Which architecture marketing agency should you shortlist?
Start with the work your practice needs next. TERAMOK, Archmark, Siana Marketing and Third & Arch offer different combinations of architecture experience, positioning, websites, content and search. A firm rebuilding its portfolio has a different brief from one seeking better-qualified project enquiries or help organizing business development. Compare that brief against relevant work and a written scope before choosing an agency.
Disclosure: TERAMOK publishes this comparison and has a commercial interest in being selected. This is a four-agency shortlist, not an independent market-wide ranking. Provider descriptions are based on their own public pages; those pages do not independently establish performance. The order below is not a scored league table.
Compare four options by fit
TERAMOK
Useful fit: A connected strategy, portfolio, architectural film, website and search program.
Evidence to review: Named architecture engagement and published pricing.
Before appointing: Can you show the work and enquiry outcomes most comparable to our practice, with geography and measurement periods clear?
Archmark
Useful fit: Architecture-focused branding, marketing and practice coaching.
Evidence to review: Its about page describes the architecture-only focus; its portfolio names architecture practices.
Before appointing: Which parts of coaching, website work and ongoing marketing are included in our proposed engagement?
Siana Marketing
Useful fit: Search-led visibility across construction, architecture and design.
Evidence to review: Its site lists SEO, GEO and agentic search optimization, with architecture among its industries.
Before appointing: What will you change on our site, which enquiries count as qualified, and how do you substantiate AI-search results?
Third & Arch
Useful fit: AEC positioning, brand identity and website work.
Evidence to review: Its site describes branding, web design and marketing and shows named work including Apeiro Design and Conti Federal.
Before appointing: Who will create project content, maintain the site and measure outcomes after launch?
What the latest architecture data changes about the brief
The AIA/Deltek September 2026 report, published October 21 recorded a national Architecture Billings Index of 44.7; 50 indicates unchanged billings. Average firm backlogs were 6.2 months. This is national survey context, not a prediction for your firm. TERAMOK’s practical implication: ask an agency how it will help you compete for suitable commissions, rather than rewarding traffic or followers alone.
Five things every shortlisted agency should demonstrate
Practice fit: work for a comparable project type and client audience. Ask what the agency actually delivered, not just whether a recognizable logo appears on its site.
Evidence: a dated baseline, reporting period, service scope and clear outcome definitions. A developer reservation result is not architecture-commission proof.
Delivery: who owns strategy, writing, design, development, production and approvals. Both in-house and external teams need clear accountability.
Measurement: enquiries, accepted opportunities, meetings, proposals and appointments tracked separately. Ask how referrals and long sales cycles are treated.
Commercial clarity: a written scope showing fees, media, travel, production, licenses, hosting, maintenance and exclusions where applicable. Compare the same deliverables and period.
What relevant TERAMOK architecture proof looks like
Our Aristides Dallas Architects case study describes a Greek architecture engagement dating from 2021, including content strategy, graphic design, editorial reels and an organized footage archive. It reports audience growth from 8,000 to 20,000 followers. Those are TERAMOK-reported audience outcomes from Greece, not a count of new US commissions or a forecast for your practice.
For a firm evaluating us, the useful questions are which project stories we produced, how the archive supports proposals and press, and how we would measure quality lead generation for your specific audience. Request appointment or pipeline evidence separately from audience metrics.
How much should an architecture firm spend?
There is no responsible universal percentage or retainer for every practice. First define the work: positioning, a portfolio rebuild, production, ongoing content, search or a combination. Ask each agency to itemize the same brief. TERAMOK’s current rate card shows service ranges and inclusions; your written scope should determine the actual commitment. Do not assume that websites, film, media and ongoing management are included in a branding price.
Send each agency the same short brief
Our priority project types, target client and service region.
Two or three representative projects, with our role and permissions to use the material.
Our current website and the main problem it fails to solve.
The enquiry and opportunity information we can currently verify.
The deliverables, approvals, budget boundaries and launch dependencies we need you to address.
Useful questions before signing
Should an architecture firm choose a local agency?
Local knowledge can matter for project access, photography and relationships. Ask how site visits and client research will work, and distinguish an agency’s actual office location from markets it serves. Choose the team that can substantiate the experience your brief needs.
Does an agency need to produce every film in-house?
Ask who will do the work, how the architectural brief reaches the crew, what usage rights apply and who is accountable for revisions. The production model should support quality and cost transparency; it is not proof of results by itself.
Can an agency guarantee new commissions or AI recommendations?
An agency can commit to agreed delivery and reporting. Appointments also depend on project demand, credentials, fees and your team’s response. AI answers vary. For Google’s AI search features, ordinary search requirements apply; eligibility does not guarantee inclusion.
Choose the next step that matches the problem
Use our agency scorecard to compare evidence, or read the practical architecture marketing plan if you need to define the brief first. If you want to assess TERAMOK, bring a project and your current enquiry process to a strategy call.
