The honest answer to “how much does it cost” is “it depends what you are buying”. Two quotes for “social media management” can describe completely different work. This page helps you compare them.
What to ask every provider
- How many posts, on which platforms? Instagram only or LinkedIn as well? Feed posts only or Reels and Stories too?
- Who writes and who designs? Is it written in your studio’s voice or from a template?
- Whose photos? Do they work from your project photography or use stock? Stock rooms on a design studio’s feed do harm.
- How does approval work? Will you see each post before it goes out? What happens if you are on site all week?
- What is reported? Followers only or the things that matter: what went out, what people saved and shared, whether clients mention the feed?
- Term and setup fee. Many agencies ask for a minimum of several months plus an onboarding fee.
- What is extra? Paid ads, replying to comments and photo shoots are usually priced separately.
What we charge and what is in it
AED 2,899 a month with no setup fee and no minimum term. For that a studio gets a post every weekday on its own Instagram and LinkedIn, each with a Reel, written and designed in its look from its own photos. Every post reaches you by email before it goes out. Change it or stop it. If you do nothing it goes out. Each month we put your buyers’ questions to ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude and show you the dated answers. We write posts for the questions where you were not named. On the 1st you get a report. Extras such as paid ads or a shoot day are on our add-ons page.
How to weigh it
Compare the monthly cost with what one project is worth to you and with the alternative. A part time hire needs a salary and your time to train them. Doing it yourself costs evenings and usually stops in the first busy month. The cheapest option is the one that keeps posting for a year.
What a fair trial looks like
Ask to see your first posts before you pay a full month. With us the monthly plan starts with five days free: you see your look and your first posts in your dashboard, nothing is published and nothing is charged until the five days are over.
