Write down what the current agency relationship is not delivering. Separate capability gaps from unclear goals, slow internal approval, missing implementation resources or a brief that has changed. A new agency will not automatically solve a problem that sits inside the client organisation.
Use one written brief
Ask each shortlisted agency to respond to the same business objective, site constraints, target markets, implementation responsibilities and evidence requirements. This makes price bands, proposed teams and timelines more comparable.
Check the transition
Confirm analytics ownership, account access, content and technical documentation, notice periods and the handover of work in progress. Search performance can be disrupted when decisions, redirects or measurement history disappear during a rushed transition.
