BeautyVetted Pro vs hiring an agency.
The short version: an agency sells people and flexibility on a negotiated retainer. Pro does one job on a fixed weekly cadence, run by the system behind a site you can inspect before you spend a dollar. If your need is broader than a content engine, an agency is the right call, and this page tells you where that line sits.
| BeautyVetted Pro | A typical agency retainer | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Fixed per location, handed to you in writing on the first call | A negotiated retainer, quoted after discovery, and usually different for every client |
| Proof before you pay | A live site the same system runs every week, inspectable page by page | A portfolio and case studies, which show past work but not the system that will do yours |
| Who does the work | The system plus our team, the same combination that runs beautyvetted.com | An account team whose composition can change under you |
| Contract | Month to month after the build | Commonly 6 to 12 month terms; ask for the early-exit clause before you sign anything |
| Scope | Content production and publishing for your channels, on a fixed weekly cadence | Broader when you pay for it: paid ads management, PR, full rebrands |
"Typical" describes common retainer structures, not any specific firm. Your quotes are the real comparison; get them in writing.
Questions
- When is an agency the better choice?
- When you need work outside a content engine's scope: paid advertising management, a full rebrand, PR, or a website rebuild. Pro does one job on a fixed cadence. An agency's flexibility is real, and for those projects it is worth the retainer.
- Is Pro cheaper than an agency?
- Sometimes, and we will not pretend to know your quotes. What we can say is that our rate card is fixed per location and you get it in writing on the first call, so comparing is easy once you have their number too.
- Can Pro and an agency coexist?
- Yes. Some practices keep an agency for paid ads and let Pro run the content engine. The build defines scope, so the two do not step on each other.
Bring your agency quotes to the call. If theirs is the better deal, we will say so.
