Deep dives

The Importance of Ongoing Maintenance

One-time projects are insufficient for long-term success and sustainability in the agency space. Just as going to the gym once won't yield lasting fitness, engaging in a singular project won't ensure continued business growth. Agencies risk falling behind as competitors continually adjust and optimize their strategies unless they adopt an ongoing service model. The shift towards monthly recurring revenue allows for constant adaptation and optimization for clients, fostering lasting relationships.
