What's Included
How We Work
Our Process
Discover
We conduct a social media audit covering your current presence, audience demographics, top-performing content, and competitor activity. We define your social strategy — platforms, content pillars, posting frequency, and primary KPIs — before creating a single piece of content.
Design
We build your monthly content calendar and design the first batch of graphics — your bespoke templates are produced in this phase if you don't already have them. We present the first month's content for approval before scheduling anything.
Develop
We publish and manage your content across all platforms, respond to community interactions, and monitor performance in real time. We adjust content and timing based on what the data shows is working.
Launch
Each month closes with a performance report and strategy review call — covering reach, engagement, follower growth, and content performance. We use these insights to continuously improve the next month's strategy.

FAQs
Common Questions
What does social media management for small business include?
Our social media management service for small businesses is a complete, done-for-you solution covering: a monthly content calendar planned 2 weeks in advance for your approval; branded graphic design for every post type — announcements, promotions, quotes, events, and evergreen content; caption writing with platform-appropriate tone, calls to action, and hashtag research; post scheduling and publishing at optimal times for your audience; community management including responding to comments and direct messages within business hours; and a monthly performance analytics report covering reach, engagement rate, follower growth, and top-performing content by format. Strategy review calls are included monthly to align the content plan with your business priorities and adapt based on performance data.
Which social media platforms do you manage?
We manage all major social media platforms for small businesses: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter/X, Pinterest, and Google Business Profile (for local businesses). Most small business retainers focus on 2–3 platforms that are most relevant to their audience and business model — spreading across too many platforms with insufficient volume is a common mistake. During the discovery audit, we identify which platforms your target customers are most active on and recommend a platform priority strategy based on your business type, content capacity, and goals. You don't need to be everywhere — you need to be excellent somewhere.
How long does it take to see results from social media management?
Realistic expectations are important. Organic social media is a compound discipline — results build over months, not weeks. In the first month, you'll see improved consistency and content quality. In months 2–3, engagement metrics typically begin to improve as the algorithm rewards consistent posting and your audience grows accustomed to regular content. Measurable follower growth and engagement lift are typically visible at the 3–6 month mark for most small business accounts. Paid social advertising — available as a retainer add-on — can accelerate reach and follower growth significantly when layered on top of the organic strategy. We report on progress monthly with full transparency on what's working, what isn't, and what we're adapting.
