BaaDigi vs a Typical Agency: How Fast Does Your Website Actually Get Fixed?
Most agencies handle website changes the same way: your request gets logged, handed to a developer, scheduled, and sent back for review. BaaDigi removed every hand-off. The person who takes your request is the person who makes the change, on a Next.js site, with AI inside the code editor. Here is how the two models compare — and the questions to ask your current agency.

The Short Answer
Quick answer: BaaDigi replies to support requests in under 15 minutes and gets website changes live within one hour, 6am–4pm Pacific, Monday through Friday, with emergencies answered within an hour until 9pm on weekdays. The moment someone takes your request, you get an email with their name. A typical agency routes changes through a ticket queue and a developer hand-off, and many never publish a response time at all. BaaDigi support is included on every plan, from $297 to $3,997 per month, with the same response times for every client.

A typical marketing agency
Pricing: Varies by agency. Ask whether changes are included or billed per change or per hour, and get it in writing.
Pros
- Can handle large projects with a dedicated development team
- Established processes for big redesigns
- Works on whatever platform your site is already on
Cons
- Changes pass through several people before they go live
- Response times are often not written down anywhere
- You rarely know who is working on your request
- Page-builder and plugin sites need extra care before every edit
Best for: Businesses that change their website rarely and mostly buy large, scheduled projects
Why does the typical agency take so long?
It is not laziness — it is the hand-offs. The account manager who reads your email usually cannot make the change. They write it up, a developer picks it up when the next batch of work starts, and it comes back for review. Every step adds time.
BaaDigi removed those steps. Every site we run is on Next.js, and everyone on our team can make changes directly with an AI coding assistant. The person who reads your email fixes it.
What should I ask my current agency?
- What is your response time, and is it in writing? - How long does a simple text or photo change take? - Who will actually make the change? - What happens if my site goes down at 6pm on a Tuesday? - Are changes included, or billed per change or per hour?
Which should you choose?
Stay with your agency: if you rarely change your website, your agency already answers fast, and you mostly buy big scheduled projects.
Switch to BaaDigi: if your website changes wait days or weeks, you never know who is working on your request, or a broken form has cost you leads before.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast should a marketing agency respond to support requests?
Fast enough that it is written down. BaaDigi commits to replies in under 15 minutes and website changes within one hour, 6am–4pm Pacific on weekdays. If your agency will not put a response time in writing, that tells you something.
How long should a website change take?
A text, price, photo, or new-page change should not take weeks. At BaaDigi it is live within one hour during business hours. Only a complete rebuild takes longer.
Does BaaDigi charge extra for website changes?
No. Support is included on every BaaDigi plan, from $297 to $3,997 per month, with the same response times for every client.
How do I switch agencies without losing my website?
Ask your current agency who owns your domain, hosting, and website files, and get access to all three before you switch. BaaDigi builds on your own domain, and you own what we build.
