How to Switch Marketing Agencies Without Losing Data or Momentum

Switching agencies is common, but a messy handover can cost months of progress. Follow this order.

1. Secure ownership first

Make sure you have admin access to ad accounts, Business Manager, Google Analytics, Search Console, social profiles, domain and hosting.

2. Export data

• Ad performance reports and audiences
• Analytics and SEO reports
• Content calendars and creative files

3. Plan an overlap

Give the new agency access before the old contract ends.

4. Brief the new agency

Share goals, history, what worked, what didn't and current numbers.

5. Remove old access

After handover, remove previous agency users and change passwords.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Ignoring negative keywords and search term reports
• Running ads without conversion tracking
• Letting the agency own your ad accounts
• Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked

Quick checklist before you start

• Landing page that matches the offer
• Accounts and data in your business name
• A follow-up process for every enquiry
• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• Weekly review of results and search terms

Key takeaway

A step-by-step handover plan so changing agencies doesn't cost you accounts, data or results. 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.
