FAQ's

What Does a Digital Marketer Actually Do?

Simply put, a digital marketer’s job is to help you make more money.

Digital marketing is all about getting your business in front of the right people at the right time. That means using tools like SEO, conversion-friendly web design, Google Ads (PPC), Facebook advertising, and more to drive traffic, increase brand awareness, and turn visitors into paying customers. When done right, digital marketing should give you a solid return on investment.

How Much Should You Pay a Digital Marketing Agency?

It depends on the services you need. Different strategies come with different price tags. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Google Ads (PPC) – Most agencies charge a management fee (to set up and run the campaign) plus an ad spend (which goes directly to Google). A typical setup might look like $1,000/month for management plus $1,000/month or more in ad spend.
  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – The cost varies based on your target area and industry competition.
  • Local SEO (focused on a city or region): $1,000–$2,000/month
  • National SEO (broader reach, higher competition): $1,800–$5,000/month

How Do I Choose the Right Web Design Agency?

Picking a web design agency is a big decision, so here’s what to look for:

  • Check their reviews – What are past clients saying?
  • Look at their work – Do they have a portfolio or case studies to prove their results?
  • Ask the right questions – A great agency will ask you more questions than you ask them because they genuinely want to understand your business.
  • Industry experience – It’s a plus if they’ve worked with businesses like yours, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
  • Know the costs upfront – Get a clear breakdown of fees to avoid hidden charges and compare fairly across agencies.
  • Trust your gut – If something feels off, keep looking. The right web design team should feel like a partner, not just a vendor.

Take your time, do your research, and find an agency that aligns with your vision and goals!

What is the difference between a web developer and a web designer?

A web designer is someone who specializes in the layout and flow of the website whereas a web developer is the person who takes that design, codes it and brings it to live online. Many web design agencies have both web designers and developers on staff but given the popularity of WordPress and other tools, this isn’t always necessary.

At Make It Loud, most of our staff has experience designing websites. Our lead designer has the design and developer skills necessary to create your business website from start to finish.

What Is an SEO Agency?

An SEO agency is a team of experts focused on making your website more attractive to Google (and other search engines). The goal? To get your site ranking on page one by improving content, technical SEO, and other key strategies. When done right, SEO boosts your visibility and drives targeted traffic straight to your website.

What’s the Goal of SEO?

Simple—to get the right people to your website. SEO helps your business show up when potential customers search for what you offer. The more often your site appears on page one, the more visitors (and ultimately, customers) you’ll get.

How Much Do SEO Agencies Charge?

SEO pricing depends on your target area and industry competition:

  • Local SEO (targeting a city or region): $1,000–$5,000/month
  • National SEO (competing on a larger scale): $2,500–$10,000/month

How can I generate leads from social media?

Utilize lead generation ads, direct messages, downloadable resources, and website call-to-actions (CTAs) to convert social media followers into leads.

What’s the difference between organic and paid social media marketing?

Organic marketing involves unpaid posts and engagement, while paid marketing uses ads and sponsored content to reach a larger audience.

How do I target the right audience on social media ads?

Use demographic filters, interests, behaviors, and retargeting options to reach the most relevant audience for your business.

What is email marketing?

Email marketing is a digital marketing strategy that involves sending emails to a targeted audience to promote products, services, or brand awareness.

What are the benefits of email marketing?

Some key benefits include increased customer engagement, improved brand loyalty, automation capabilities, and higher conversion rates.

How much does it cost to advertise on Google Ads?

Google Ads costs vary based on competition, industry, and targeting. The average cost-per-click (CPC) ranges from $1 to $10, but highly competitive industries like legal services can exceed $50 per click.

Are Google Ads better than SEO?

Google Ads provides immediate visibility, while SEO is a long-term strategy. Both work best when combined, as SEO builds organic traffic and Google Ads drives quick, targeted results.

What Makes Us Different?

We’re Honest

Let’s be real—some agencies promise the world but deliver nothing. That’s not us. Whether it’s SEO, social media marketing, or paid ads, we set realistic expectations and create a clear strategy to get you there.

And here’s something you won’t hear from most agencies: if your website isn’t ready for SEO, we won’t take your money. SEO won’t work if your site has major issues, so instead of wasting your budget, we’ll help you fix the foundation first. Because doing things right matters.

We Work With You

Digital marketing can be overwhelming. Trends change constantly, algorithms shift, and best practices evolve. But that’s our job to keep up with—it’s your job to focus on running your business.

That said, we don’t just do the work and leave you in the dark. We want you to understand how SEO, paid ads, and social media are helping your business grow. No smoke and mirrors. No hidden fees. Just real, transparent results.

We Actually Answer the Phone

Sick of agencies that disappear after taking your money? We hear that all the time. That’s not how we do business. Whether you have a question, concern, or just want an update, we’re always a quick call or email away.

Prefer to meet in person? We’d love that. Unlike most digital marketing agencies, we have a physical storefront in Buford, Georgia—so you’re always welcome to stop by and chat with us.
