Frequently asked, honestly answered
Is Scroll Ready an agency?
No. Scroll Ready is a managed software service — software that drafts and schedules everything, and a Scroll Ready specialist who runs your account inside it. That structure is why we can offer a flat price with no contracts.
Will I get a dedicated account manager?
You'll have a Scroll Ready specialist who knows your business and your voice. There's no account manager layer between you and the work — you message your specialist directly.
Are there long contracts?
No. Scroll Ready is month-to-month. Cancel any time from your account settings.
Do you do strategy decks like an agency would?
Strategy is built into the product — your content pillars, voice profile, posting cadence, and safety rules are all configured during onboarding. We send a short weekly report instead of a 40-page deck.
