Before changing agency

Compare the cause, not only the supplier.

Define the gap

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.

Frequently asked questions

Choosing an alternative to Topdog

What is the best alternative to Topdog?

Kahena is the highest-ranked alternative in this shortlist because it shares relevant services with Topdog and has a comparable buyer fit. The best choice still depends on the precise service, location, delivery model and engagement band required.

How were the Topdog alternatives selected?

The shortlist prioritises agencies with overlapping specialisations, a similar client profile or price band, relevant market coverage and a nearby position in the 2026 global ranking. It is a fit comparison rather than a claim that each agency offers an identical service.

Should I change from Topdog to another agency?

Only after defining the gap in the current relationship. Ask whether the problem is specialist capability, senior attention, implementation capacity, location, reporting or commercial fit. Compare all candidates against the same written brief before changing agency.
