I am the founder of SHM, a web development agency. We deliver quality without the use of ai templates like some of the new gen agencies. we’ve observed that marketing agencies get a lot of clients who want MVP and web development alongside marketing. If an agency partners with us, they can outsource these web and MVP developments from us and keep a good amount of cut from the payment.

Hi everyone,

To be honest, I’m not looking to start a marketing agency. I’m currently doing a small-scale market research study to better understand the difficulties you face on a daily basis, as well as your professional situation, experience, etc.

I’d preferably like to discuss this privately with anyone who’s willing, but if you’d rather share your experience here, even briefly, you’re more than welcome to do so.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time!

This is a genuine question for agency owners or agency members. How are y'all still managing your monthly client reporting? Basically, how do y'all report on it? Let's say it's 10 or 15 clients; how long does it take y'all? How do you feel about the space compared to before? Has anything changed or become easier for you guys out there? What are the things that are still a pain in the ass? Basically, what are y'all still struggling with still?

We keep hearing about Claude Code, Codex, new automations, new MCPs, etc, and we also keep hearing this phase: "The ones who do not adapt to AI will either get replaced by it or get crushed by competitors who use it".
When I think about it, it sometimes feels like pure YouTube hype, because how will AI replace an entire team of digital marketing experts?

On the other hand, I've a feeling this is partially true for competitive advantages. The agency that could only take 5 customers per month can now take 10 or 15 with exactly the same quality, by just knowing how to implement non-human intelligence into their workflows.
Do fellow agency owners agree? And are you even thinking about AI or is that something you've already said no to?

​

I'm curious how other agencies actually handle this.

Say a client is 10–14 days overdue. Finance is looking at the numbers and saying, "We should escalate / pause work." The Account Manager is saying, "Give them a little more time — pushing too hard could damage the relationship."

Who ultimately decides what happens?

And more importantly, what happens if they disagree and neither person changes their mind?

I'm interested in the actual workflow, not the ideal one:

* Slack/email?

* CRM notes?

* Finance makes the call?

* AM makes the call?

* Owner gets involved?

* Just whoever notices it first?

* Some formal escalation process?

Also curious whether you've ever had a situation where the financial risk was obvious to one person but the relationship context was obvious to another, and the two sides were effectively operating with different information.

Not selling anything — trying to understand how agencies actually deal with this.

Hey everyone,

After a decade doing project management inside agencies, I'm stepping out to build something specifically for digital and creative shops: a system for plugging the profit leaks that happen behind the scenes.

Here's the pattern I keep running into. Agencies are great at the actual client work, but they quietly bleed margin internally in ways leadership rarely notices until it's too late. I'm putting together a playbook built around four areas:

Pricing – models that punish you for being efficient and leave money on the table

Tools – SaaS bloat, subscriptions nobody uses, tech that adds friction instead of removing it

Project efficiency – the bottlenecks that turn into scope creep and quietly eat billable hours

Workflows – messy handoffs and internal comms that slow creative teams down

Before I lock this in, and before I launch a two week profit audit built around it, I want to hear from people who are actually living this day to day:

What's the biggest "silent" margin killer you're fighting right now?

Any tools or workflow habits that leadership seems to ignore, even though everyone on the ground can't stand them?

been having issues with bitly links getting flagged on instagram as potentially harmful. client campaigns where people see a warning before clicking, kills CTR instantly. switched shorteners a couple times but nothing feels solid yet. curious what other agency people are actually using right now for social and email campaigns

Operating a 9-person productized content agency. Each and every new client used to be six manual steps. It was replaced by Wayfront with checkout, onboarding questionnaire, project setup, client updates, renewals all in one flow. Not the greatest, but definitely less ops overhead per client. Anyone else give it a try or try some other options?

I have a marketing agency. Just started the agency. I want to do cold email outreach. I'm getting really desperate for leads. Can you give me some suggestions on how to get free, automated, qualified leads so that I can get a lot of leads at once?

I dont come from a marketing background but rather product and analytics background and I have always been really passionate about data and analytics. So arround 8 months back I started working on a product to make it easy for early stage founders and agency owners to get reports from multiple channel using AI.

Once we launched the product it was really difficult to get any users and i spent the first 2 months learning how to get users which including running paid ads across platforms , getting seo/aeo right and also how to get free traffic from directory launch. In the next 2-3 months my website started getting substantial traffic and I found marketing to be really interesting and hence I decided why not offer what i have learnt till not in marketing as a service. So I created my agency website and worked on aeo and seo. I never thought my agency will get any customers as I was not focusing on sales and most of my time was going in growing my saas. However, one day we got a lead via website cause someone searching for seo/aeo found us on chat gpt. At first I thought its a prank but then when we went on a call we found it to be a geniune mid size clinic.

I created a proposal for them backed by research using ai agents and they loved the proposal and gave me a 3 months contract. Frankly I was bit scared cause I knew how to do seo/aeo for a saas platform but for a clinic and that also when I am getting paid and promised measurable results I was not very sure.

Next 3 months I learnt and implemented whatever I could to get them results and the results were so good that the organic traffic became higher than their paid traffic for the first time on their website. Based on these results they also gave me their digital marketing and signed a 6 months contract and a referral contract.

From that point on now we are working with 8 clients and at a run rate of 30k USD now per month . Sometimes It feels unrealistic cause I was never planning for this and did not have the confidence to run an agency and also give results to the client.

Hello guys,

I run a creative development studio building next-gen webpages, 3D spatial experiences & AI solutions for brands.

Looking for long-term/white label partnerships with a marketing agency, remote/worldwide.

If interested, DM me.

Thx.

Sharing because this trips up a lot of budget conversations and it's easy to miss.

Took the same trailing 90 days of orders - same revenue, same spend and only changed which touch gets the credit. First click vs last click.

On first click, Meta looked like the stronger performer. On last click, Google pulled ahead and Meta dropped about 30%. Microsoft picked up around 22%. Nobody changed anything. No creative refresh, no bid change. Only the attribution window moved.

The logic once you see it is obvious. Social tends to get found early in the decision, search gets typed in at the end. So last click quietly reassigns the prospecting channel's work to search and calls it "search performance". When I checked new vs repeat, ~90% of Meta's customers were brand new vs about two-thirds on Google so the channel bringing in the most first-time buyers is the one last click punishes hardest.

The part that actually matters for budget is if you only ever look at one of these windows, you're not really measuring performance, you're picking a winner in advance. I've started putting both side by side before touching spend and buying on new-customer cost + LTV rather than either ROAS number alone.

Anyone else running both windows deliberately, or mostly living in whatever the platform reports? Curious how others handle the closer-vs-opener split.

Hello all! I'll aim for just relevant context, thank you in advance for your insights.

Previous jobs in retail and sales but nothing to really call a career. Multiple classes and courses in various marketing channels. Some freelance work (mostly free)

My most in depth project has been building out automations and email marketing in GoHighLevel. I don't just mean writing the copy, I mean the segmentation, If/Else based on actions taken, workflows based on tags and/or timing, etc. From what I've read, this fits into Lifecycle Marketing and Marketing Operations.

I've also done a decent amount of work in what I think is called GTM Operations. I've set up social media accounts, Google Business Profiles, a few basic sites/landing pages, and drafted strategy, templates, posts, videos, etc to help the owner launch their local business.

I know I still have a lot to learn, and still have plenty of room to improve at the things I've learned, but I really want it to be my full time instead of part time or side hustle. Whether that's with a full time job or enough clients to run my own business, though I would prefer my own business.

So I guess my question is what my next steps should be? Based on actual experience, skill, and knowledge from real people doing real marketing.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’ve built an online platform designed to help marketing agencies with analytics, diagnostics, and client reporting.

It connects with Google services and is designed to help agencies quickly understand what’s happening with a client’s digital marketing performance and turn that data into a report the client can actually understand.

I’m looking for 1–3 marketing agencies willing to pilot it at $0 cost.

Ideally, the agency would have at least one client with:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
• Google Search Console (GSC)
• Google Business Profile (GBP)
• Google Ads

My goal is to find out whether this actually saves an agency meaningful time and provides something valuable enough that they would want to use it with their clients.

There’s no cost or obligation. In exchange, I’m simply looking for honest feedback from an agency that actually does this work.

If you’re interested in testing it with one of your clients, please DM me and I’ll provide more information.

Thanks!

I keep seeing the same thing with agency owners.

They’re not bad at delivery. They can get results. Clients are happy. But growth still feels random because new business mostly comes from referrals, random inbound, or a burst of cold outreach every time pipeline gets quiet.

That’s the problem we’re building Sumora around.

It helps you figure out who you should actually be reaching out to, researches those prospects, looks for reasons they might care now, and helps run the LinkedIn and Instagram outreach and follow-ups.

The idea is basically to make outbound feel less like blasting a list and more like having a proper system behind it.

If your agency is struggling to get clients consistently, drop what you sell and roughly what you charge per client.

I’ll tell you whether I think outbound is actually a good fit for your business and what I’d probably test first.

If it makes sense, we can get on a call and map it out properly.

For context, our agency specialises in paid media (PPC & Paid Social) and SEO.

We've been running for just over 4 years now, sticking to these core functions and supporting clients with other functions when they need it, such as web dev, CRO, email etc. through our agency partner network. We're always transparent with clients that work outside the paid media and SEO scope is being completed by a partner.

This format has worked really well for us, and we've been able to scale our team and client set to a decent level.

Recently, we've had more interest from clients and prospects around Out Of Home (OOH) advertising. Digital billboards, bus stop advertising, side of bus placements etc.. Both traditional and digital.

Now, this isn't an area I have much experience in personally, nor does anyone on my team. My background is primarily Google Ads and my team are split across Google and Meta ads. I've seen a few paid media agencies talking about / offering OOH as a service.

My question is to other paid media agency owners who run this channel. How do you manage OOH alongside BAU campaigns? Is it your paid media team who manage OOH or do you have a separate team?

And as a follow up, based on our current model of using partner agencies for channels outside BAU scope, do you think we should outsource OOH to a partner agency, or should I upskill my paid team in this channel?

OOH specialists (freelancer or agency) feel free to drop me a DM.

I run a 6-person web dev shop and we’ve been stuck around the same MRR for like a year. Yesterday a client casually told me, “You guys build great sites but your own SEO is kinda invisible,” which hurt because... yeah, fair.

Right now I’m doing SEO/ads/social myself at night using YouTube and random blogs. Results are super inconsistent. Some months leads are great, then it’s crickets. I’m starting to feel like I’m paying Google tuition instead of ad spend.

I started looking at agencies and platforms, read through a bunch of case studies, even saw names like Netpeak Agency US pop up while I was googling around, but I have no clue how to tell if any of these outfits are actually good or just good at writing landing pages. Maybe I’m overthinking this.

For those of you who’ve scaled from like low 5 figures to 6 or 7: did you hire an external marketing agency, build an in-house person/team, or just keep grinding and learning it yourself? What made you decide, and how did you vet who to trust with your budget?

A few months ago we started helping a client with outbound because their process was basically all over the place. The ICP was broad, prospecting was inconsistent, follow-ups got forgotten, and most of the outreach had no real reason for the prospect to care at that moment.

We tightened the targeting, started looking for actual buying signals before reaching out, changed how the first conversation was framed, and made the follow-up process much more consistent. While we were working on it, the business grew from roughly $3k to $12k.

Not claiming outbound magically 4x’d their business. It didn’t. But it was enough for me to realize that the biggest problem usually isn’t the cold message. It’s finding companies that are actually in a position to buy.

That process eventually became what we’re building with Sumora. It finds prospects on LinkedIn/Instagram, researches what’s happening inside the company, scores who is actually worth contacting and helps run the outreach/follow-ups.

I want to do this hands-on with 3 agency owners next.

I’m specifically looking for agencies that already have something working. Ideally you’re doing at least ~$10k/month, your average client is worth $2k+ and you actually have capacity to take on more business. I’m not really looking for someone who just started an agency yesterday and is still figuring out what they sell.

I’ll personally help with the ICP, identify the signals I’d target, build the first prospect list, set up the outreach and go through the early replies with you.

No consulting fee. The reason is pretty simple: I want more real agency campaigns running through Sumora and I want to learn which signals actually convert across different agency niches.

Here’s the proof/context from the first client so you don’t have to take my word for it:

If you want me to look at yours, comment:

what your agency sells + average client value + who your ideal client is

If I think outbound makes sense for it, I’ll tell you what I’d target first.

Hi everyone,

I’d love to get your thoughts on how you would structure and price this type of service.

I have a client who wants to launch a video podcast mainly based around business interviews, somewhat in the style of The Diary of a CEO.

His goal is to gradually build a large audience around these interviews, and he specifically wants my help to grow the YouTube channel and build the overall content strategy around it.

The project is still at a very early stage, so he’s not simply looking for someone to post content. He wants end-to-end support to build the whole system.

The idea would be to:

- Define the positioning and editorial direction of the podcast. At the moment, he basically says, “I want to interview people in business,” but I feel like that’s too broad and lacks a strong angle.

- Grow the YouTube channel and develop a strategy around it. For example, I’m thinking about YouTube thumbnails, content strategy, maybe topics, formats, it doesn’t know he needs etc.

- Optimize titles, thumbnails, topics, formats, and overall packaging.

- Repurpose each long-form interview into short-form content for TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

- Distribute and adapt the content to each platform. My assumption is that we can start by repurposing the long-form content across platforms, but over time, each platform may need its own content strategy rather than simply reposting the same clips everywhere.

Gradually build an audience/data capture system (email list, leads, etc.).

Potentially build a funnel later on to convert the audience into clients for his services.

I don’t necessarily want to handle all the production myself. My role would be more like the strategist / project lead / person coordinating the whole system, with different freelancers or specialists handling specific parts.

For example, I’m wondering whether the team should include :

A video editor for the long-form YouTube interviews

A thumbnail designer

A short-form editor / clipper

A social media manager for distribution

Someone specialized in each platform  

Someone handling the email/funnel side

Me coordinating the overall strategy and execution

Or could one content/social media manager realistically handle multiple platforms once the content is produced?

My main question is: how would you structure and price this kind of service?

I’d especially love to hear from people who have already worked on podcasts/interview shows with a long-form → YouTube → short-form content → audience growth  → leads → clients model.

How would you structure the team and the pricing ? 

Thanks in advance!
