If you've hired an agency before and regretted it, you're not alone. Here's what a good one actually does.
They talk about jobs, not clicks
A good agency reports on booked jobs and revenue. A bad one buries you in impressions, clicks, and "engagement" that never fills a bay.
They understand body shops
The agency running ads for a dentist and a pizza place off the same playbook doesn't get insurance work, DRP programs, or how a collision customer chooses a shop.
They put skin in the game
The best ones tie their fee to results and back it with a guarantee. If they get paid whether or not you book a single job, your interests aren't aligned.
We guarantee booked jobs in 45 days or you don't pay. That's the difference between a partner and a vendor, see how the guarantee works.
Red flags to walk away from
- Long lock-in contracts before they've proven anything.
- Reports full of vanity metrics, no mention of jobs.
- No guarantee and no skin in the game.
- They work with any industry that pays.
