Proof over promises
Ask for live websites, not only awards. Check mobile speed yourself. Read whether case studies name metrics you care about (leads, revenue, rankings) or only adjectives.
- Live portfolio URLs
- Named process (discovery → launch → care)
- Written scope and change-order rules
- Who actually does the work (senior vs offshore maze)
Red flags
Guaranteed #1 Google rankings. No contract. Huge upfront with zero milestones. Ownership of your domain/code left unclear. “Unlimited revisions” with no definition of done.
What good looks like at Brevia
Published packages, Chennai-based accountability, services spanning web, brand, SEO, and growth so you are not stitching five vendors. Start with consultation if your scope is custom.
FAQ
Should I pick the cheapest agency?+
Pick the clearest scope at a fair price. The cheapest bid often omits SEO, QA, or post-launch support — you pay later in rebuilds.
Is a big Mumbai/Bengaluru agency always better?+
Not for every SME. Fit, communication, and package clarity matter more than city prestige. Many Chennai studios deliver national-quality work remotely.
