Frequently asked questions

Social Media Management FAQ

Straight answers about social media management in Pretoria. No jargon, no runaround.

What platforms do you manage?

We manage Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X (Twitter). We recommend the right platform mix for your specific audience and goals not every business needs to be on every platform. We’ll advise on where your effort is best spent during strategy onboarding.

How often will you post?

Post frequency depends on your package: Social Starter posts 3 times per week, Social Growth posts 5 times per week, Social Performance posts 7 times per week. Frequency is distributed across your active platforms based on what each algorithm rewards.

Do you create original content?

Yes all content is original and created specifically for your brand. Our in-house team handles copywriting, graphic design, and video editing. We never reskin templates across clients or recycle content from other brands.

What is community management and is it included?

Community management covers responding to comments, DMs, reviews, and brand mentions in your brand’s voice. It’s included in Social Growth and Social Performance packages. For Starter clients, it’s available as a R2,500/month add-on.

Do you manage paid social ads?

Yes. Paid social ads management is included in the Social Performance package, covering budget allocation, audience targeting, creative production, and ongoing campaign optimisation. Ad spend (paid directly to the platforms) is separate and budgeted by you.

What reports do you provide?

Monthly reports covering engagement rate, reach, impressions, follower growth, top-performing content, and platform breakdown. Growth package includes weekly performance check-ins. Performance package includes a monthly strategy review call with actionable recommendations.

How quickly will I see results?

Expect engagement improvements within 4-6 weeks of consistent, on-strategy content. Meaningful follower growth and social-attributed leads typically emerge at 2-3 months. Social media is a compounding channel the longer you invest, the stronger the returns.

How much does social media management cost in South Africa?

Social media management in South Africa runs from about R6,000 a month, priced by the number of platforms, content volume, and whether paid ads are included. Basic posting sits at the lower end; full management with strategy, content, community management, and campaigns costs more. We size the package to what you actually need.

Should I manage social media in-house or hire an agency?

In-house works if you have a dedicated, skilled person with time; sporadic posting by someone juggling other roles usually underperforms. An agency brings strategy, consistent content, and community management without the salary overhead. For most small and medium South African businesses, outsourcing delivers better results per rand.

Which social media platforms should my business be on?

Be where your customers are, not on every platform. In South Africa that usually means Facebook and WhatsApp for broad reach, Instagram for visual brands, TikTok for younger audiences and organic reach, and LinkedIn for B2B. Two or three done well beat five done thinly, and we pick them around your audience.

How often should my business post on social media?

Consistency matters more than volume: two to four quality posts a week, every week, beats a burst followed by silence. The right cadence depends on the platform and your capacity to sustain it. We plan a realistic content calendar you can actually keep to, then keep it filled.

How do you measure social media ROI?

We track the actions that lead to revenue, enquiries, WhatsApp and profile clicks, and sales, not just likes and followers. Reporting ties content to leads so you can see what the spend returns. Vanity metrics are noted but never the headline.

Organic vs paid social, which should my business focus on?

Organic builds brand and community over time but reach is limited; paid social buys targeted reach and leads quickly. The strongest approach uses both, organic to build trust and paid to scale what works. We usually grow organic while running paid campaigns against clear lead or sales goals.

Can you manage social media with content and photography included?

Yes. Our managed packages include content creation, and we can arrange professional photography and video shoots as part of the plan when your brand needs original visuals. We scope the content mix to your budget so the feed stays fresh without overspending.
