Multi-service agencies can be advantageous when your project spans several disciplines (e.g., design + development + marketing). However, check their scores per category — an agency may be strong in web development but less specialized in, say, AI/ML.

They've solved similar problems before, which reduces risk and accelerates delivery compared to agencies learning your domain on the job.
