How many people on your team work in PR, content, SEO, media outreach, or client delivery?
6 or more people, with distinct roles and processes
2–5 people; the team handles multiple roles
One person or a project team without a consistent process
How many active client projects are you currently managing at the same time?
10+ projects
4-9 projects
1-3 projects
How often do clients ask you to secure media placements, mentions, backlinks, thought leadership opportunities, or media visibility?
Generally speaking, this is part of most client projects
Sometimes, but demand is growing
Rarely or almost never
Do you have a repeatable process for planning publications: brief, platform selection, approvals, placement, and reporting?
Yes, the process is in place, but we want to speed it up and scale it up
To some extent, a lot of it is done by hand
No, each project is built from scratch
How often do you need content published in different countries, regions, cities, or languages?
Often: clients operate in multiple regions
Occasionally: individual geo-targeted tasks appear
Rare: almost all customers in a single market
Can you quickly identify relevant media outlets for a specific niche, city, country, language, and client budget?
Yes, but we want more choice and transparency
To some extent, you often have to search manually
No, that takes too much time
Do you have clients who need local SEO/PR placements, regional mentions, or visibility in specific cities?
Yes, it's a regular need
Sometimes
No
What is your media delivery currently based on?
A combination of earned media, paid placements, sponsored/editorial content, and content distribution
Mainly earned media or manual outreach
Mostly occasional contractors or one-time purchases
If a client needs guaranteed or scheduled media placement, do you have a reliable way to complete the task on time?
Yes, but we want to expand our selection of venues and increase our profit margin
Sometimes, but the timing and predictability depend on external factors
No, that's hard to guarantee
10.
To what extent is your team overwhelmed by manually searching for venues, corresponding with them, clarifying terms, coordinating publications, and preparing reports?
It's heavily overloaded, which hinders scalability
Partially, but we're managing for now
Not overloaded
11.
How much time does it typically take to select and coordinate ad placements for a single client?
A few days or weeks
1–2 days
A few hours or almost instantly
12.
Do you rely primarily on earned media when a client requests media exposure?
Yes, but we see that this isn't always enough to ensure consistent results
Partially; we combine it with other formats
No, we already have a hybrid model
13.
What happens when earned media doesn’t deliver results by the deadline?
The customer is dissatisfied, and retention and trust suffer
We are looking for alternative formats, but not always in a systematic way
We have a straightforward fallback process
14.
Do you agree that agency growth requires not only “getting a placement” but also the ability to plan a hybrid visibility strategy?
Yes, customers need predictability, a mix of channels, and reporting
To some extent, but customers don't always understand this yet
No, earned media is enough for us
15.
Do you rely on a single main contractor, a media agency, a network of freelancers, or an in-house team for most of your publications?
Yes, and that creates operational risk
To be honest, we have 2 or 3 options
No, we have a diversified network of suppliers
16.
What would happen if your main provider raised prices, lowered quality, delayed publications, or failed to cover the necessary geographic areas?
This will seriously impact delivery, margins, or customer trust
It'll be a bit of a hassle, but we'll find a solution
Almost nothing—we already have backup plans
17.
Do you have a transparent system for comparing platforms based on price, topic, geographic coverage, metrics, format, and publication terms?
No, that's exactly what we need to improve
Partially, but the data is fragmented
Yes, we already have a system like that
18.
Could you bundle publications through Medialister as a new service for clients?
Yes, this could be a standalone product or an add-on
Maybe, but you need to understand the packaging and the margin
No, that doesn't fit our model
19.
Would you be willing to add a margin to media placements if the process became faster, more transparent, and more scalable?
Yes, it's a direct source of additional revenue
It may depend on the client and the pricing model
No, we do not resell such services
20.
What would your agency lose if it didn’t implement Medialister or a similar marketplace infrastructure within the next 12 months?
We risk losing delivery speed, margins, customers, geographic coverage, and the ability to offer hybrid visibility campaigns
We may lose some capabilities, but for now it’s not a critical issue
Nothing major; we're happy with the current model
21.
Imagine your agency in 2–3 years. What role do you want to play for your clients?
To be a strategic visibility partner that combines earned, paid, and editorial placements, SEO, content, and AI-driven visibility
To be a strong PR and content agency, though currently without a fully developed operational platform
To remain within the current model without significantly expanding services
