Have you found your ideal niche? Do you believe you’d be better off with a wide variety of services to secure ongoing work?
I talk to a lot of agency owners who are convinced they can be like the big agencies and offer a broad array of services to attract a wide client base. However, how did those agencies get to that point? Most likely, they started small and expanded over time.
This is how you could approach to growth journey by focusing on a niche where you excel while keeping an eye on future service expansion.
If you're curious about the most promising niches that can generate significant demand, I have some insights for you.
Many people would point you to trending niches. However, I believe the focus should be on identifying the niche that aligns best with your unique strengths and interests.
It’s also not about a niche where you currently have more clients. This could just be a sign that your business has grown mostly on referrals so far, and since referrals aren’t scalable this wouldn’t be the best option.
How do you select the perfect niche?
7 questions to choose your ideal niche:
How much experience do you have in a particular niche? Assess your experience and background to identify which niche you understand the most.
Which niche is the most reachable? Accessibility plays a key role. If a niche is difficult to reach—whether due to a lack of clear decision-makers or limited online presence—then it may not be the best choice. A reachable niche allows for easier networking and client acquisition, which are essential for growth.
Do you understand the compelling problems and opportunities in that niche? People want to solve their biggest problem the fastest. If you identify a niche where you can solve pressing problems, you have found a lucrative niche and you’ll you not only create value for your clients but also position your agency to command higher fees for your services.
Is your niche willing to pay to solve their problem? Financial considerations cannot be overlooked. A niche that recognizes its problems but lacks the budget to address them will ultimately lead to frustration for both the agency and the client.
Is the niche large enough? A niche should be large enough to provide ample opportunities for client acquisition and revenue generation, allowing your agency to scale effectively over time.
Can you dominate this niche? Which doesn’t mean you should drop it just because there’s competition. By carving out a unique position within a niche, agency owners can establish themselves as leaders and attract a loyal client base.
Can you get repeat business in this niche? You can build a more stable model in a niche where clients are likely to return for ongoing services and create long-term relationships to maintain a steady pipeline of work.
Analyze your niche options by asking these questions and rating each from 1 to 10. The one that gets the highest score is the one you should really consider. Remember that declaring a niche just means you’ll only be marketing to that niche, not that you have to let go of any clients that don’t fit in it. Finally, to dominate this chosen niche you’ll have to stick with it for a while, don’t start adding other niches before seeing results.
