You're running a genuinely strong programme

The free audit

Two stages. Zero obligation.

A 30-minute discovery call where we actually listen, followed by a tailored audit of your programme and competitor landscape — delivered back to you as a working document you can use regardless of whether you hire us.

Stage 1 — The 30-minute discovery call

No pitch deck, no pre-canned sales flow. We ask questions and build an honest picture of where your programme sits today (or where it could sit if you haven't launched yet). A sample of what we'll cover:

  • Your current setup. What platform you're on, how you chose it, the commercial terms, and whether you're tied in or flexible to migrate.
  • The commercial picture. What affiliate contributes to revenue today, your current CPA or ROAS, and — crucially — the number that would make the channel commercially viable for you.
  • Your partner mix. Who's performing (and why), which partner types you'd like to explore or avoid, and whether your commission structure has flexibility by partner or customer type.
  • The blockers. What frustrates you about the programme, what you know should be done but hasn't been, and what's stood in the way.
  • What success looks like. Your objective for the channel, the KPIs that actually matter to you, and what a successful programme looks like twelve months from now.

Stage 2 — The audit we deliver back

After the call, we do the real work. You receive a written audit covering:

  • Competitor activity. What your direct competitors are doing in the channel, which partners they're working with, and where they're winning — so you know exactly what you're measured against.
  • Partner gap analysis. The specific publishers, networks, and partner types you're missing from your current mix — and the ones most likely to move the needle first.
  • Lapsed partner & activity review. Which of your approved affiliates have gone quiet, which are worth reactivating, and which should be cut loose.
  • Commission structure review. Whether you're running a basic flat-rate structure or an advanced tiered one — and where restructuring would protect margin while staying competitive.
  • A prioritised action list. Specific, sequenced recommendations you can run in-house, with us, or with any other agency. No strings.

What our clients say about our affiliate marketing service

As an SEO, PPC and affiliate marketing agency, we have built fantastic relationships with B2C and B2B clients thanks to fantastic results and a collaborative delivery method. See what some of our clients say about our affiliate marketing management service.

Performance-based marketing for
B2B and B2C brands

Affiliate marketing is low-risk, high-reward, because you only pay ad publishers for successful conversions. At Glass Digital, we use this performance-based channel to help B2C and B2C clients across industries achieve a variety of online goals.

Our team have experience launching brand-new affiliate campaigns from scratch, revamping stagnant campaigns, and migrating campaigns to more suitable affiliate networks. A bespoke strategy is built around your unique business needs.

Affiliate marketing for
ecommerce

If you have an ecommerce site, your affiliate marketing campaign will likely work on a cost per acquisition (CPA) basis. This means that you will only pay a pre-agreed commission to the publisher if they refer a user who makes a qualifying purchase.

Our affiliate marketing experts use leading technologies and in-depth analysis to fine-tune commission rates, balancing them in a way that incentivises partners while maximising profit margins, to increase your business's overall returns.


Affiliate marketing for
lead generation

Affiliate marketing can also be used to generate highly qualified leads. Whether you want users to fill in an online enquiry form, call your customer service centre or complete another action, we can build an affiliate campaign that delivers measurable results.

Working closely alongside your in-house team, your affiliate marketing manager will set bespoke cost per lead (CPL) rates and constantly monitor performance to ensure campaigns deliver significant return on investment month after month.

Partner with a
growing network of top affiliates

As an affiliate marketing agency, we have built strong relationships with top affiliates across industries, and our little black book is constantly expanding. We tap into this thriving network to secure partnerships that work for your brand, as well as recruiting new affiliates specifically for your programme.

We work with a variety of publishers in order to maximise reach, from bloggers and Instagram influencers to cashback and comparison sites. This means that we can connect with your potential customers wherever they spend time online, and at touchpoints across the buying journey.

Where required, we will collaborate closely with you and the affiliate to produce high-quality creatives, from articles and social media posts to display banners and product descriptions. This is not only to increase click-through, but also to take full advantage of the associated PR opportunity.

Influencer Marketing Campaigns

We identify influencers within your niche and work with them to publish promotional content, focusing on the products and services that are most important to your brand.

Brand ambassador campaigns

By recruiting brand ambassadors, we can run long-term affiliate campaigns that generate a real buzz around your brand and build strong connections with key audiences.

Affiliate Sites

We can secure prominent placements on voucher sites, cashback sites, comparison shopping sites, business directories and more, minimising costs to maximise the value of conversions.

Display And Google Shopping Ads

Display and Google Shopping ads: While they usually work on a pay-per-click basis, you can use display and Google Shopping ads in an affiliate programme. That means you only pay when users convert.
