The money for ads comes on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people tell us &#8220;I want someone to post for me&#8221;. After five minutes of talking we realise they want something else: messages coming in, the phone ringing, people walking into the shop. That&#8217;s what the price depends on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does social media management cost per month?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market prices look roughly like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Package<\/th><th>Price per month<\/th><th>What it usually includes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Basic<\/td><td>\u20ac300\u2013700<\/td><td>1\u20132 networks, a few posts a week, basic graphics<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mid-range<\/td><td>\u20ac700\u20131,500<\/td><td>2\u20133 networks, Reels and stories, replies to messages, monthly report<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Premium<\/td><td>\u20ac1,500\u20133,000+<\/td><td>All networks, regular video production, campaigns, influencer collaborations<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also one-off services: an audit of your accounts costs about \u20ac200\u2013500 and a full strategy \u20ac500\u20131,500. Freelancers usually charge less than an agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What pushes the price up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How many networks.<\/strong> Facebook and Instagram together are one job. TikTok or LinkedIn need their own content.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>How often.<\/strong> Three posts a week is very different from daily stories.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Video and Reels.<\/strong> They get the most reach today, but they need filming, editing and ideas.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Photography.<\/strong> If we come to your place to shoot, it costs more than using material you send us.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Replying to messages and comments.<\/strong> Community management means someone is there every day.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advertising is a separate budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Management is the work: ideas, copy, graphics, video. The money you pay Meta so people see your posts is a separate budget. In a small town we consider \u20ac700 a month in ad spend the minimum if you want real results. See <a href=\"https:\/\/web-mate.gr\/en\/facebook-instagram-advertising-cost\/\">how much Facebook and Instagram ads cost<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organic management and ads work best together. That&#8217;s why we also handle <a href=\"https:\/\/web-mate.gr\/en\/yphresies\/ads-facebook-instagram-meta\/\">Facebook and Instagram advertising<\/a> if you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freelancer or agency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good freelancer can deliver great work for less money, especially if you only need posts. The risk is that everything depends on one person: if they get sick or take another job, you&#8217;re left uncovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An agency has a team: someone for copy, someone for graphics and video, someone for ads. It costs more, but you get continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we price it at WebMate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#8217;t have a fixed price list, because a caf\u00e9 in Kavala and an e-shop selling all over Greece need different things. First we talk about your goals, look at your accounts and then give you a package with a fixed monthly price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every month you get a report with the numbers that matter to your business: messages, calls, website visits and sales.

Ask yourself after three months: are more messages coming in? Are people calling who found me on Instagram? Am I selling more? If the answer is yes, the money is well spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ about social media management costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does social media management cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually between \u20ac300 and \u20ac1,500 a month, depending on networks, frequency and video. Large packages with a lot of production go beyond \u20ac1,500\u20133,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the price include advertising?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The money you pay Meta for ads is separate from the management fee. In a small town we consider \u20ac700 a month in ad spend the minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the cost of a social media package depend on?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On how many networks we manage, how often we post, whether there are videos and Reels, whether photography is needed and whether we reply to messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to commit for many months?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Results need at least three months of steady work, because that&#8217;s how long the algorithm and your audience take to get to know you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How much does social media management cost?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Usually between \u20ac300 and \u20ac1,500 a month, depending on networks, frequency and video.
