The Problem

Retainers, briefs, and rank tracking usually live in three different tools.

A generic CRM tracks the client relationship, but has no idea what a retainer's monthly hour allowance is, what a creative brief needs sign-off on, or how a target keyword's rank has moved over the last quarter. Agencies end up stitching together a CRM, a project tool, and a rank-tracking subscription that never talk to each other.

Retainer hours-used tracking lives in a spreadsheet, updated (or not) after the fact.

Creative briefs get approved over email, with no structured record of objective, audience, or deliverables.

SEO rank history is checked in a separate paid tool with no link back to the client record.

How It Works

From retainer to brief to ranked keyword

Each of these is a real, working module attached to the same Client record your CRM already has.

Step 1

Set up the retainer

Monthly fee, hours included, and scope of work — with hours-used tracked live as the team logs time against it.

Step 2

Create the creative brief

Objective, target audience, and deliverables in a structured record with an approval workflow — draft, in review, approved.

Step 3

Track SEO keyword rank

Target keywords per client, with a real rank-check history logged over time — not a one-off snapshot.

Step 4

See usage against the retainer

Hours-used vs. hours-included is visible at a glance, so renewal conversations start from real numbers, not guesses.

Use Cases

Where this shows up in your day

Account Managers

Need to know if a client's retainer hours are on track before the renewal conversation.

Hours-used tracked live against the real retainer record.

Creative Teams

Need a structured brief before starting work, not a one-line Slack message.

Objective, audience, and deliverables captured once, approved once.

SEO Specialists

Need to show a client their keyword rank has actually improved over the quarter.

A real rank-history log per keyword, not a screenshot from another tool.

Agency Owners

Need retainer revenue and hours-used visible without exporting three spreadsheets.

All three modules live in the same organization's data as Finance.

Walkthrough

A retainer client, month to month

An account manager sets up a new retainer for a client: monthly fee, hours included, and scope of work.

A creative brief is created for the month's campaign, with objective and target audience, and moved through review to approval.

The team logs hours against the retainer as work is delivered — the hours-used bar updates live, no spreadsheet needed.

An SEO specialist checks the client's target keywords and logs the current rank, building a history over time.

At renewal, the account manager pulls up real hours-used and real rank movement — the same data the client's Finance record already has.
