Social & Content · per month (retainer)
Social Media Management
Social media management is priced as a monthly retainer that scales with platform count, content volume, and how senior the strategy is. Small businesses on one or two platforms sit at the low end; strategy-led, multi-platform programs with original creative land in the middle; enterprise coverage runs well into five figures a month.
Low end
$500 – $2,000
Typical
$2,000 – $7,500
High end
$7,500 – $25,000+
What to avoid
- Per-post pricing with no strategy attached — you pay for volume and get no plan.
- Retainers that quietly add 20–40% in setup fees, tool subscriptions, and ad-spend management percentages.
- Offshore content mills that post on schedule but never learn your brand voice or your buyer.
