Services & Packages
I understand that your business is like no other and that you need a social media solution that is tailor-made to your exact requirements. In addition to a selection of popular social media management packages, I also offer a la carte and bespoke solutions so that you can choose just the services you need.
All services are offered subject to your acceptance of our terms of business.
Social Media Audit – £125 (€155/$195) or free
A comprehensive social media audit will assess your current online presence (your website, blog and traffic solutions), a SEO competitive analysis for your website, evaluate your existing use of social media, and lead generation strategies. You’ll receive the audit results with recommendations designed to leverage your efforts and improve your results, and we’ll have a one-to-one call to discuss the way forward. If you decide to purchase a monthly service contract, your audit fee will be refunded when you pay your first maintenance fee.

Social Media SetUp – £650 (€810/$1000)
When you decide to purchase a maintenance package, this one-time fee covers the following setup processes.
- 1 hour strategy meeting
- Market research to discover where your target market are currently participating in social media
- Keyword research
- Identification of optimal social media channels
- Creation and customisation of up to 3 social network profiles (eg Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn)
- Creation of standard Facebook Fan Page (where Facebook is a chosen network)
- Creation of customised company blog (WordPress)
- Search engine optimisation of your blog and social media profiles
- Setup of your site on Google Places (for first page results listing in most cases)
- Installation of plugins, Google Analystics, stats tracking on blog
- Creation of SEO blog framework, categories and key pages
- URL registration and blog hosting if required
Note, if you already have a company blog and/or social media profiles, the setup covers cleaning, customising and optimising these for a fresh start. If you already have a self-hosted company WordPress blog which requires no customisation, plugin installation, or software updating, £200 (€250/$310) will be refunded on receipt of your first month’s maintenance fee.
The strategy meeting is vitally important. I will collect information about your business, products, target market and current customer profile, and we will agree the goals and parameters of your social media campaign, so that everything is clear from day one.
The non-refundable fee is automatically charged when you order your maintenance package.
Maintenance Packages
I have grouped the most popular service level options into affordable monthly packages. The minimum engagement for any package is 6 months. Your first month’s maintenance fee is billed one week after you pay for your setup (to allow the process to be completed before you begin paying for maintenance), and thereafter monthly in advance.
