Agency vs Manager vs VA — FAQ

A virtual assistant handles administrative tasks you direct (scheduling posts, basic replies) but doesn't drive strategy. A manager is usually one dedicated person overseeing your account with more strategic input. An agency is a full team — chatters, marketers, strategists — working together under one system, typically for a commission rather than a flat fee.
