Why was Social Agency Scout created?

Social media is more important than ever for businesses. Yet finding a social media agency can be difficult and time consuming. Just as each business is unique, so is each agency. Each differs in size, services needed and provided, and budgets it works with. That’s why we created Social Agency Scout, the only free directory focused on helping businesses find agencies that offer social media services.

How does Social Agency Scout work?

Our directory is populated with agencies that offer social media services. Searching for an agency is easy. Just tell us what services you’re looking for and where you’d like the agency to be located. Within seconds, you’ll receive a list of agencies that meet both criteria. Click through that list to get more details about each agency’s size, services, and reviews.

Which geographic markets does the directory cover?

We realize that agency location is important to many businesses. In this beta stage of Social Agency Scout, we currently offer listings of agencies in several major cities in the US and some other countries. We are expanding this rapidly so watch out for more cities and countries soon.

Is it really free?

Indeed, it’s free for customers looking for a social media agency AND it’s free for agencies to have a page on Social Agency Scout. That’s hard to find — believe us, we looked.

How will a listing in Social Agency Scout help my agency?

A listing on Social Agency Scout gives you exposure in front of the right audience — those who are seeking an agency in your local area that provides the specific social media services that you offer.

Scout presents your agency to potential clients everyday — for free. We also offer a high quality backlink to your homepage — a great SEO benefit.
