What is a digital marketing agency?

A digital marketing agency is a business you hire to outsource your marketing efforts, instead of hiring an in-house marketing team. A marketing agency can usually offer various digital marketing services, including social media management, content marketing, marketing automation, graphic design, search engine marketing, and much more. 

You can work with a full-service digital marketing agency that usually offers a whole range of services or a boutique agency that focuses on specific digital channels or has a marketing niche. 

What does a digital marketing agency do?

A full-service digital marketing agency is focused on user experience, mobile, social, data analytics, and promotional and advertising services. They manage any number of digital channels, including social media marketing, digital marketing strategy, public relations, and PPC marketing, among others.

Let's discuss some of a digital marketing agency's main offerings:

Content marketing

A content marketing agency would usually do three things:

  • Content development: develop a content marketing strategy and a list of topics to write about for the next 3-6 months.
  • Content writing: write various types of content for your blog, website, and social media pages. Blog content creation usually involves the use of effective SEO strategies as well as graphic design.
  • Content management: manage the team of writers and editors who would bring your content from ideation to execution.

Search engine optimization

An SEO agency specializes in getting you more organic traffic from the biggest search engines like Google and Bing. Search engine optimization could include optimizing your on-page content, link building, digital PR, and developing a business content strategy.

Pro tip: SEO services can get pretty vague on paper, so make sure you know exactly how your SEO agency will optimize your ranking for each search query and how much traffic and SEO efforts they can bring to the table in the long term.

Social media marketing

Social media marketing services optimize channels, boost engagement, create/publish posts, and do video marketing and influencer collaborations. The goal is to increase online presence and organic traffic on platforms. It takes skill and a thorough understanding of various social media strategies to make viral posts that bring qualified leads—success requires experience in generating engagement and quality content.

Email marketing

Your email list is the best way to keep track of your customer data and connect with your potential customers. An email marketing agency can help create a comprehensive list of email strategies to improve your open and click-through rates and increase your email revenue.

Site optimization

Most digital agencies would also help you improve your website. They would run data analytics to find areas of improvement, provide design services to help you make minor modifications to your site based on that data, or manage an entire website if needed.

Performance marketing

Digital marketing agencies run ads on social media, search engines, marketplaces, and publishers. Some work with boutique agencies focused on a specific channel like Google Ads. The scope of advertising services depends on budget, project size, and industry. Offerings include Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, and Pinterest ads.

Digital marketing strategy

Many business owners rush to fix ads, forgetting broader strategy. The issue may not be your campaigns but your overall online marketing approach. Building a better digital marketing strategy will help focus efforts on high-ROI areas. This could involve SWOT analysis, competitor review, or examining your digital footprint.

The difference between a digital marketing agency and a digital advertising company

A digital marketing agency offers a comprehensive suite of services aimed at enhancing a brand's online presence across various digital channels. They focus on strategies that include content creation, SEO, social media engagement, and website optimization to foster long-term growth and brand loyalty.

In contrast, a digital advertising company specializes primarily in paid promotional activities. Their expertise lies in managing ad campaigns on platforms such as Google, Facebook, and other digital marketplaces to achieve immediate visibility and conversion goals.

The difference between a digital marketing agency for small and big businesses

A digital marketing agency for small businesses typically offers more personalized services, focusing on local SEO optimization, budget-friendly advertising campaigns, and grassroots social media efforts to ensure a high return on investment for limited budgets. They often provide flexible packages and hands-on support to nurture the business's growth from the ground up.

On the other hand, a digital marketing agency for big businesses usually manages larger-scale projects with expansive resources, utilizing advanced analytics, comprehensive multi-channel strategies, and extensive advertising budgets. Their focus lies in maintaining brand consistency across global markets, driving substantial traffic, and achieving significant brand visibility and engagement.

What is the standard budget for digital marketing?

The standard budget for digital marketing varies significantly based on the services required, the type of agency, and their level of expertise. Typically, businesses can expect to spend anywhere from $2000 to $5000 per month, but costs can be higher depending on the complexity and scope of the campaign.

For instance, a local business focusing primarily on search engine optimization and social media management may incur lower costs compared to a large corporation investing in comprehensive strategies across multiple channels, including advanced analytics and extensive advertising efforts.

Additionally, agencies with a proven track record and specialized expertise may charge premium rates for their services. Therefore, businesses need to understand their specific goals and budget constraints to find an agency to deliver the desired results within their financial limits.
