Agency Red Flags in Germany

Red flags

Guarantees, GDPR ignorance, agency-owned accounts.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked
• Sending paid traffic to the homepage instead of a focused landing page
• Following up leads hours or days too late
• Letting the agency own your ad accounts

Quick checklist before you start

• Conversion tracking tested end to end
• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• A follow-up process for every enquiry
• Weekly review of results and search terms
• Landing page that matches the offer

Key takeaway

Warning signs when hiring a German marketing agency. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
