In-House vs Agency for Performance Marketing

Both models work at different stages.

Decide

Spend level, complexity, creative needs.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Following up leads hours or days too late
• Sending paid traffic to the homepage instead of a focused landing page
• Copying competitors instead of testing your own offers
• Stopping campaigns before they have enough data

Quick checklist before you start

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

Key takeaway

When to build an in-house performance team vs hire an 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.
