Is it a Match? Do they put effort into truly understanding your brand, vision, and goals?
Transparency: Will you get clear reports that track the metrics that matter to YOU?
Custom or Copycat? Your plan should feel as unique as your business, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Working Style: Do their values and communication approach align with your company culture?
