Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro handle link building and outreach billing?

AgencyPro supports project-based billing, so you can invoice for link placements, guest posts, and outreach campaigns as deliverables rather than just hours. Track link building activities as tasks or projects, then include them in invoices with fixed pricing or hourly rates. This allows you to bill for successful placements even if the outreach time varies, giving you flexible billing options for SEO services that don't fit pure hourly models.

Can I separate technical SEO audits from ongoing optimization in invoices?

Yes, AgencyPro lets you categorize tracked time by project type or activity. Create separate line items for technical audit work, ongoing optimization, link building, and content strategy, each with appropriate billing rates. This provides transparency for clients who want to see where their SEO budget goes and helps justify the value of both one-time technical fixes and ongoing ranking improvements.

How do I invoice for both monthly SEO retainers and additional project work?

AgencyPro handles both recurring retainer invoices and one-time project billing. Set up monthly retainer invoices that automatically include tracked optimization hours, then create separate project invoices for additional work like site migrations, penalty recovery, or large-scale link building campaigns. Clients see clear separation between their monthly SEO services and extra project work, avoiding confusion and billing disputes.

What if clients want to see which keywords were researched or which links were placed?

AgencyPro invoices can include detailed line items and notes. When creating invoices from tracked SEO work, you can add descriptions that specify which keywords were researched, which competitor analyses were completed, or which links were successfully placed. This level of detail helps clients understand the ongoing SEO investment and justifies retainer value, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
