Working with Cardinal: FAQs
Whether you’re building your digital marketing program from scratch or ditching an old agency that didn’t quite deliver, working with a new digital marketing agency can ignite a lot of questions.
- “Will I be heard and my needs understood?”
- “What kind of results can I expect?”
- “How often will I receive updates?”
- “What do their reports look like?”
- “What happens if things don’t work out as planned?”
These are all great questions, and here are our answers.
No matter your goals or your budget, you can always count on transparent communication and a thorough onboarding process. We work collaboratively, meaning we’ll always listen to your thoughts, ideas, and goals before coming up with our plan of action.
You can fully outsource our services, or call on us to supplement your in-house team. Either way, our aim is to create a respectful, collaborative, and profitable relationship.
You can expect comprehensive, data-driven results that were expertly planned for and meticulously worked towards. And if things don’t work out as planned, rest assured we’re never of the “good enough, we give up” mentality. We keep working until you get what you asked for, plain and simple.
Here’s How We Take Care Of Our Clients
We’re trusted by some of the biggest names in healthcare. Why? Because we always make sure our clients’ needs are put first.

Fast, Painless Onboarding
Our onboarding process is designed to get you locked and loaded quickly and painlessly, with no burdensome time commitments needed. Quick doesn’t mean careless, however. The process is duly thorough to ensure your goals are met. Existing campaigns are evaluated and supported so that you experience no loss in leads during the transition.
Timely, Transparent Reporting
We’re not in the marketing business to just make nebulous promises and pocket your cash. Instead, we closely monitor campaigns and empower you with direct access to your data through our proprietary AI-powered software.
You’ll also receive easy-to-understand reports that you can share out with stakeholders and use to justify business decisions.
