Can WhatsApp marketing bring leads for a business in India?

What happens to my website and ads if I stop paying the agency?
Quick answer
You keep everything if the domain, hosting, website login and ad accounts are in your business name; you can simply hand access to someone else. If the agency owns them, your site may go offline and you may lose ad history. Put ownership in the contract before signing, and collect all logins before leaving.
What you should own from day one
- Domain name and hosting account.
- Website administrator login.
- Google Ads, Meta Business Manager and ad accounts, with the agency added as a partner.
- Google Analytics, Search Console and Google Business Profile.
- Design files, photos and videos you paid for.
Common problems when leaving
- The site was on the agency’s hosting and is switched off.
- Ads were run from the agency’s ad account, so history and audiences stay with them.
- Landing pages and forms were built on the agency’s tools.
How to exit cleanly
- Give notice as per the contract, in writing.
- Ask for a handover list: logins, files, tracking codes, ongoing renewals.
- Download reports and lead data.
- Remove agency access only after you have full admin rights everywhere.
Before you sign with any agency
Ask: “If we part ways, what do I keep?” A good agency answers clearly and puts it in writing.
| Asset | If in your name | If in agency's name |
|---|---|---|
| Domain and hosting | Site stays live | Site may go offline |
| Ad accounts | Keep history and audiences | Start again from zero |
| Analytics and Google profile | Keep all data | Data may be lost |
