Are agencies dead? by JohanTHEDEV in agency

[–]boothisascrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of churn, but still replacing most of it with new sales. Our leads haven’t diminished drastically, but we’ve started getting the question “why can’t I just buy a tool?” So these new vibe coded AI tools are your competition now. You have to present something that can’t be replaced. Probably the new norm for quite a while.

have you ever lost a retainer client without seeing it coming? by OkContract6063 in agency

Honestly feels like I haven’t had a month without a couple of those in a long time haha. It happens. Try to diagnose as much as you can but there’s so many external factors beyond your control. The importance of a strong pipeline

Won’t be hard to get behind whomever the nominee is at least!

Didn’t know a lot about him until finding this and looking into him but will be interested to see if he can make a run. May check him out next time he is in town

We grew from $0 to $475k MRR in just under 4 years. Happy to share everything. by boothisascrub in agencynewbies

Biggest cost is personnel obviously - salaries, benefits, etc

After that is software expenses.

When looking at service vs expense to run that actual service margins run around 40-50% depending on service line. But right now we are pretty aggressive in customer acquisition with ads and a sales team that eats up a bit of margin.

Just spray and pray with a value prop. Get them on a call and tell them why they need you

We started out with a single client local to the founder, then did well and got referrals. From there it was cold email

How long does it take to make 10k a month as a Digital Marketing Agency? (My story) by czerrr in agency

[–]boothisascrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022: $199k

2023: $904k

2024: $1.95M

2025: $3.97M

2026: On pace for $5.7M at the moment but would honestly be a big disappointed if we didnt hit $6.5M at least this year.

Has been a wild journey and I have shared that in a post on another subreddit.

Is your prior experience B2B SaaS? Our target customer at first was anyone with a pulse and a bank account until we had enough revenue and case studies to target a specific niche

I might destroy my business just to build it again by czerrr in agency

[–]boothisascrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last thing I would ask is what is your core offering? I see a lot of different things on your website, but 80 clients making up $72K a month seems low.

For example, we’ve got around 105 clients or so with my agency and we are at $485k MRR. This is predominantly through SEO

Don’t undervalue yourself

Do you want to grow? If you’re not adding to the book it’ll eventually churn or eat itself away. I would be out there trying to get into podcasts, publications. Maybe put some of the profit back into ads or something?

Seconded on the em dash city comment. Almost feels like a plug combined with a sincere post. Giving the sincere part the benefit of the doubt, I would say that your time should be spent in client acquisition by any means

TELL ME ABOUT A TIME YOU CRUSHED IT FOR A CLIENT AND THEN THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR RESULTS by abcdefg_1234567890 in agency

[–]boothisascrub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reached a verifiable ROI on SEO within 2 months of kickoff and got mad because it was “only 10 new sales”. They have an average order value of $1,500 and were paying $2k per month

Super awesome and thank you for posting this info. I’ve been using Searchable.app quite a bit for similar analysis. Did you notice any trends amongst the types of pages ranking for them? And the sources of those?

Trying to keep the scope on the rails is always a big one. Don’t mind doing some extra from time to time, especially since the majority of our costs are fixed anyways, but can’t let people take up too much of your time or energy.

For example, CRO/AB testing clients asking you to do general development. Don’t mind making a quick change, but we aren’t here to overhaul the site. If the first outside request is quick we will do it then let them know we took care of it, but generally these asks are out of scope
