Are We A Good Fit?

When choosing a digital marketing and web design agency, we believe that the key to satisfaction lies in setting appropriate expectations. These expectations can be high or low, as long as they are met. To be fully transparent, we have created a list that will help you determine if JSMT Media is a good match for your business.

Who Are You?

A Good Fit
- You are an owner, marketing director, or in a leadership position with decision-making abilities who wants to enhance or expand your company’s digital marketing initiatives.
A Bad Fit
- You are a solo startup entrepreneur who is still in the process of launching your idea. As a startup, you will face many new costs and challenges, and JSMT Media may not be the best fit to help you navigate all the unknowns about your product or users. We suggest waiting until your business has matured and you have hired employees and gained paying customers before reaching out to us.

What Do You Need?

A Good Fit
- A fast, visually appealing website. We have years of experience in building such sites.
- Comprehensive digital marketing strategy, including search engine optimization, content creation, and Google Ads. We’re here to help if you’re serious about digital marketing.
- A content management system (CMS) that is simple to use. If your current CMS is making it tough for your team to update your site, we can assist you.
- Hosting and support services. We can ensure that your website is always running on the latest version and has a secure hosting platform.
A Bad Fit
- Brand identity and print design. Although we have an understanding of these areas, we specialize in and offer web design, SEO, and Google Ads services.
- IT support services. While we work with computers, we are not equipped to troubleshoot your internal network, printer, or general IT issues. We have a trusted IT partner, and are happy to share their information or make recommendations.

When Do You Need It?

A Good Fit
- You understand that quality work takes time, and you’re willing to work towards a realistic goal. If there are early successes, that’s a bonus!
A Bad Fit
- You expect to see immediate results and ROI within the first few weeks. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee that. Our focus is on gradual, strategic growth instead of making unrealistic promises.
- You need a new website to be created within a few weeks. Developing a high-quality website takes time. If you require something quickly, a DIY platform like Squarespace or WIX may be a better short-term solution.

What Are Your Challenges?

A Good Fit
- Your content is good, but it’s not being presented effectively. Our team can create content that is easy to digest and prioritizes readability and a clear hierarchy.
- Your current vendor is unresponsive. We believe that timely communication is crucial, and we’ll let you know how quickly we can resolve any issues.
- Your current vendor is not proactive. Our team keeps up with industry trends and loves to bring new ideas to our clients.
- You need more leads or conversions. Our team is focused on understanding what makes a good lead for your business and helping your users fill out forms.
- You need more qualified traffic to your website. Our focus is on driving the right audience to your site, not just increasing traffic for the sake of vanity metrics.
- Your website is slow-loading or unresponsive. If you want a website that loads fast, we can help
- You have great internal or industry expertise, but you need help communicating that on the web. We specialize in creating web content that effectively communicates complex ideas.
A Bad Fit
- You want someone to do exactly what you want, exactly when you want it. We prefer to be your strategic partner, not just a vendor. The best results come from a great conversation about your goals, budget, how we can solve your problems, and how long that will realistically take.
- You want to be No. 1 on Google for every keyword. Unfortunately, this is an unrealistic promise that many others may make, only to fail after taking your money. We believe in setting realistic goals and working hard to achieve them.
- You want to crush or dominate the competition. This is a vague goal. We find that when your goal is to “crush the competition,” time, energy, effort, and money that could be spent building tangible results is wasted.

What Are Your Business and Working Relationship Preferences?

A Good Fit
- You want a dependable partner. We aim to form long-term relationships with our clients, and the quality of our work and results improve the more we get to know and interact with each other.
- You prefer regular communication with the team. We value strong, frequent, and open communication as the foundation of everything we do. We’re on the same team, after all. Our goal is to deliver tangible results, this may require our team to request assets and information from your in-house team. Clear and responsive communication helps us achieve those goals.
- You can clearly articulate the goals of your business. The better we understand your goals, the more likely we are to achieve them.
- You’re looking forward to the professional recommendations of our team. If you’re hiring experts, you should be open to their advice, even if it means they disagree with you (professionally, of course).
A Bad Fit
- You get busy and disappear for weeks or months at a time. We understand people get busy, but if we can’t talk to you, we can’t do the best work you’re paying us for.
- You can’t give us access to sales, revenue, or analytics numbers for your organization. If you want to measure ROI and the impact of your digital marketing, it’s helpful for us to know this data. We’re not interested in stealing any trade secrets; we just want to demonstrate that our work is having the expected impact.
- You believe you could do our job better yourself, but you don’t have the time. When we hear this, it often means we’re being hired begrudgingly, and our team will never be viewed as your trusted partner. Hire us because you trust that we’ll help you accomplish your goals, not just because your department is understaffed.
- You don’t believe a task should take as long as we estimate. If you don’t trust us, we won’t have a solid relationship. You’re paying for more than just our time; you’re paying for our expertise (which took us many years to accumulate) and the results we’ll deliver.
