For sites hosted outside of WordPress.com, a connection between the sites and your WordPress.com account allow them to be managed from the Automattic for Agencies Sites list.
To sign up as a new agency, visit agencies.automattic.com/signup and complete the initial registration form. Note: you will need to provide a URL for your agency site. We do not accept social media profile links in the URL field.
Please note that the first account used to register an agency will automatically be designated as the agency owner. If you wish to join an existing agency account already created by someone on your team, you can follow the steps here.

When signing up for Automattic for Agencies with an existing Pressable account, please ensure you use the same email address associated with your Pressable account. This email matching is important for connecting your accounts properly across both platforms.
Program features such as wholesale pricing, opportunities to earn via referrals, and site management tools are available upon sign up. Additional opportunities are unlocked through use of Automattic’s services.
In most cases, program access is immediate. However, we do implement additional review steps in certain cases. Those include, but are not limited to, registrations using free email addresses such as Gmail.com, Yahoo.com etc. rather than email at your agency site’s domain. During this verification process, it is not possible to make a purchase or add a payment method but it is possible to use our site management tools.
As part of the signup process, we also verify the URL provided for your own agency site. We do not accept social media profiles in place of an agency site URL.
If your application requires manual review, we aim to provide a response to you within 2 working days.
