The 5 questions that separate good agencies from great ones:
"Show me the actual ROAS or CVR numbers from a brand in my category." Agencies with genuine results share specific numbers. Vague case studies ("we helped a beauty brand grow 3x") signal performance concerns.
"Who specifically runs my account day-to-day?" The senior person who pitches you often isn't who manages the account. Know the junior team member's experience level before signing.
"What does failure look like and what's your process when something isn't working?" Agencies that explain their failure protocol are more trustworthy than those who only talk about success scenarios.
"What Shopify apps do you recommend and why?" Agencies with genuine Shopify expertise know specific apps in specific contexts. Generic answers reveal shallow platform knowledge.
"What's the minimum contract and exit clause?" Reputable agencies offer 3-month minimum contracts with clear exit terms. Long lock-ins (12+ months) without performance clauses should raise concerns.
