Can I work with both agencies?
Sometimes, yes, if scopes don't overlap. Many brands split agencies by function (e.g., us for owned-media-powered SEO + content, them for another function). We'll advise honestly whether bringing in both makes sense for your situation or whether you should pick one.
How do I evaluate B2B SaaS marketing agencies honestly?
Ask three questions: (1) What's their unique channel or asset? (2) What's their team's operator experience? (3) What's their track record in your specific vertical? Generic 'we do SEO + content + paid' means nothing, specialization and owned assets matter more than service breadth.
