When should clients receive the onboarding form?

Immediately after contract signature, ideally with your welcome email. Early responses mean real work can begin at kickoff instead of after it.

What brand assets should we request?

Logos in vector formats if available, brand guidelines, fonts, photography, and past campaign examples. The file field accepts multiple uploads so everything arrives together.

Can the form adapt to different service types?

Yes. Use conditional logic to show SEO-specific questions for search clients or platform questions for social clients, keeping every form relevant to the engagement.
