Ask for narrow scope, not a big plan
An agency proposing a three-month analysis before anything is built sells hours. For a small business, the first step should be one workflow with clear scope: what should improve, which data is needed, and how it is measured. Our 2-6 week pilot model is made for exactly this.
Ask for references you can call
Anonymous claims about delivery counts say little. Ask to talk to customers and see products in operation. Aprex has built TapInn, in daily use, plus the 24AI and 24Markets labs - all viewable yourself.
Check the data understanding
Ask how the agency handles your data: where it is stored, who sees it, what happens on error. Vague answers here are a red flag no matter how impressive the demo is. Privacy and approval must be clarified before building, not after.
How Aprex works with small businesses
We are a small team in Tonsberg that designs, builds, and operates ourselves. You talk to the person who builds. We start with one workflow, agree clear scope, and give go/no-go after the pilot - continue, change scope, or stop.
