How much does social media management cost in South Africa?

Published 2026 rates run from about R2,500 a month for a freelancer to R30,000 and more for a full-service agency, with most capable work between R5,000 and R15,000. Ours start at R9,500 a month for two platforms.

Which social media platforms should my business be on?

The ones your customers already use to make decisions, which is usually two. The testing tells us which two.

Do you create the content, or do we?

We do, from strategy to finished posts. If you have photos or footage we use them. If you want film, that is Albie.

How do you measure social media success?

By whether the right people enquire and whether customers repeat what you say. Likes and reach are reported, but they are not the measure.

Why test before posting?

Because more posts of an unclear message make a bigger blur, faster. The testing reads your last ninety days as a stranger would and checks there is one sentence to post about.

Social media that says one thing, every week.

The stranger test.

Paste your last few posts, with a blank line between each. This counts the words they share. It does not read meaning, it is crude on purpose, and nothing leaves your browser.

Your last posts

What we make.

01One sentence, first. Every post points at the same sentence about what the business is. If there is not one yet, we say so before we post anything.
02Posts written and designed. For the platforms your customers use to make decisions, usually two.
03Replies on weekdays. Comments and messages answered in your voice, with anything that is a lead passed to you the same day.
04A monthly read. Which posts brought enquiries, which customers repeated what you said, and what we change next month. Likes are reported, but they are not the measure.

We test first. Every time.

More posts of an unclear message make a bigger blur, faster. So before we post anything, we find out what your posts have been saying, and whether there is one thing worth saying every week. The testing is inside the price. If it shows the real problem is underneath, we will tell you in writing, and you can still go ahead. We will just be stubborn about it.

01Your last ninety days of posts, read as a stranger would read them.
02Which platforms your customers actually use to decide.
03Whether there is one sentence to post about, and whether your team says it the same way.
04What competitors are saying, so you do not say the same thing.
