Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about digital marketing answered

What is the most effective digital marketing channel?

The most effective channel depends on your business goals, target audience, and industry. However, SEO typically provides the best long-term ROI, while PPC offers immediate results. A combination of multiple channels usually works best.

How much should I budget for digital marketing?

Digital marketing budgets typically range from 5-15% of total revenue for established businesses, or 10-20% for startups. Start with a test budget of $2,000-5,000 per month and scale based on performance.

How long does it take to see results from digital marketing?

PPC campaigns can show results within days, while SEO typically takes 3-6 months for initial improvements and 6-12 months for significant results. Social media and content marketing usually show engagement improvements within 1-3 months.
