10 reasons these social media marketing agencies choose HeyOrca as their social media scheduling tool

If you’re looking for a social media scheduler for your marketing agency, you’ve probably considered HeyOrca. And if you haven’t? Whale, hello there! We’re HeyOrca: the social media scheduler for teams and agencies. 

Why do social media agencies love us so much?

We’re powerful for marketers. And simple for clients. Oh, and we come with unlimited users (on every single plan!). 

But those aren’t the only reasons marketing agencies choose HeyOrca as their go-to social media management tool. Here are 10 reasons agencies pick HeyOrca.

1. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for the community

We’re not just a social media management tool. We’re a community, too! Social media managers worldwide turn to our Facebook Group, daily newsletter, and weekly webinars for social news, free resources, and industry insights (like our guide to pricing your social media services!). 

Psst! You don’t have to be a HeyOrca customer to join the community.

“Deciding to trust HeyOrca with our client's social media schedule was one of the best decisions we've made for our agency. It's rare to come into any issues, and if you do, their support goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. Their webinars are top-tier, and their Facebook page is a must-follow. We especially loved that they involved their users in their growth strategy for the new year. They make it feel like we haven't just bought another software tool but joined a community. Could not recommend more.” – Christine G. 

2. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca to save time (and money!)

HeyOrca helps you manage all of your to-dos – content collaboration, scheduling and approvals, reporting, and community-building – all in one place. So you can work more efficiently. And focus more of your time on strategy and creativity.

As an added bonus, HeyOrca helps you do all that at a more cost-effective rate than many other social media schedulers. (HeyOrca’s starting monthly rates are 68% lower than Hootsuite's.)

So how much time and money do agencies save by switching to HeyOrca? Here's what Lisa B. calculated: 

“In the first month, HeyOrca saved my team approximately 60 hours and more than $4,000. In addition, we surveyed our clients 30 days after implementing HeyOrca and they all raved about the user experience. We love the scheduling aspect, how simple it is to use, the fact that we don't have to worry about the number of users, the client approval process, and the fact that their product team is clearly on top of making updates as social media evolves.” – Lisa B.

“HeyOrca has the best customer service of any company that our agency deals with. Hands down. Their response time is incredibly fast and everyone on their team is knowledgeable and helpful. Plus, they hold free weekly workshops and provide great free resources to their customers.” – Pamalyn B. 

4. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for easy content approvals

HeyOrca's built-in approval workflow makes it easy to get your client's approval. No more spreadsheets or endless back-and-forth over email. Just send your client a link to your scheduled posts. Your client will be able to mark posts as "approved" or "rejected" and leave comments with feedback – without logging in! 

‍

“HeyOrca has an excellent approval flow in place, allowing for both internal and external approval of all social media posts. As an agency, we're able to review our content and make edits internally, and then send them to our clients for their approval as well. In addition, the customer service is AMAZING.” – Kayla B. 

5. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for the intuitive user experience

​​”The HeyOrca content planning/scheduling, internal collaboration, and client approval workflows and interfaces are far and away the most functional, efficient, and intuitive of any platform I've seen. It was palpably made by people who KNOW what agencies need – every button, every feature, is right where you want it to be, right when you need it. All its peers, on the other hand, feel like they were made by business bros – they promise the moon, but nothing works the way you would actually want it to.” – Robert G.

How do we know what social media managers and agencies need? We've lived the social media agency life! Our Chief Executive Orca, Joe, started HeyOrca when his small social media agency was drowning in spreadsheets and juggling tools meant for big corporations. HeyOrca helps social media teams of all sizes build communities – efficiently and effectively. 

6. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for client-specific content calendars

HeyOrca makes it easy to keep your clients separate and your workflow efficient. When you use HeyOrca to manage multiple clients, every one of your clients will get their own dedicated space. Each client will get their own content calendar, media library, notes section, time zone settings, and more. So you won't have to worry about clients seeing content that’s not meant for them. Or worse: accidentally posting to the wrong account. 

‍

“HeyOrca plans charge based on 'calendars' instead of users, so I like the ability for us to scale our team as needed, and push the costs of additional calendars onto our clients. It's clear to the clients and gives our team more flexibility.” – Elise S. 

7. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca to delight clients (and sign new ones!)

A good social media scheduler will help you build client trust and confidence. Even better? A social media scheduler that helps you expand your client roster. 

We created HeyOrca with agencies – and their clients – in mind. So you can be sure your clients' experience is easy and intuitive. Agency owner Brandon F. says it best: 

“A must for any SMM agency. I love how the team can seamlessly interact and customize our clients’ content in one central place. We can take what we have created and present it to clients for them to then review and give their mark of approval. We have used our HeyOrca portal to sell clients on how much control they will still have over the content that is pushed out. Showing a client how easy it is to use has helped us close at least 3 new clients.” – Brandon F.

8. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for in-depth reports and analytics

One of the toughest parts of #AgencyLife is proving your impact. That's where HeyOrca Reports comes in. Our in-depth reports make it easy to measure your performance on social media and share your successes with your clients! Use HeyOrca to conduct competitor analyses, compare your results across channels, automatically send visual reports to stakeholders, and more. 

‍

“HeyOrca takes hours away from my workday, helps schedule all kinds of social media, and report on our analytics.” – Sofia B. 

9. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for scalable pricing and plans

Your agency is constantly changing. So your social media scheduling tool should be just as adaptable! With HeyOrca, you can add or remove calendars or scale your pricing plan as needed.

“Our team used to utilize a different system but we kept trying to plug holes in features that we needed in order to collaborate within our 12-member team and our clients. Now we don't! We love all the features HeyOrca provides, and their support team has been tremendous about incorporating suggestions and improvements our team has provided. We're able to grow and scale our subscription as our agency grows, and we're looking forward to being part of the ‘Pod’ for quite a while!” – Melissa W. 

10. Social media agencies choose HeyOrca for unlimited users on every plan

We said it earlier, but it’s worth repeating: when you choose HeyOrca, you can add your entire team to your account without getting charged extra. In addition to unlimited users, you’ll also enjoy unlimited posts, unlimited media storage, and unlimited approvals.  

“Previously we were using Hootsuite and were limited on how many users could gain access without spending a lot more money. Now, with HeyOrca, the whole team has access with so many more features.” – Jonathan C.
