Agency SOP checklist

This SOP turns creator promotion into a repeatable agency process. It is designed for teams that manage several creators and need the same minimum information, approvals and reporting steps every time a campaign is launched.

Stage 1: campaign request

Create a campaign record before any asset is sent to a traffic partner or publishing channel. Assign a campaign ID and responsible owner.

Required input	Why it matters
Creator + platform	Prevents destination and asset mismatches.
Profile URL	Defines the exact campaign destination.
Country + language	Guides targeting and copy.
Offer	Ensures the campaign promise matches the destination.
Objective	Determines the metrics used in the report.
Campaign window	Defines the measurement period.

Stage 2: destination readiness

Run a quick profile audit. Do not launch solely because an advertising slot is available. Confirm the page is active, the offer is understandable, the profile identity matches the campaign creative and the mobile landing experience works.

Stage 3: asset approval

Separate campaign-approved assets from private creator content. Record the exact image or video version, copy and CTA. If the campaign is SFW-only, make that requirement explicit in the asset status instead of relying on team memory.

Stage 4: tracking setup

Create or confirm campaign ID.
Record source/channel.
Test destination and redirects.
Record baseline destination metrics if available.
Define attribution window and timezone.
Document which metrics will come from the traffic source and which will come from the creator platform.

Stage 5: pre-launch QA

Use a two-person check for high-value campaigns where practical. One person prepares the campaign; another verifies destination, assets, dates, offer and tracking. This is a simple way to reduce avoidable operational errors across a larger roster.

Stage 6: launch monitoring

Confirm the campaign actually went live and that traffic reaches the intended destination. Early monitoring is for technical validation, not premature performance conclusions. Avoid changing creative after only a handful of impressions unless there is a clear error.

Stage 7: end-of-window data capture

Capture raw metrics before calculating derived metrics. Keep screenshots or exports when available, record the extraction date and note whether metrics are cumulative, unique or event-based.

Stage 8: analysis

Observed pattern	First diagnostic question
Low impressions	Was distribution sufficient and was the campaign active for the intended window?
High impressions, low clicks	Is creative, CTA or audience fit weak?
Clicks, fewer visitors	Are tracking definitions, redirects or load failures creating a gap?
Healthy visitors, weak conversion	Does the destination profile communicate the offer and expected value clearly?
Strong conversion, low volume	Is there a case for increasing qualified reach?

Stage 9: decision and next test

Every report should end with one operational decision. Examples: keep the current creative, test a new CTA, improve the profile before relaunch, extend the measurement window, add destination tracking or increase reach. Avoid vague conclusions such as “campaign went well” without a next action.
