How Much Does Social Media Management Cost in the UK?

By Concept Wize UK 24 October 2026 All articles →

Social media management has no single UK price because the work behind a plan varies. A fair comparison starts with unique content, platform coverage, video production, approvals and community support. At Concept Wize UK, the published monthly plans are £295, £495 and £795. These are our prices, not a UK market average.

For a small business, the useful question is: what will this budget allow us to deliver consistently, and what must our own team supply? A low monthly fee can still be unsuitable if it excludes the work you need most.

What do our monthly plans include?

PlanMonthly priceUnique contentAgreed platforms
Starter£29510 static posts + 2 edited reelsUp to 2
Growth£49516 static posts + 4 edited reelsUp to 3
Pro£79522 static posts + 8 edited reelsUp to 4

All three include a calendar, captions, relevant hashtags, scheduling and a monthly report and review call. Additional repurposed story frames are 4, 8 and 12 respectively. See the full social media plan comparison for revision rounds, review-call lengths and the complete conditions. Your proposal confirms the total price and any applicable VAT.

Six questions that make quotes comparable

  1. What counts as a post? One piece published on two platforms is not automatically two unique ideas. Our reels count within the unique-post total; a carousel of up to five slides uses two static-post slots.
  2. Who supplies the footage? Our included reels use selected footage supplied by you, up to five minutes of source footage per finished short and up to 60 seconds finished length. Filming is separate.
  3. Is the content adapted? Ask whether captions, dimensions and calls to action suit each agreed channel.
  4. Who handles replies? Starter excludes routine replies. Growth allows up to two hours per month and Pro up to four, using weekday checks within the cap. Neither is live chat or out-of-hours cover.
  5. How do approvals work? Agree one decision-maker, a feedback deadline and what a revision round covers.
  6. Are advertising costs separate? Paid campaigns and media spend are separate from these organic-content plans.

Choose around your capacity, not just the post count

A business with two suitable channels, a clear offer and a reliable stream of customer questions may benefit more from a focused plan than a wider package it cannot approve. Conversely, a team launching several services may need extra creative capacity and a coordinated calendar.

Before enquiring, collect your main offer, audience, account links, usable photographs and common questions. Our 30-day content-planning framework helps turn those inputs into a realistic schedule. If choosing channels is the main problem, start with our guide to social media platforms for small businesses.

How should you judge value?

Agree a business action to track: qualified enquiries, consultation requests, product-page visits or useful conversations. Review those alongside content consistency and audience response. Follower growth alone does not tell you whether the right people are taking the next step. Use a tagged website link and a simple enquiry log to connect activity to outcomes where possible.

For a professional audience, LinkedIn’s small-business Pages guidance is a useful starting point for page setup and content planning. Build your website answers around real customer needs using Google’s people-first content guidance, rather than repeating keywords in every caption.

Common buying questions

Can I buy a one-off service instead?

Yes. Concept Wize UK also lists Social Launch Pack at £249, Social Content Batch at £395 and Social Strategy Session at £295 one-off. Check the service page for the different deliverables; a one-off project does not replace ongoing monthly publishing.

Will a plan guarantee enquiries?

No. Results depend on your offer, audience, market, content inputs and follow-up as well as delivery. Choose a defined scope and review meaningful signals before increasing spend.
