How to choose a SaaS marketing agency

Company size changes the brief. A global software company with marketing teams in many countries needs a shared platform those teams can work on. Valtech builds that kind of platform. A mid-market or enterprise SaaS company with one main site and one sales team behind it has a tighter brief, and Isadora Agency's team is sized for it.

The bottleneck picks the channel. When the site loses buyers, the website and its conversion paths come first. When sales already has a target list, account-based media from Tinuiti fits, and AKQA's repositioning work suits a product the market doesn't understand yet.

Reporting has to reach the CRM. Software deals take months, so a campaign report should trace leads into the sales system.

How much does a SaaS marketing agency cost?

For Isadora Agency, a SaaS website or product design project starts at $95,000. Monthly retainers for SEO, SEM, CRO and analytics cost $6,000 to $7,000. The seven other agencies set fees per engagement.

Ad spend is billed on top of agency fees.
