It has always been clear to me that it is you who know your product and your market best, so if you have the resources needed, it is definitely the best thing to do it yourself. This is something that must be carefully considered before making a decision on how to proceed with paid marketing.
Use of your own employees in Mexico to manage projects outsourced to the paid marketing agent
Often, people in the Mexico-office can have broader knowledge of what is going on locally than what you can expect from a paid marketing agent far away or what the people at the headquarters of your company know about. Although, this does not necessarily mean that it is good use of resources to engage internal human resources locally in relation to the paid marketing agent. Below I will highlight some of the things that need to be thought of.Is there any difference when using a paid marketing agent in Mexico compared to working with this inhouse?
Should you hire professionals from a paid marketing agent in Mexico or can one just as well use someone at the house to take care of paid marketing in the company?If you already have limited resources, it is unlikely that this type of task will receive sufficient focus and attention from company staff without adequate resources dedicated to handling the paid marketing. The paid marketing agent knows that these things require a lot of attention and dedication and are knowledge-intensive, so they have put the resources needed to handle the project in a responsible manner.
The project you are thinking of setting out to a paid marketing agent can be time consuming and difficult to learn, but it can be well worth the time and resources used
Good paid marketing tools
There are some things you need to be aware of when using a paid marketing agent – whether this is handled by your department in Mexico, or centrally at the corporate headquarter. Below is a handy checklist of things you need to think about, as well as the best tools you can use for either free or commercial tools where free alternatives are not available or significantly inferior to the commercial ones.
Google Alerts
To be on top of things, it is important to know what happens as early as possible. Google Alerts sends you an email every time someone mentions the words and phrases you specify. This can be anything from trademarks that are important to you, people of interest or general words and phrases that are important to your business. You can have alerts for all employees, freelancers you use, your trademarks including websites you run and words and phrases you focus on. All of this gives you a good overview of what is being talked about that matters internally. Google’s notification is free to use and helps you to be early in terms of being on top of what your competitors in Mexico are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.Majestic.com

Ranks.nl has many professional SEO tools that I can really recommend. One of the tools I use most is Page Analyzer. With this tool, you can check keyword density on each subpage of your domain to optimize for keywords or phrases. If the paid marketing agent you are planning to use is at all professional, they probably use the tools available from ranks.nl – or similar tools extensively.Need help deciding whether to use a paid marketing agent or manage the project yourself?
