Ten questions to ask before hiring a marketing agency.
Shortlist Smarter. Choose Once.
Use these ten questions to compare proposals, check evidence and understand how an agency will work with your team. This is a selection guide, not a ranked list of agencies.
- 01
How will you understand our business and goals?
Discovery comes before a price list. Top agencies want to know your customers, margins and goals.
- 02
What evidence will inform your proposal?
A real proposal is based on your website, Google Business Profile, competitors and current ads.
- 03
Can you show relevant work with dates and sources?
Look for case studies with context: the problem, the strategy and the measurable outcome.
- 04
How will the proposed channels work together?
SEO, content, social and ads support each other instead of being sold as separate packages.
- 05
Who will produce and approve the content?
Ask which work is done by employees or partners, who reviews quality and how revisions are approved.
- 06
How will you approach local search in Patna?
Google Maps, reviews and locality targeting matter enormously for Patna businesses.
- 07
How will you distinguish handoffs from qualified leads?
Ask for separate counts of contact handoffs, received enquiries, staff-qualified leads and sales, with sources and reporting periods.
- 08
Who owns the accounts, creative files and data?
Your website, ad accounts, pages and data are always registered in your name.
- 09
What can you commit to without guaranteeing rankings?
No '#1 on Google in 7 days'. Honest forecasts and white-hat methods only.
- 10
How will you evaluate new search opportunities?
Top agencies now optimise for Google AI Overviews and AI assistants (GEO & AEO), not just blue links.

How to choose a digital marketing agency in Patna — FAQs.
Who are the top 10 digital marketing agencies in Patna?
Published top-10 lists vary and are often sponsored. The most reliable approach is to shortlist agencies that pass the 10-point test in this guide: discovery and audits first, real case studies, connected channels, in-house content, local SEO strength, lead-focused reporting, client ownership, no fake guarantees and AI-search readiness.
How many agencies should I compare?
Shortlist three to five agencies, ask each for an audit-based proposal with clear deliverables and KPIs, and compare them on approach and transparency — not just price.
Is a bigger agency always better?
Not necessarily. What matters is the senior attention your account receives, the quality of the team doing the work and how well they understand your market.
