Frequently Asked Questions
What can we help you with?
We're a comprehensive data agency for everything your business needs to grow, all under one roof. We cover performance marketing (PPC, SEO, email), web and e-shop development, AI solutions and automation, B2B company databases, data analytics, market research, PR, and creative and design. So you don't have to piece together services from multiple suppliers and waste time on coordination, everything is built to work together and pulls in one direction. On top of that, through our accredited Datawans Academy we train your in-house teams so they can work with these tools and data on their own.
What kinds of companies do you work with?
We work with businesses of every size, from startups and small e-shops, through mid-sized companies, all the way to corporations and the public sector. Each of these segments has different needs and a different pace, so we approach them differently. We operate in both B2B and B2C across Slovakia, the Czech Republic, the EU, and the US, which gives us insight into what works in practice. We always design solutions to fit the specific company and the stage it's currently in.
How much do your services cost?
Prices depend on the scope and complexity of the project. After an initial consultation, we'll prepare a transparent, tailored quote, usually within 48 hours. Some services are one-off (audit, database, training), others are long-term (campaign management, data analytics). You'll always know in advance what you're paying for and what results you can expect.
How does working with you work?
We always start with a no-obligation consultation where we map out your needs and goals. We then prepare a tailored solution proposal with a clear timeline and quote. Once approved, the implementation begins, and throughout the entire project you're in regular contact with a senior specialist who handles your particular niche.
What is web scraping and how does it help in marketing?
Web scraping is the automated collection of data from websites. It lets you get an overview of competitor pricing, product availability, or market trends, without manual copying. The data is then processed and structured so it's ready for analysis, reporting, or business decision-making. In marketing it helps you stay one step ahead of the competition.
What's the difference between a chatbot and an AI bot?
A classic chatbot works from pre-programmed answers and can only respond to the questions you've defined for it. An AI bot (powered by tools like ChatGPT or Claude) understands natural language, can answer questions no one programmed in advance, and learns from the context of your business. An AI bot therefore feels more natural and handles far more situations.
What is a B2B database and what is it for?
A B2B database is a set of verified company contacts (name, email, phone, company ID, and other details) prepared for use in sales and marketing. It serves to acquire new customers, reach out to potential partners, and build business. Our databases are regularly updated, GDPR-compliant, and delivered ready for immediate use (e.g. in Excel).
How do I choose the right training for my company?
It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want your team to work more effectively with AI, we recommend AI workshops. For marketing we offer SEO and PPC training; for working with data, training in GA4, Power BI, Python, or R. We always tailor training to your team's needs, and during the consultation we'll gladly help you choose what delivers immediate value. We're an MS SR accredited institution.
What does WCAG mean and is compliance mandatory?
WCAG is an international web accessibility standard that ensures a website is usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. For public institutions, compliance is mandatory under EU Directive 2016/2102. For private companies, an accessible web is still an advantage, it improves the user experience and SEO. We're happy to run a WCAG audit and propose specific adjustments.
How quickly can you get started?
For smaller projects and databases we can start within a few days. For larger projects (development, complex campaigns, training programs) we usually need 1 to 2 weeks to prepare and analyze. We'll agree on the exact timing during the initial consultation, just drop us a message and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
