Expectations

Vendasta Services delivers managed work across listings, reputation, social, blogs, websites, and digital ads. This section explains what to expect after you order: confirmation and timelines, pre-launch and post-launch calls, project tracking in Business App, and where to find expectation brochures and fulfillment forms so you can prepare and share details with your team and clients.

What are service expectations?​

Service expectations are the timelines, steps, and deliverables you can expect once an order is placed. They include:

  • Order confirmation – Within 48 hours, contacts on the order form receive an email with an order reference and what’s needed for fulfillment. For services with a pre-launch call, that’s included too.
  • Pre-launch call – For most services (Reputation, Social, Blogs, Websites, Digital Ads), a call before launch to set expectations, complete connections and authorizations in Business App, and complete a content questionnaire.
  • Post-launch call – For MatchCraft Managed Ads only; after ads are ready to launch, a call to discuss performance, optimizations, and strategy.
  • Project tracking – All services show a tracker in Business App → Projects with tasks, expected completion dates, and notes.
  • Launch timelines – Business days to launch after assets are received vary by service (e.g. 1–2 for Reputation, 5 for Social/Blogs, 5–10 for Websites, 1–10 for Digital Ads). Listings may take longer for complex claims.

Requirements differ by product: some need Business App connections, external credentials, or Digital Agency access. The expectations by service table and definitions cover each one.
