When to choose First Page Digital
Multi-market campaigns, large ad budgets that benefit from Premier Partner support, or enterprise procurement that requires award and partner credentials. Those are real advantages of scale, and it would be silly of us to pretend otherwise.
When to choose iTechStudio
Monthly budgets in the hundreds to low thousands, you want to know the price before the call, you want the founder and SEO lead in your WhatsApp group, you need web or software and marketing from one team, or you want AI-search (GEO) visibility measured monthly with ApexIntent.
Questions to ask either agency
Put the same five questions to both of us and compare the answers: Who does the day-to-day work on my account? What is the minimum term and notice period? What exactly is in the monthly report? How is AI-search visibility measured? And who owns the ad accounts and the content produced? An agency that answers all five without hedging is an agency you can work with – whoever it is.
