Can I engage one system, or do I need all five?
Each system is independently scoped and delivered. You do not need all five, and you do not need an advisory engagement first. Many clients start with one system and add a second once the first has produced results.
What does "targets agreed in writing" mean?
Before a system goes live, we agree specific targets and how they will be measured, and attach them to the engagement agreement. Every monthly report measures against them, including when they are missed, with a documented plan for what changes next.
How is ad spend handled?
Ad spend is paid by you directly to the platforms, under your own accounts and visible to you at all times. Our fee covers strategy, creative, management, optimisation and reporting. A minimum monthly spend applies to each tier and is confirmed at scoping.
What is the minimum commitment?
Monthly systems for SEO and content run for a minimum of three months, because these channels need time to compound. Paid media tiers are confirmed at scoping. Ending an engagement requires 30 days' written notice, and all completed work is delivered in full.
Do I own the accounts and assets?
Yes. Articles, creatives, strategy documents, website source files and reports belong to you on delivery. Your ad accounts, social profiles and analytics properties remain in your name throughout.
Is Digital Engine a marketing agency?
No. It is the execution arm of an advisory firm. It primarily supports our Business Strategy clients and takes on a limited number of external clients, and every engagement starts from a strategy brief rather than a list of tasks.
