Hey everyone,

I run a small local business and have been considering hiring a digital marketing agency to help with growth—but I’m not entirely sure what kind of impact they can actually have on a business like mine.

I always thought digital marketing was more for e-commerce or big brands. But lately, I’ve been seeing local competitors showing up more online, and I’m wondering if I’m falling behind.

So here’s my question: What can a digital marketing agency really do for a small, local business? Are there specific strategies they use for local visibility, or is it just general online advertising?

If anyone here has worked with one—especially for a local or service-based business—I’d love to hear how it went and what kind of results you saw.

Thanks in advance!
