Are you overpaying your marketing agency? Let's find out.
You pay every month. The reports look busy. But you can't actually tell whether the work is worth the money — or whether a fair-priced team would do more for less. Benchmarking is an independent second opinion on exactly that: what your agency does, what you pay, and whether the two add up.
We compare what you're paying against what you're getting — measured, not guessed.
The real scope behind the invoice — channels, hours, and deliverables — versus what you're being billed for. We separate work that moves the needle from busywork dressed up to look like value.
Retainer, management fees, ad spend, tool costs, and the line items that quietly add up — measured against current market rates for the exact same scope of work.
Whether the numbers they show you actually prove results — or just look impressive. Vanity metrics, cherry-picked date ranges, and the questions they're hoping you won't ask.
The results set against businesses like yours — are the outcomes in line with what your spend should buy, or is the money outrunning the work?
No hedging, no upsell — a verdict you can take straight to your next renewal.
A clear verdict on whether your spend matches the value — and, where it doesn't, a sense of by how much.
Your fees and results set against real market data for comparable businesses — so the verdict holds up under pressure.
A line-by-line read on which parts of the engagement earn their keep — and which you're funding for no return.
We don't sell marketing, and we don't want your agency's contract. We have no reason to tell you anything but the truth.
If "trust us, it's working" stopped being good enough — this is where you get proof.
Business owners who:
Most of what we need, you already have. The more you can share, the sharper the verdict — but even invoices and reports alone tell us a great deal.
Can't share everything? We work with what you have — invoices and a few reports are often enough to call it.
You tell us who you pay, how much, for how long, and what's been nagging you.
We review the work, the fees, and the reports, then benchmark all three against the market for your industry.
A clear answer — overpaying or fair — what's worth keeping, and exactly what to raise at your next renewal.
Tell us who you pay and what's been bothering you — we'll respond within 24 hours with scope, a quote, and a start date.
