Frequently Asked Questions
When should a company hire a performance marketing agency?
When growth is stalling, CAC is rising, attribution is broken, or the internal team lacks senior media buying expertise. Most companies hire an agency once monthly ad spend exceeds $20,000–$50,000.
What does a performance marketing agency actually do?
A performance agency runs paid acquisition end-to-end: strategy, channel selection, media buying, creative testing, tracking, attribution, optimization, and reporting.
How much budget do I need for performance marketing?
Test budgets typically start at $5,000–$15,000 per month per channel. Growth budgets sit at $20,000–$100,000 monthly. Scaling budgets exceed $100,000 monthly.
Can a small business hire a performance marketing agency?
Yes, if there is enough monthly ad spend (usually $5,000+) to justify management fees and produce statistically meaningful test data.
How long should I commit to a performance agency?
Plan for at least 60–90 days. The first 30 are usually setup, audit, and learning. Real performance gains compound from day 60 onward.
How do I measure if a performance marketing agency is working?
Track CAC, ROAS, conversion rate, cost per lead, payback period, and LTV by channel. Reports should compare against pre-engagement baselines and against agreed targets.
