO, Google Adwords campaigns (Pay per click), Facebook advertising and more. These efforts improve your brand awareness and should have a strong return on your investment.

How much should I pay a digital marketing agency?

Naturally, this all depends on what services the agency provides. Different services require different feeds. For example, Google Adwords campaigns often have a management fee (what the agency charges to create and manage the campaign) plus the ad spend which goes straight to Google. It’s not unusual to see a management fee around $1000/month plus a typical ad spend may be around $1000/month as well. 

SEO fees depend upon the size of the geographical area you want your business to be seen within and the competitiveness of your industry. For example, local SEO services can average around $1000-$2000/month while national SEO campaigns can cost anywhere from $1800- $5000/month.

How do I choose a web design agency?

In short, you need to check their online reviews, examples of their work, case studies, and conduct in depth interviews. The agency needs to ask far more questions than you do in order to demonstrate their desire to better understand your business. It also helps if they have worked with other companies in your industry but this isn’t a necessity. You should also ask about all the fees involved to avoid any surprises. Find out exactly what is included in their fees to help you make a fair comparison across agencies. Always trust your gut in choosing the web designers that are right for you and your business.

How much do web design agencies charge for website design?

Fees for professional web design are all over the map. From $500 all the way to $100,000 or even more depending upon the size and functionality of the website. The average cost for a custom website around Atlanta ranges from $6000-$8000. At Make It Loud, our fees start much lower for a typical website for a small to mid-sized business.

Should I hire a web design agency or hire a freelancer?

By partnering with a web design agency, you have typically get access to a full team of digital marketing experts who can handle all aspects of your project. This allows you to tap into years of experience whereas hiring a freelancer confines you to only that individual’s experience. Both can have positive outcomes.

That being said, nearly 80% of the people that come see us at our retail location have been burned by a freelancer or other digital marketing “guru”. We tell you up front that we are not gurus- just people that have been helping business owners make money for more than 20 years now.

What is an SEO agency?

An SEO agency is a team of experienced people working together on improving your website to appeal to Google. The goal is to make your website “page one worthy” through great content, strong technical SEO and other strategies that the search engines are looking for to better the visibility of your business and bring targeted traffic through your digital front door.

What is the goal of SEO?

The main goal of search engine optimization is to bring the very people who are searching for what you do to your business website. Getting your website to consistently be seen on page one of the search results increases the chances of your site collecting more visitors. The more visitors you get, the more new customers you’ll receive.

Why is social media marketing important for businesses?

SMM helps businesses increase brand awareness, improve customer engagement, generate leads, and boost sales through targeted advertising and content marketing.

How can I create a successful social media marketing strategy?

A successful strategy involves setting clear goals, identifying target audiences, choosing the right
platforms, creating engaging content, and analyzing performance metrics.

How often should I post on social media?

Posting frequency depends on the platform and audience. For example, Facebook posts 3–5
times per week and Instagram 4–7 times per week tend to perform well.

What are Google Ads?

Google Ads is an online advertising platform by Google where businesses can create ads that
appear on Google’s search engine results pages, YouTube, and partner websites.

Why should I use Google Ads?

Google Ads helps businesses reach potential customers quickly, drive targeted traffic to their
websites, and increase conversions through paid search, display ads, and video ads.

Are Google Ads better than SEO?

Google Ads provides immediate visibility, while SEO is a long-term strategy. Both work best
when combined, as SEO builds organic traffic and Google Ads drives quick, targeted results.
