Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro handle content creation versus community management billing?

AgencyPro lets you categorize tracked time by activity type, so content creation work (copywriting, graphic design, video editing) is tracked separately from community management tasks (responding to comments, engaging with followers, monitoring mentions). When generating invoices, you can create distinct line items for each, allowing clients to see exactly what they pay for content production versus ongoing community engagement. This transparency helps justify retainer value and clarifies billing for different social media services.

Can I separate ad spend from social media management fees?

Yes, AgencyPro supports line items beyond time-based billing. When creating invoices, add ad spend as a separate pass-through cost, distinct from management fees based on tracked hours or fixed rates. This separation helps clients understand what they pay for your social media expertise versus what goes directly to Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, or other platforms, reducing billing confusion and making it easier to justify management fees based on campaign optimization and strategy work.

How do I invoice for both monthly community management and one-off content campaigns?

AgencyPro handles both recurring retainer invoices and one-time project billing. Set up monthly retainer invoices that automatically include tracked community management hours, then create separate project invoices for one-off content campaigns, influencer partnerships, or social media audits. Clients see clear separation between ongoing community management and additional content projects, avoiding confusion about what's included in their monthly retainer versus extra work.

What if clients want to see which posts were created or which platforms were managed?

AgencyPro invoices support detailed line items and descriptions. When creating invoices from tracked social media work, you can add notes specifying which platforms were managed, how many posts were created, which campaigns were launched, or which influencers were engaged. This level of detail helps clients understand the scope of work completed and justifies social media retainer value, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
