How White Label Social Media Management Works Behind the Scenes

Let’s be real: managing the social media accounts of several clients can be an absolute nightmare.

You’re often drowning in content calendars and engagement reports and trying to boost your clients’ social media presence (while somehow keeping your sanity). 

The good news is that white label social media management can save the day.  

But what actually goes on behind the scenes of a white label solution? Is it magic, robots, or a team of over-caffeinated creatives? 

In this post, we’ll pull back the curtain and show you how white label social media management really works—from automated scheduling to seamless client branding—so you can scale your agency without breaking a sweat. 

Let’s dive in. 

White label social media management: How it works

White label social media management can present itself in a few different ways:

• Social media services that an agency does on behalf of their clients
• Social media tools that can be rebranded with an agency’s logo and colors
• Social media reports that match your agency or company’s branding

The overall process for white label social media management goes a little something like this.

1. Your agency onboards your new client

It all kicks off when you land a new client. From there, it’s your show.

You run the discovery call, ask all the right questions, and dive deep into your clients’ brand goals, target audience, voice, and what “winning” looks like for them.

The client onboarding phase is the relationship-building stage, and it’s all about you. They see your agency’s branding, hear from your team, and trust your expertise. 

Behind the scenes, you’re laying the foundation for a killer content strategy that your white label social media management agency will later bring to life.

2. You put together the brand and content strategy for your client

Once the onboarding is squared away, it’s time to create your client’s overarching strategy and brand guidelines.

These brand assets can include the following:

• Brand voice and tone
• Visual style guide
• Preferred platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or all of the above)
• Post frequency and content types
• Any sensitive topics or major no-nos

As an agency handling the creation and posting of your client’s content, you’re acting as a white label social media marketing provider. So you want to make sure you have clear guidelines so you can seamlessly take over their voice and messaging.

3. Your team creates and schedules the content

Now, the content factory starts humming. Your team of skilled copywriters, designers, and social media pros gets to work creating posts that fit your clients’ brands like a glove.

Your agency will handle everything from caption writing and hashtag research to image sourcing and graphic design. 

Once your team has finalized your client’s first batch of content, it’s time to turn to your white-labeled publishing tool.

For example, your agency could set up Vista Social with their branding, input the batch of content for approval, and send it off to your client like it’s your very own management tool.

4. Your client reviews and approves the content

Before anything hits your client’s public feeds, you’ll want to give them a chance to review it all. This is their opportunity to provide feedback or tweaks before it all goes live.

With Vista Social, you can provide a link to your white-labeled approval feed, giving your client access to each piece of content plus the ability to leave comments or reject/approve each individual post.

The approval process stays completely under your agency’s control, and your brand stays front and center.

5. Your content is published to your client’s social media profiles

Once approved, the content goes live. Your white label social media scheduling tool (*ahem,* Vista Social) handles the publishing using secure integrations with your clients’ social media accounts.

There’s no need for your client to lift a finger or log into another platform. 

Everything is timed for optimal performance, and every post looks like it came straight from your client, even while your agency is working perfectly in the background.

6. Reporting and analytics are generated with your branding

After the social media content goes live, the next step is to track its performance.

You can generate performance reports that are completely branded with your logo and colors, sharing all the juicy metrics like engagement, reach, impressions, clicks, and more.

Want to wow your clients even more? 

Some tools let you automate this process, delivering monthly reports straight to your client’s inbox with your agency’s name on it.
