The Legit Check

How legit is your marketing right now?

Answer yes or no to six questions about how your marketing gets measured. Your score updates as you go, and nothing leaves this page.

Can you tie last month's ad spend to booked revenue?

If the money trail stops at clicks, nobody really knows what worked.

Does any vendor grade its own homework?

When the people spending the money also write the report card, you get a sales pitch. This is the one question where no is the right answer.

Do you know your cost per booked job by channel?

Cost per lead flatters everybody. Cost per booked job tells you where the next dollar should go.

Is your TV buy measured against calls, not just ratings?

Ratings say who might have seen the spot. Calls by market say who picked up the phone.

Could someone explain why each dollar went where it went?

Every line on a media plan should have a reason a person can say out loud.

Is a senior person checking what your AI tools produce?

AI is fast, and it is sometimes confidently wrong. Someone with experience should catch that before your customers do.

Team

Six senior people. 65+ years combined.

Sarah Fisher started her first agency, Small Business Marketing, to protect businesses from being taken advantage of.

The goal was to help owners use every dollar of their budget to the best of its ability and to run strategies that actually grow the business. As the client list grew past small business, Legit Marketing Group was born. It kept the small-business habits of close attention and careful spending, and now puts them to work in data-driven growth plans for companies of any size, in any market.

Insights · Our stance on AI

Experience leads. AI accelerates.

We're an AI-powered agency that keeps experienced people at the controls. AI makes us faster. It never gets the final say.

From the 2026 article, Your AI Is Only as Smart as the Humans Behind It
  1. We know the data before the AI touches it.

    Garbage in is still garbage out, only faster.

  2. We correct AI when it's wrong.

    Made-up stats, misattributed sources and assumptions that don't match your market get caught by a person.

  3. AI amplifies our judgment.

    It never replaces it.

  4. We stay accountable.

    A person who understands your business can always explain the why.
