Full scope digital agencies and practical expectations
I have been looking at agencies that combine development marketing and design in one structure and I still have mixed impressions about how consistent that model is when applied to different types of projects

Descriptions can be polished, but real delivery is another story. What helped me was skipping the agency model altogether and going straight to freelancers with proven work. You can actually see completed projects up front before you hire anyone, check this out, it's a project board where real clients post budgets and freelancers pitch with their portfolios. No fluff, just past work and reviews. Way easier to spot who actually delivers vs who just talks a good game. I've found better quality and lower stress this way than dealing with middleman agencies.
