How do you find a good content marketing agency?
Ask to see recent published work in your industry (not case-study slides — actual articles that are ranking or generating leads). Ask who will do the writing (in-house team, freelancers, offshore, AI-augmented). Ask what happens in month 4 when the initial content wave is out but rankings haven't kicked in yet. If they answer clearly, they're probably good.
