حکم: Hybrid approach معمولاً برنده است
Pure DIY رایگان نیست — opportunity cost به ساعت سود به business شما خیلی بالاتر از agency fees است. Pure agency expensive ولی effective اگر business mature است. بهترین strategy برای trades businesses در BC: STAGE 1 ($0-$200K revenue): DIY basics — GMB، simple website، organic Google reviews. Maybe $200/mo budget برای Google Ads testing. STAGE 2 ($200K-$500K revenue): Hybrid — agency برای strategic + specialized work (SEO، CRM، ads optimization). Owner continues to handle community + relationships. STAGE 3 ($500K+ revenue): Full agency engagement. Owner focuses on operations + relationships + strategic decisions. Agency drives marketing engine. اگر در stage 2 یا 3 هستید، agency ROI typically 3x-10x. اگر در stage 1 هستید، agency expense ممکن است زود باشد. ما با شما تصمیم میگیریم.
