As discussed earlier for digital marketing you as business owner should actively participate with your Agency / Vendor. You also need to understand that there are two components involved for digital marketing 1st being business side and 2nd being technical side.
There's very thin line between who does what ? Website Agency feel they are doing 80% of the scope and you are only handling 20%; wherein you will feel as 80% of the task done by you and web agency is handling only 20%
Its your business and at kotak.co.in I am constantly trying to make you learn your side of scope without falling into nitty-gritty or technicalities of digital marketing. You need not learn how to do it? But you must learn how it works? If you know how it works you will be in a better position to supply content, keywords, images and text requested by your digital marketing agency.
Having said that I want you to go through SEO – Search Engine Optimisation Process and then understand who does what and why?
