Working with an Offshore Agency from Germany: Data and Contracts

Offshore teams can add value with proper safeguards.

Steps

AVV, SCCs where needed, minimal data access, clear processes.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked
• Stopping campaigns before they have enough data
• Judging success on clicks instead of enquiries and sales
• Letting the agency own your ad accounts

Quick checklist before you start

• Accounts and data in your business name
• A follow-up process for every enquiry
• Weekly review of results and search terms
• Conversion tracking tested end to end
• Landing page that matches the offer

Key takeaway

How German businesses can work with offshore teams (e.g. in India): data transfer safeguards, AVV, SCCs and communication. 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.
