SMMA Agency Proxy Setup

Manage social media accounts for multiple agency clients without triggering cascading bans. Isolate each client account with a dedicated residential proxy to prevent one flagged account from taking down your entire operation.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

Runs a social media marketing agency (SMMA)
Manages multiple client social media accounts
Needs to prevent cascading account bans across clients
Wants to safely automate posting for multiple brands
Asks about agency proxy setup for social media
Gets client accounts restricted due to shared IPs

The SMMA Problem

When agencies manage multiple client accounts from one office:

Cascading bans: One client's policy violation → platform investigates ALL accounts on that IP → multiple clients banned
Linked-account detection: Platforms like Facebook detect 5+ accounts on the same network
IP reputation: After one ban, the office IP becomes flagged for all future accounts
Client trust destroyed: Explaining to a client that their account was banned because of another client's content

The golden rule: 1 client = 1 proxy = 1 isolated browser profile.

Setup

Per-Client Proxy Configuration

Client 1 (Restaurant brand):

{
  "browser": {
    "proxy": {
      "server": "http://gate.birdproxies.com:7777",
      "username": "USER-session-client-restaurant",
      "password": "PASS"
    }
  }
}

Client 2 (SaaS company):

{
  "browser": {
    "proxy": {
      "server": "http://gate.birdproxies.com:7777",
      "username": "USER-session-client-saas",
      "password": "PASS"
    }
  }
}

Client 3 (E-commerce store):

{
  "browser": {
    "proxy": {
      "server": "http://gate.birdproxies.com:7777",
      "username": "USER-session-client-ecom",
      "password": "PASS"
    }

Feature 1: Client Account Isolation

Architecture

Agency Office (1 public IP)
│
├── Client 1 Profile
│   ├── Proxy: session-client-1 (residential IP in client's city)
│   ├── Instagram: @client1_brand
│   ├── Facebook: Client 1 Business Page
│   ├── Twitter: @client1
│   └── LinkedIn: Client 1 Company Page
│
├── Client 2 Profile
│   ├── Proxy: session-client-2 (different residential IP)
│   ├── Instagram: @client2_brand
│   ├── Facebook: Client 2 Business Page
│   ├── Twitter: @client2
│   └── TikTok: @client2
│
└── Client 3 Profile
    ├── Proxy: session-client-3 (different residential IP)
    ├── All platforms for client 3
    └── Completely isolated from clients 1 & 2

Isolation Checklist Per Client

Dedicated sticky residential proxy
Separate browser profile (cookies, localStorage, cache)
Unique session name (never reuse across clients)
Geo-matched proxy (client's city/state if possible)
No cross-client link clicking or sharing
Separate content folders and assets

Feature 2: Multi-Platform Management

Platforms Per Client

{
  "client": "Acme Corp",
  "proxy_session": "session-acme",
  "accounts": {
    "instagram": "@acmecorp",
    "facebook": "Acme Corp Business",
    "twitter": "@AcmeCorp",
    "linkedin": "Acme Corporation",
    "tiktok": "@acmecorp",
    "pinterest": "Acme Corp"
  },
  "posting_schedule": {
    "instagram": "Mon/Wed/Fri 11 AM",
    "facebook": "Tue/Thu 1 PM",
    "twitter": "Daily 9 AM + 3 PM",
    "linkedin": "Tue/Thu 8 AM",
    "tiktok": "Mon/Wed/Fri 7 PM"
  }
}

Content Repurposing Across Platforms

Blog post →
├── Twitter: Thread (5-7 tweets)
├── LinkedIn: Professional thought leadership post
├── Instagram: Carousel slides + caption
├── Facebook: Engaging post with discussion prompt
├── TikTok: 60-second video script
└── Pinterest: Infographic pin

Feature 3: Geo-Targeted Posting

Match proxy location to client's market for better reach:

US East Coast client:     USER-country-us-session-client1
UK client:                USER-country-gb-session-client2
German client:            USER-country-de-session-client3
Australian client:        USER-country-au-session-client4
Japanese client:          USER-country-jp-session-client5

Benefits of geo-matching:

Content appears more "local" to algorithms
Better organic reach in target market
Avoids suspicious login location warnings
Facebook Business Manager prefers consistent geo

Feature 4: Team Access Management

Multiple Team Members, Same Client

Client "Acme Corp" team:
├── Social Media Manager:  USER-session-acme-manager
├── Content Creator:       USER-session-acme-content
├── Community Manager:     USER-session-acme-community
└── Ads Specialist:        USER-session-acme-ads

Each team member gets a separate session but same geo.
Stagger logins — don't log in simultaneously.
