Questions people ask
What is Marketing Company Denver?
Marketing Company Denver is an independent referral service, not a marketing agency. When you send the form, your details go to an independent marketing agency that prepares any proposal and does any work. The site does no marketing work and holds none of your accounts.
Does it cost anything to ask?
No. Sending the form is free, and you never have to hire anyone.
Which agency will contact me?
An independent marketing agency that works with Denver businesses. It introduces itself when it replies, and you can ask it anything before deciding.
What does a marketing agency do?
It plans and runs the ways customers find you: search, your Google Business Profile, paid ads, social, email and the website. A good one starts by asking what you want more of and where your customers are.
How much does marketing cost in Denver?
It depends on the work, and ad spend is set by you as a daily budget. This site prints no prices. Ask for a written proposal that shows the agency’s fee separately from ad spend.
Can any agency guarantee a top ranking on Google?
No. Google says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, and that if anyone guarantees first place in search results, you should find someone else.
Can I pay Google to rank higher?
No. Google says it does not accept payment to rank a site higher, and that there is no way to pay for a better local ranking. Ads are separate and labelled as ads.
How does Google decide which local businesses show on the map?
Mainly on relevance, distance and popularity, according to Google. A complete, accurate Business Profile and genuine reviews are what a business can work on.
Should I remove my address from my Google profile?
No. If you serve customers at your address and also travel to them, Google lets you enter both your address and a service area. Keep your real address.
Can I give customers a discount for a review?
No. Google’s Maps policy bans incentives for reviews, and the FTC’s Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule, in effect since October 21, 2024, bans rewards for reviews that express a set opinion. Ask every customer for an honest review and offer nothing.
How do I control what I spend on Google Ads?
You choose a daily budget for each campaign and can change it at any time. Google suggests dividing a monthly budget by 30.4 to get the daily figure.
What are Local Services Ads?
A Google ad unit where you pay for leads related to your business, which come in as calls and messages. Check eligibility for your trade and area in Google’s sign-up.
Who should own my website and accounts?
You should. Keep owner access to your domain, website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts and email list, and give the agency user access.
Do influencers need to disclose that I paid them?
Yes. The FTC says material connections such as payment or free product must be disclosed clearly and conspicuously, and agencies can share responsibility for deceptive endorsements.
Are SEO tool scores Google’s own scores?
No. Google says it does not endorse third-party SEO tools and that they do not have access to Google’s internal ranking data.
Do you work with businesses outside the City of Denver?
The site is for businesses in Denver and nearby, including the Denver Tech Center area, which lies partly outside the City and County of Denver. Say where you serve customers in the form.
What should I ask an agency before I hire?
Google suggests asking for examples of past work, whether they follow the Google Search Essentials, what results they expect and when, how they measure success, their experience in your industry and city, and whether they will share every change they make.
Is Marketing Company Denver connected to Google?
No. Google, the FTC and the City and County of Denver are named only as the sources of the rules and facts quoted. The site is not affiliated with, certified by or endorsed by any of them.
Will I be locked into a long contract?
That is between you and the agency. Ask how long any agreement runs and how you can end it before you sign, and get the answer in writing.
Do I need ads and SEO, or just one?
It depends on your trade and how soon you need customers. Ads show only while a campaign runs and you pay for clicks or leads; search work builds over time and costs nothing per click. Ask the agency which it would start with and why.
Does a new website help my Google ranking?
A new design alone does not. What Google says it rewards is helpful, reliable content made for people, on pages it can crawl. A rebuild that adds real service pages and keeps old addresses redirected can help; one that only changes the look rarely does.
What happens to my details?
They are stored on this site, emailed to its operator and passed to one independent marketing agency so it can reply to you. The privacy policy sets out the rest.
