What to look for in a email agency
- Senior specialists doing the work — not a rotating cast of juniors
- Transparent reporting tied to revenue, not vanity metrics
- A clear strategy and roadmap, not a generic checklist
- Case studies and references in your industry or market
- Flexible, month-to-month terms that earn your trust
Red flags to avoid
- Guarantees of #1 rankings or specific results (no one can honestly promise this)
- Long lock-in contracts with no performance accountability
- Vague reporting that hides what's actually happening
- Suspiciously cheap pricing — it usually means junior, templated work
- No clarity on who actually does the work
Questions to ask before you sign
- Who specifically will manage my account, and how senior are they?
- How do you measure and report on email marketing & automation?
- Can I see results you've driven for businesses like mine?
- What does your onboarding and first 90 days look like?
- What are your contract terms, and can I scale up or down?
