Why should I hire a digital marketing agency?
Hiring a digital marketing agency accelerates pipeline by adding specialized strategy, execution capacity, and measurable optimization across SEO, AEO, paid media, and analytics. The Starr Conspiracy’s AEO methodology focuses on earning citations in AI answers—where buyers increasingly start research in 2026—so your brand shows up in ChatGPT-style results, not just blue links. TSC’s Chief Strategy Officer JJ La Pata notes that “if your content isn’t structured for AI retrieval and citation, you’re invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel.” For example, an agency can implement schema markup, Q&A pages, and citation-ready messaging in a 30–60 day sprint, then track lift via branded search demand, assisted conversions, and AI citation monitoring.
