For Hint, the key signal is that they’re actively building domain authority in a pretty competitive space, not just sitting still. That tells me they understand the long game of SEO and are putting in the work on their own brand, which most agencies strangely don’t. Would I hire them based on this alone? If you’re okay with a partner that’s still climbing rather than already dominating, yes, they’re worth a serious look, because they’re clearly investing in their own visibility instead of relying on sales talk. If you want a “we already own the market” type agency, you might keep them on the shortlist but push harder in the sales call for proof of results on client sites.
