Ongoing, outsourced management of a specific function or service on behalf of clients.
Managed services are ongoing outsourced responsibilities where an agency handles specific functions for clients on a continuous basis. Unlike project work with defined endpoints, managed services are open-ended relationships with recurring deliverables. Common examples include managed SEO, managed PPC, or managed social media.
Managed services are the foundation of recurring revenue for agencies. They create predictable income and deeper client relationships than project work. The challenge is demonstrating ongoing value—clients need to see what they're getting for their monthly investment.
