Most small business social accounts follow the same arc: a burst of posts at launch, then months of silence, then an apology post. Consistency beats brilliance on social media, and consistency is a scheduling and workload problem rather than a creative one. We take it over so your channels stay alive whether or not you had a quiet week.
Businesses whose customers check social before deciding — restaurants, salons, retailers, gyms, venues, trades doing visible work worth photographing. It suits an owner who knows the account matters, has tried to keep it going personally, and has run out of hours to do it.
A live feed reassures a prospective customer that you are trading. A dormant one raises a question you never get the chance to answer.
Social is genuinely time-consuming and it competes with running the business. This buys the hours back and keeps the output consistent.
Social and your site work together, feeding traffic to a page built to convert rather than dead-ending in a profile.
R1,800 is where packages start, and the scope is built with you rather than fixed in advance, because a single-location salon and a four-branch retailer need very different amounts of work. The variables are how many platforms, how often you post, how much of the content we create from scratch, and whether we handle messages. We will quote a specific written scope before you commit, and it will say exactly how many posts and which platforms.
Most commonly Facebook and Instagram, which is where most South African local business audiences are. TikTok, LinkedIn and Google Posts can be added where they suit your market. We will tell you honestly if a platform is not worth paying for in your industry.
Management and advertising budget are quoted and billed as separate lines, so you can always see what you are paying for the work and what is going to the platform. If you want to put budget behind posts we will set the numbers out in writing before anything is spent, and campaign management is quoted on its own rather than folded into the monthly fee.
It helps enormously and we will ask for them, because real photographs of your own work outperform everything else. Where you cannot supply them we design graphics and use licensed imagery instead.
No. Social media management runs month to month on 7 days’ written notice, the same as our care plans. Results build over months rather than weeks, so we would encourage you to give it a fair run, but you are never locked in.
Posting consistently is a lot easier when the words about your business are already sorted. See Professional Copywriting →
Every add-on can be taken on its own or alongside a monthly care plan. All prices in South African Rand.
Tell us about your business and we will confirm whether this add-on is the right spend, or point you at something that would do more.
