Posting every day will not fill your calendar. Posting with a plan might. Here is what social media management cost should buy you each month, and what to ask before you pay.
Short version
A good plan has a set number of posts, real graphics, someone who answers comments, and a report. Ask for all four in writing before you pay.
What a social media plan should include
A clear number of posts
Eight, twelve or twenty a month, agreed up front. No surprises.
Content made for your business
Your offers, your customers, your city. Not a stock quote on a gradient.
Replies and community care
People comment and message. Someone has to answer, quickly and politely.
A monthly report
Reach is nice. Messages, calls and visits to your site are better.
Social media management cost by plan
Our plans run from $399 a month (8 posts, 4 stories and 2 reels) to $649 a month (20 posts, 12 stories and 6 reels, with community management). Growth sits in the middle at $499 for 12 posts, 8 stories and 4 reels. Every plan includes filming at your business, editing and posting. The right level depends on how often your customers need to see you.
Where social media marketing fits
Social builds trust, search brings people who are ready to buy. The two work best together. See our social media marketing in Los Angeles and the guide stop chasing likes. To see which platforms people actually use, check Pew Research’s social media fact sheet.
Quick answers
Do I need every platform?
No. Pick the two where your customers already spend time.
Can I approve posts first?
Yes. You see the calendar before anything goes live.
