Client onboarding

Turn a signed client into a ready delivery workspace

Client onboarding breaks down when information is collected in one place and delivery starts somewhere else. MarketingLokam connects service selection, readiness questions, files, access requests, blockers, and handoff tasks in one workflow built for agencies.

Where fragmented delivery breaks

The missing context creates more work than the missing feature

Agencies lose the thread when client messages, task status, service scope, and delivery decisions sit in different systems. MarketingLokam keeps this work connected to the client record and the workflow it affects.

A consistent first experience

Give each new client a clear sequence for sharing the information your service needs.

Readiness is visible

See completed inputs, unresolved blockers, and who needs to act before work starts.

No handoff rewrite

Use collected onboarding data as operational context for the projects and tasks that follow.

The MarketingLokam workflow

A visible path with an owner at every handoff

  1. 01

    Choose the service

    Start with the work the client bought so onboarding questions match delivery needs.

  2. 02

    Request required inputs

    Collect business context, files, access, contacts, and service-specific answers.

  3. 03

    Resolve blockers

    Make missing information and dependencies visible to both the client and the agency team.

  4. 04

    Hand off to delivery

    Create the next work with the collected context already connected to the client record.

Capabilities and boundaries

Built for the operating job, with the surrounding context intact

Service-based questions

Adapt requests to an SEO, paid media, creative, social, or web-design service.

Client-facing requests

Make it clear what the client needs to provide and why it matters.

Operational readiness

Treat onboarding as a delivery prerequisite, not a one-time welcome checklist.

How the workflow changes by service

The same capability solves a different delivery moment for each agency

Questions about client onboarding

What teams need to know before changing the workflow

Can each service have different onboarding requirements?

Yes. Service-based onboarding can request the inputs and access relevant to the work being delivered.

What happens when a client has not supplied an item?

The missing item can remain visible as a blocker so the team knows why dependent work is waiting.

Can onboarding lead into a project automatically?

The workflow is designed to hand collected context into the agency's delivery work instead of isolating it.

Put client onboarding into the delivery system

Give the next client workflow a clear path from readiness to review.
