How the agency margin math works

Agency review-management margin is simple: monthly revenue minus platform cost. If you manage 10 client locations and charge $149/mo each, revenue is $1,490/mo. ReputeMap Growth covers up to 15 locations for $39/mo, leaving $1,451/mo in software gross margin before labor, taxes, and payment fees.

That is why predictable location-based pricing matters. A tool priced per client, per seat, or by custom quote can make a small-agency retainer hard to package. ReputeMap is designed for the focused service: monitor Google reviews, draft replies with AI, request reviews by email/QR, catch negative reviews fast, and send client reports.

Frequently asked questions

How should agencies price Google review management?

Many agencies package review management as a monthly retainer per client or location. The right price depends on service level, but this calculator uses the simple math: client fee times managed locations minus ReputeMap software cost.

Which ReputeMap plan should an agency use?

Use Starter for up to 5 locations, Growth for up to 15, and Pro for up to 30 locations plus white-label reporting. The calculator warns you if the selected plan does not cover the number of locations entered.

Does this include labor cost?

No. This calculator estimates software gross margin only. Agencies should subtract account-manager time, copywriting, reporting calls, taxes, and payment fees to get net profit.

Can I use this for white-label review management?

Yes. Use the Pro plan if your offer depends on white-label reports and client-facing delivery. The page is designed for agencies packaging Google review management under their own brand.
