What a Marketing Agency Offers

When a marketing agency approaches you, they typically offer services focused on SEO (Search Engine Optimization), paid ads, and content management. Here’s a breakdown of what to look for in each of these areas.

SEO for Deck Installation Business

The platform your website is built on is crucial. I highly recommend using WordPress. It’s open source, meaning you own your website and can easily switch providers if needed. Avoid proprietary platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify, which can lock you into working with the agency.

Keep your website hosting separate from your marketing agency. Purchase your own hosting plan from providers like Bluehost, HostGator, or GoDaddy. This ensures you maintain control over your site.

Backlinks are links from other websites to yours and are a significant ranking factor for Google. Ask your agency:

How many backlinks will you provide monthly?
Are these backlinks citations (e.g., Yelp) or from relevant websites?
What is the quality (domain rank, page rank) of these backlinks?

Poor-quality backlinks can harm your site’s ranking, so ensure they are from reputable sources.

Website optimization involves enhancing your site to rank better in search engines. This includes:

Internal links: Linking your pages together to improve navigation and SEO.
Content updates: Regularly updating your site’s content to keep it fresh.

Ensure the agency provides detailed information on their optimization process.

Content management can include creating blog posts, social media updates, and managing your Google My Business profile. Ask the agency:

How many blog posts will you create monthly?
Will these posts be shared across all my social platforms?
Is the content high-quality or AI-generated?

Reputation management involves responding to reviews and managing your online presence. Verify if the agency will:

Actively manage and respond to Google reviews.
Engage with customers on social media.
Help book appointments or manage customer interactions.

Paid Advertising for Deck Installation Business

If you have the budget for paid ads, it’s a quick way to generate leads. However, ensure the ads are managed correctly.

Google Ads & Facebook Ads To Generate Deck Installation Leads

Ensure the ads are run on your account, not the agency’s. This way, you retain all data and ad history. If the agency runs ads on their account, you’ll lose everything if you part ways.

Split costs between setup fees and ongoing management fees. Setting up Google Ads campaigns takes a few hours, while maintenance requires less time. Negotiate a fair rate based on the actual work involved.

Some agencies promise cheap leads but deliver low-quality prospects. Ensure the leads generated are relevant and valuable for your business.

Marketing Ideas for Deck Installation Companies Without an Agency

Before hiring a marketing agency, consider learning how to manage lead generation yourself. No one cares about your business as much as you do.

Invest time in learning digital marketing basics. The knowledge will help you make informed decisions and potentially save money.

Join a coaching program like Local Service Mastery to gain structured knowledge and support. These programs can fast-track your learning and provide you with proven strategies.

Once you’re knowledgeable, hire virtual assistants to handle maintenance tasks. This ensures dedicated support for your business without the high costs of an agency.

Conclusion

Mastering lead generation and marketing is crucial for your deck installation business’s success. While hiring a marketing agency can be beneficial, it’s essential to understand the process and ask the right questions. Consider learning how to do it yourself first, then delegate tasks to trained assistants. This approach ensures you maintain control and maximize your investment.
