What is an agency on Fiverr?

What are the benefits of being an agency?
Here are some key advantages of becoming an agency:
- You’ll get to display yourself to clients as an agency. This will make it easier for relevant clients to find your listing and get valuable information about your agency.
- In search results, agencies will be eligible to be displayed in dedicated areas where we’ll suggest that clients order from agencies. Agencies will be highlighted emphasizing their added value. Clients can also use the filters to find “agencies” easily.
- Some benefits include faster Customer support response times and access to future benefits to be implemented in later phases.
- Book a meeting - Agencies tend to work on big projects which often require a video meeting to align on the project. This meeting is free and will not work like the paid consultation feature. If you have the paid consultation feature activated, it will automatically revert to a free meeting.

FAQs
-
Can I switch back and forth between my regular freelancer account?
If you’re interested in returning to being a freelancer and no longer being an agency, you can switch back from your “manage agency” area in the profile self view page.
All of your information will be saved and you’ll go back to being displayed as a freelancer and lose any benefits you accumulated as an agency. Take into account that you may want to update some of your information to display yourself as a freelancer and not as an agency. If you decide that you want to go back to being an agency in the future, you may be required to go through the onboarding process all over again.

How will clients find me?
In search results, the agency will be displayed differently from individual users:
- You’ll be marked as an agency
When clients filter “agencies”, they will be able to find you. Your new agency card will be shown instead of the regular Gig cards. - Your appearance in search results will highlight info about your agency making you stand out and emphasizing your added value as an agency.
- You’ll be eligible to be displayed in dedicated areas where we suggest clients order from agencies.
- The agency cards are double the size of a Gig card, which can potentially get more attention from clients when browsing a listing.
- The new agency cards will lead clients to your new agency page, with all of the information you’ve provided about your agency. For example, team member information, and the services you provide.
- Your Gigs will appear across Fiverr, in the listings in Pro, different carousels of Gigs, and on a clients’ home page, and will remain the same (with a slight change in the design)
-
What happens to my account's settings and history when becoming an agency?
Your freelancer page will become an agency page and you will continue to have only one profile page. This page will display information provided as part of the agency creation as well as your current freelancer profile information. Your orders, Gigs, chats, and reviews will remain the same when you switch from your freelancer and agency accounts. The only thing that will change is your profile page and your appearance in search results.
-
Can team members also have their own Fiverr accounts?
Yes, but it is not recommended. With upcoming phases of the product, having a separate account will affect the agencies' ability to manage their roles and permission. Each email can only be connected to one Fiverr account.
-
Will my revenue be split so I can track what my agency has brought in vs. my regular freelancer account?
No, all of the information will be reflected on your financial page.
