Managed service
An arrangement in which a provider's staff operate something for you, as opposed to software you operate yourself.

What “Managed service” means
A managed service means people at the provider do the work and are answerable for it. A marketing agency is a managed service. The alternative is software: the provider hands you a product and someone in your business operates it. The distinction matters when comparing quotes, because a managed service includes labor and software alone does not.
Link AI by Linkme is not a managed service. Linkme describes software with a chat interface, in which the agent drafts and a person in your business approves. Its product page mentions no account managers, no strategy calls and no dedicated team. If you need those, look for an agency. See agency versus agent for the trade-offs.
