About this sector
Marketing is the sector where the gap between the best and worst supplier is widest, because the work is hard for a buyer to assess while it is happening. A poor agency can look busy for a year before anyone notices nothing moved.
The Guide judges agencies mainly on evidence: named clients, results that can be checked, and the agency’s own visibility. An agency that cannot rank its own site or fill its own pipeline is telling you something.

Questions about marketing agencies
How much does a marketing agency cost in West Yorkshire?
Most West Yorkshire agencies work on monthly retainers between £800 and £4,000 for a small or mid-sized business, with £1,500 to £2,500 the most common band. Project work is separate: a small business website typically runs £3,000 to £12,000, a brand identity £2,500 to £15,000. Leeds agencies generally sit at the upper end of those ranges and Calderdale, Kirklees and Bradford firms at the lower end for comparable work.
Should I use a local agency or a national one?
For most West Yorkshire businesses under about £5m turnover, a local agency is the better bet: you get more senior attention for the same money, and the account is large enough to matter to them. National agencies become worth it when you need specialist capability at scale — large paid media budgets, complex technical SEO, or multi-market work — where their bench depth genuinely exceeds anything available locally.
What should a marketing agency report on every month?
At minimum: what was done, what it cost, what changed in the metrics that lead to revenue — qualified enquiries, calls, bookings or sales — and what happens next. Reports built entirely from impressions, reach, rankings or follower counts are a warning sign, because none of those numbers has to move for the business to grow, and none of them has to fall for it to shrink.
