The short answer
A strong agency helps with launch planning, creator outreach, affiliate activation, content briefing, listing optimization, paid amplification, reporting, and ongoing iteration. Some agencies only cover one or two of those layers. The stronger ones understand how they connect.
What good looks like
Clear service definitions, proof pages that show outcomes, and enough operational depth to explain what happens after the kickoff call.
