What red flags? Just looks like a local agency that probably underpays and overworks young new hires but they all do that nowadays. The easiest way to vet an agency is confirm if they actually worked with the case study companies they highlight and how recently. Ask how many of those cos are still working with them and what their breakdown of current clients is by co size.

Agree with SEO 1. If an agency has mostly young or recent college grads it’s not aaalways a bad sign but it is a pretty good indicator of low pay

This is a very old comment, but I wanted to update this info. The company hires managers with 5-10 years of experience. They compensation and benefits are great, too.

As of 2025, the company is prone to regular employee layoffs as AI tools and cheaper outsourcing replace them. Over time, a few key individuals within the company have influenced leadership to adopt a "corporate woke" style of thinking, which is not a stable investment in time for new employees seeking long-term employment.
