What's slowing your organization down?

A past agency underdelivered

I need a shortlist before the board meets

We've outgrown our current setup

Donor growth has stalled

Sound familiar?

If 3+ of these are true, your marketing is costing you donors.

Most organizations wait until giving drops before they look. By then, it's a rebuild across a full giving cycle — not a quick win.

Donor growth has plateaued

Acquisition is flat, retention is slipping, and every campaign feels like starting from zero.

A previous agency underdelivered

A for-profit playbook, strategy decks with no follow-through, and reporting that never translated to board language.

The board is asking sharper ROI questions

You report activity; the board asks about cost per dollar raised. The gap gets wider every quarter.

Your Google Ad Grant is underused

Up to $10K/month in free search spend — capped, mismanaged, or forgotten entirely.

Marketing is everyone's job — and no one's strategy

Program managers update the website, development drafts emails, leadership approves every detail. No unified plan.

Reporting is never board-ready

Dashboards full of sessions and opens, nothing connecting campaigns to mission outcomes or donor lifetime value.

The vetting rigor

Why the agency we match won't be your next bad story.

If a past partner burned you, you don't need another pitch — you need to see the selection process. Here's exactly how an agency earns a place on our nonprofit roster.

Portfolio & outcomes review

Real nonprofit results — donor retention, cost per dollar raised — not awards or aesthetics.

Team & craft audit

Who actually does the work: in-house strategists and writers, or outsourced churn.

Client reference checks

We call past nonprofit clients ourselves, including engagements that ended.

Sector fluency screen

Grant cycles, seasonal giving, Ad Grants rules, board dynamics — tested, not claimed.

Ongoing performance review

Staying on the roster requires continued client outcomes. Partners get removed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met John after he offered to give my colleague and I a quick crash course into what SEO is. Flash forward a few months later, we decided to dive deeper into improving our SEO ranking and connected back with John to pair us with an agency that would help deliver the results we were looking for. A great and personable experience both working with John and the agency he connected us with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to be referred to TAG in my search for a new SEO partner. Id been burned a number of times with monthly SEO retainers that delivered low quality work with little or no ROI. I am a month in to my engagement with a firm John matched me with,  and I am delighted to report the work is noticeably expert. John was attentive, supportive and thorough in his matching process. I highly recommend working with John at TAG if you are looking to find an honest, expert marketing firm.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding an agency that aligned with our values, got our vision and worked within our budget was like finding a needle in a haystack, but John was able to help us do just that. He asked very detailed questions at the start of the process and made real effort to understand what we needed before setting up some valuable introductions for us. I would definitely recommend reaching out to him if you're looking for creative agencies.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My company had an excellent experience working with TAG to find an SEO wizard to help us improve our ecomm organic traffic and authority.  The experi made has been exceptional and we are trusting TAG to help us find more talent to help us with Klaviyo. I highly recommend TAG.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met John through Score and was happy to find a business that can actually recommend REAL professionals (especially because with the world of the internet it is hard to find talent). We were recommended an SEO service that was STELLAR and got us the business results we were looking for! Looking forward to working again with the Agency Guide for other marketing needs for our small business.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went to The Agency Guide with what we suspected was an impossible request--finding someone experienced with social media in an area of emerging tech that few knew about . . . and he found someone that not only had the exact right experience, but also produced very high quality work and who was great to work with. They became a valuable part of our team. It felt like a needle in a haystack situation, but they found our person so quickly--and the whole process was so easy for us. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just recently booked an SEO agency that was sourced by TAG. We worked with John and he is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, as well as seems to have many resources. He was able to source an agency that meets our budget and needs. We are excited to see the results in the oncoming months.
