Frequently asked questions
Agencies on Upwork are teams of professionals who work together to deliver services across a range of specialties, from design and development to marketing and data science. Agencies can take on larger or more complex projects, often bringing multiple skill sets together to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Agencies offer a team-based approach, which can be helpful for projects that require multiple skills, faster turnaround times, or ongoing support. While freelancers typically work independently, agencies can assign the right experts to different parts of your project and scale resources as your needs grow.
During the hiring process, agencies will typically review your project requirements, share relevant experience or past work, and may ask follow-up questions to better understand your goals. You can compare proposals, communicate directly with agencies, and choose the partner that best fits your needs.
You can work with agencies using fixed-price or hourly contracts, just like with freelancers. Payments are made through Upwork’s secure system, and you only release funds once agreed-upon milestones are completed or hours are logged and approved.
Providing a clear and detailed project brief—including your goals, scope, timeline, and budget—helps agencies understand your needs and submit more relevant proposals. Well-defined projects are more likely to attract experienced agencies with the right expertise.
