What is a social media management agreement?

A social media management agreement is a contract for freelancers who manage social media accounts on behalf of clients. It covers content creation, posting schedules, engagement, reporting, and account access - all the things that can get messy without clear terms.

When should you use one?

When a client hires you to manage their social media presence - creating content, scheduling posts, responding to comments, running campaigns, or reporting on performance. Most social media work is ongoing, so this template is structured as a monthly arrangement.

What's included

Platforms and posting schedule - which platforms you'll manage (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, etc.), how many posts per week, and content types (static, carousel, video, stories).

Content creation - what's included in your fee (copywriting, graphic design, video editing) and what requires additional budget.

Approval workflow - how content is reviewed and approved before publishing. Includes turnaround times for client feedback.

Account access and security - how login credentials are shared, who has access, and what happens to account access when the contract ends.

Community management - whether responding to comments and DMs is included, response time expectations, and escalation process for sensitive messages.

Reporting - what metrics you'll track, how often you'll report (monthly is standard), and the format of reports.
