Signs It’s Time to Break Up with Your Marketing Team

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we wanted to offer some insight into a relationship that many business owners are struggling with this year. Here at Heart of Texas SEO, we get it – committing to a marketing team is like entering a long-term relationship. But what if things aren’t going as planned? It might be time to evaluate if it’s worth sticking around or if it’s time to say goodbye. Let’s delve into the red flags that signal it might be time to part ways and find a marketing team that truly has your back.

1. Website Hostage Situation: When Your Website Isn’t Yours

Is your marketing team holding your website hostage? If you can’t log in, make updates, or, worse, they own the keys to your online storefront, it’s a major red flag. Your website should be in your control – no strings attached.

2. The Silent Treatment: When They Dodge Your Calls

Communication is the backbone of any good relationship. If your marketing team is playing hard to get, not returning your calls, or making you feel like you’re at the bottom of their priority list, it’s a clear sign that they might not be as invested in your success as they should be.

3. Mysterious Workings: When They Won’t Explain What They’re Doing

A good marketing team should be transparent about their efforts. If they’re keeping you in the dark, speaking in cryptic tech language to avoid explanations, or treating their strategies like a state secret, it’s time to question their intentions.

4. The Ball and Chain: When Contracts Are Shackling You

Long-term contracts and upfront payments without proof of work? That’s not a partnership; it’s a hostage situation. A reputable marketing team should earn your trust, not force you into a commitment that feels more like a ball and chain.

5. Report Absence: When Efforts Aren’t Showcased

You should see the fruits of your marketing investment. If your team isn’t providing regular reports showcasing their efforts, results, and areas of improvement, it’s like paying for a concert ticket and never getting a show.
