Questions before hiring a digital marketing agency
What does a digital marketing agency do?
It helps a business win customers online: getting found on Google and Google Maps, making the website convincing and, when it pays off, running ads on Google or social media. We do SEO, Google Ads, web design, social media and AI search optimization (getting ChatGPT and Google's AI to name you) and coordinate them so everything points at the same goal: more calls, texts and form requests.
How much does it cost to hire a digital marketing agency?
It depends on what your business needs, which is why we don't have a price list: a five-page site and a store aren't the same job, and neither is SEO for one neighborhood or a whole state. After the free audit you get a fixed quote, in under a week and with no obligation. A website is paid once, when it's live; monthly work has no long-term contract, and what you spend on ads you pay Google directly. The details are on our quotes page.
Who's behind Scalia, and where are you based?
Two partners, Òscar Bordetas and Carles Encinas, both SEO specialists. We're based in Barcelona, Spain, six hours ahead of New York and nine ahead of Los Angeles, and work remotely with small businesses across the US: you talk to both of us by email, we reply on business days and you're billed in US dollars. Everything we do for you is visible on your tracking page.
What if something isn't right when it's done?
Before you pay, you go through the delivery line by line with your proposal in hand. If anything in it is missing or doesn't work, we fix it before you pay. And if you want something different from what we agreed along the way, we tell you first what it involves and you decide.
Should I start with SEO or Google Ads?
It depends on how fast you need results and the state of your website. With Google Ads you can show up the day the campaign goes live, but you pay for every click and it stops when you stop. SEO takes longer to kick in and keeps bringing visits without paying per click. Many businesses run both at the start; in the audit we use your numbers to tell you what we'd do first.
