Faisalabad is full of businesses that sell online: clothing and textile brands, shoe brands, home goods and more. Many of them are looking for a digital marketing agency in Faisalabad to run their ads, improve their website and bring in more orders. But choosing the wrong agency can waste months and a lot of ad budget.
I’m Aun, CEO of Ecommerce With Aun and Aun Group of Companies. I run my own online brands and work with clients as a digital marketer, so I have seen both sides. This guide is the checklist I would use if I were hiring an agency myself.
1. Check if they have real, verifiable results
Any agency can say “we grew sales by 300%”. Ask for something you can verify: a live store you can visit, a client you can speak to, or screenshots from an ads manager or Shopify dashboard. Agencies that run their own online brands are a good sign, because they spend their own money using the same methods they sell to you.
For example, one of our own stores made more than $460K in sales (about Rs 131 million) from January 2025 to October 2026. We share where that number comes from, and we make clear it is our own store, not a client’s.
2. Make sure you keep ownership of your accounts
This is the most common problem we see. Some agencies create the Facebook ad account, the TikTok ad account or even the Shopify store in their own name. When you stop working with them, you lose your data, your pixel history and sometimes your store.
- Your Meta Business Manager and ad account should be in your name. The agency gets partner access.
- Your TikTok Business Center should be yours, with the agency added as a member or partner.
- For Shopify, the store should be yours and the agency should use collaborator access.
- No good agency needs your passwords.
3. Understand the difference between the fee and ad spend
A digital marketing agency charges a management fee. Ad spend is the money you pay Meta or TikTok to show your ads. These should always be separate, and the ad spend should be paid by you directly from your own card or account. Be careful if an agency asks you to send them the ad budget and does not show you the ad account.
4. Ask what is included, in writing
“Social media marketing” can mean anything. Ask for a written list of deliverables. For ads management, a good list looks like this:
- Tracking check (Meta Pixel, Conversions API, TikTok Pixel)
- Campaign structure and audience plan
- Creative direction: which videos and images to test
- Weekly optimization
- A monthly report in plain language
5. Be careful of guarantees
No honest digital marketer can guarantee sales, a fixed return on ad spend or first-page Google rankings. Results depend on your product, price, offer, website and competition. An agency that guarantees results is either hiding something in the contract or does not understand ads. What a good agency can promise is a professional setup, careful testing and honest reporting.
6. Look at their own website and speed
A digital marketing agency’s own website tells you a lot. Is it fast on mobile? Is the contact information clear? Are prices or at least starting prices shown? If an agency cannot do this well for itself, it will struggle to do it for you.
7. Compare pricing fairly
Prices vary a lot in Pakistan. Very cheap packages often mean one person managing too many accounts. Very expensive ones are not always better. As a reference, here are our own starting prices in US dollars:
| Service | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Shopify store setup | $99 |
| WordPress website | $150 |
| Meta Ads management | $99 / month |
| TikTok Ads management | $49 / month |
| SEO | $99 / month |
You can see all packages on our pricing page.
8. Choose an agency that understands your type of business
An agency that mostly runs ads for restaurants may not understand e-commerce problems like courier returns, cash on delivery, product page conversion or Shopify apps. If you sell online, look for a digital marketing agency that specializes in e-commerce.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Can I see a live store or ad account result you are proud of?
- Will the ad accounts and store stay in my name?
- What exactly is included every month?
- How and how often will you report to me?
- Who will actually work on my account?
