What does a social media agency do?
A social media agency runs a brand's communication on social media: it sets the channel strategy, creates and publishes content, replies to the audience and reports the effect. The scope varies, from publishing ready-made materials to full production with photos and video. At JustIdea it covers strategy, content, publishing, moderation and measuring traffic from profiles to your site.
How much does social media management cost for a business?
We give the price for profile management and graphic creative for your scope, because it grows with every channel and every weekly post. Two things stay outside it: photos, videos and reels we make as part of video production, and the budget for boosting posts you pay directly to the platform.
Which social media channels should a business choose?
Not all of them, and that is the most important part of the answer. Two channels run properly beat four run in bursts. The choice comes from where your target audience really is and what material you can supply. A visual product holds its own on Instagram and TikTok, B2B sales more often on LinkedIn, and a local service is sometimes stronger in a Google business profile than on any social profile.
Can we start with one channel?
Yes, and that is how we most often start. One channel run properly gives more than three run in bursts, and after a quarter the report shows whether another is worth adding. Usually Instagram or Facebook comes first, because that is where you already have an audience. We add LinkedIn for B2B sales, and TikTok for a product that can be shown in motion.
How is a social media agency different from a freelancer?
A freelancer is one person: cheaper and quicker to decide, but a holiday or illness stops publishing. A social media agency gives you a team in which strategy, content, graphics, video and moderation have different people, and cover is built into the process. A third way is your own social media manager backed by our audit and strategy, and with one channel it is sometimes the cheapest.
Do you also run paid campaigns on Facebook and Instagram?
Yes, but that is a separate service billed separately. Running Facebook and Instagram on the content side has a different work rhythm and a different way of measuring the effect than paid delivery, so mixing them in one package ends with nobody knowing what worked. The media budget we describe on separate pages: TikTok Ads, Facebook and Instagram ads, and LinkedIn Ads.
Who creates the content, us or you?
Both are possible, and we agree it before the start. We can take over content creation together with photo and video production, or work with your materials, adding the plan, editing and publishing. Whichever you choose, there is one place where you approve content before it goes out, and one agreed time for those approvals.
How soon will we see results?
The first changes in audience reactions usually show after four to eight weeks of regular publishing. Traffic from social media to your site grows more slowly, over a quarter, because it depends on how much content has had time to appear. Social media is rarely the last-click channel, so we judge it by its share in all purchase paths, not by directly attributed sales alone.
