Glossboss Websites vs. a local marketing agency.
Good agencies exist, and some are great. But the typical deal a detailer gets looks very different from ours. Here's what to check before you sign anything.
Side by side
| Typical local agency | Glossboss Websites | |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | Often 12 months or more | Month-to-month after launch, cancel anytime |
| Your domain | Sometimes registered in the agency's name | Registered in your name from day one |
| Setup fee | Often several thousand dollars | From $499 |
| Launch | Weeks to months, often no fixed date | A fixed date, 14 days from kickoff |
| Pages | Often priced per page | No page caps in any package |
| Booking | Usually a contact form | Online booking built in from Stuttgart up |
| Knows detailing | Serves restaurants, dentists and roofers too | Built by a detailer, only for the car-care trades |
| Who you talk to | An account manager | The person who builds your site |
| Meetings | In person, in your town | Video calls and email in US hours |
| Ads and social media | Often part of the package | Not our thing; we build the site they send people to |
When a local agency is the better pick.
If this sounds like you, go with them. We'd rather tell you now.
- You want to meet in person, in your town
- You want one company running your ads, social media and website together
- You have a marketing budget and want someone to spend it for you
