Agorapulse Retainer Launch Sprint (7-10 days)

A 7-10 day deployment that turns Agorapulse into a resellable social management retainer for local businesses, covering account setup, unified inbox routing, content calendar build, and branded reporting.

Prerequisites
  • Agorapulse Standard seat at $79/mo billed annually (or $99/mo monthly) per user, with 10 social profiles available on that seat
  • Client admin access to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and TikTok business accounts, plus publishing permissions
  • Google Analytics property access for the client so ROI tracking can be wired into Agorapulse reporting
  • A signed scope covering 2-3 profiles, response-time expectations, and monthly report delivery date
  • Approved brand assets and a starter bank of 20-30 post concepts for the first content calendar
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create the client workspace in Agorapulse and connect each social profile (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok) under the Standard seat's 10-profile allowance
  • 2.Confirm publishing permissions on every connected profile and note any network that requires a re-auth
  • 3.Link the client's Google Analytics property so ROI measurement flows into Agorapulse reports
  • 1.Configure the unified inbox so messages and organic comments from all networks land in one queue
  • 2.Build response templates for the five most common message types (hours, pricing, booking, complaint, praise)
  • 3.Set inbox assignment rules so each thread routes to a named agency team member
  • 1.Draft the first 30-day content calendar in the Agorapulse publishing calendar
  • 2.Schedule the first two weeks of approved posts across the client's active networks
  • 3.Add calendar notes for campaign beats the client has already committed to
  • 1.Turn on social listening for the client's brand name, key product terms, and two named competitors
  • 2.Set mention alerts to route into the unified inbox so nothing sits unread
  • 3.Document the escalation path for negative mentions in the client's shared runbook
  • 1.Configure the branded monthly report template with the client's logo and color set
  • 2.Select the audience and top-content report blocks the client actually reads, and drop the rest
  • 3.Schedule the report to auto-generate on the client's billing date each month
  • 1.Run a live walkthrough with the client on the unified inbox and approval flow
  • 2.Hand over the response template library and confirm who owns replies on weekends
  • 3.Capture any profile or permission gaps and close them before go-live
  • 1.Publish the first scheduled batch and verify each post landed on the correct network
  • 2.Check the inbox for the first 24 hours of inbound and tune routing rules if threads are misassigned
  • 3.Send the client a day-one summary with post links and inbox volume
  • 1.Review the first auto-generated report against the client's stated KPIs and adjust report blocks
  • 2.Log the retainer's baseline metrics (follower count, engagement rate, response time) for month-two comparison
  • 3.Confirm the monthly retainer invoice and reporting cadence in writing
Agorapulse Standard seat at $79/mo billed annually ($99/mo monthly) per user covers up to 10 social profiles; a two-seat agency setup runs $158-$198/mo, and the productized retainer is priced at $1,250/mo per client.7-10 days
ROI Logic

Agorapulse charges per user seat, not per client account, so a single Standard seat at $79/mo annually can carry up to 10 social profiles across multiple small clients. At a $1,250/mo retainer per client, the tool cost is recovered inside the first client engagement, and every additional client added to the same seat widens margin without adding a license. The constraint to watch is headcount: each new agency operator who needs inbox access adds another $79-$99/mo seat, so margin scales with client count only while the delivery team stays lean.

Deliverables
  • Configured Agorapulse workspace with all client social profiles connected and publishing permissions verified
  • Unified inbox with response templates, assignment rules, and an escalation runbook for negative mentions
  • 30-day content calendar with the first two weeks of posts scheduled across the client's active networks
  • Branded monthly report template scheduled to auto-generate on the client's billing date
  • Baseline metrics sheet capturing follower count, engagement rate, and inbox response time for month-two comparison
Definition of Done

The client's profiles are live in Agorapulse, the first scheduled batch has published without errors, and the branded monthly report has generated once with the client's logo and selected report blocks intact.
