What to ask before choosing a management agency

Make the responsibilities clear

Before agreeing to a partnership, ask exactly which services are included, who will do the work and how progress will be reported. Discuss account access, content ownership and approval processes. Clear expectations are more useful than broad promises of growth.

Understand the commercial terms

Request a written explanation of fees, payment timing, cancellation terms and any exclusivity requirements. Ask how refunds, chargebacks and platform fees affect the calculation. Take time to review the agreement and consider independent legal advice before signing.

Your boundaries should be documented and respected. An agency that is a good fit should welcome questions and give you time to make an informed decision.
