Frequently Asked Questions
How do we track time for content that requires multiple revision rounds?
Create separate time entries for each revision round, or use a single timer that tracks total time including all revisions. The system allows you to add notes for each revision, so you can see exactly how much time each round takes and identify clients who require excessive revisions for pricing adjustments.
Can we track time separately for research vs writing vs editing?
Yes, you can create separate time categories for research, writing, editing, and revisions. This helps you understand how much time each phase takes and price your content services more accurately. Many content agencies bill differently for research-heavy pieces versus straightforward writing assignments.
How do we handle time tracking for content that gets rejected or requires complete rewrites?
Track all time spent, including time on rejected content. This helps you identify problematic client relationships and adjust your processes. You can also set up time budgets per content piece and get alerts when time exceeds estimates, allowing you to address scope creep before it becomes a problem.
What about tracking time for content strategy and planning work?
Create separate categories for strategy work (content calendars, topic ideation, editorial planning) versus actual content creation. Many agencies bill strategy separately or include it in retainer packages. Tracking this time separately helps you understand the true cost of content strategy and price it appropriately.
