How much does social media management cost in Newcastle under Lyme? (2026)
Social media management in Newcastle under Lyme ranges from £200/month "post 3 times a week" packages to £2,000/month full content production. Here's what each tier actually delivers.
The realistic monthly tiers
£200–£400/month: scheduling-only, you supply content. £500–£900/month: scheduling + light graphic design + monthly reporting. £1,000–£1,800/month: full content creation, short-form video, community management. £2,000+/month: includes paid amplification and dedicated strategy.
What's actually worth paying for
Short-form vertical video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) does 80% of organic growth in 2026. If your "social management" doesn't include video, you're paying for a slow death. Static carousels alone won't move the needle anymore.
Newcastle under Lyme business reality check
Most Newcastle under Lyme SMEs would do better with one excellent reel a week than 5 mediocre posts. Quality > volume. If budget is tight, drop platforms (just Instagram + TikTok is fine) before cutting quality.
Common questions
How many platforms should I be on?
Two, done well. For most local SMEs that's Instagram + Facebook, or Instagram + TikTok. LinkedIn instead if B2B.
Is it worth boosting posts?
"Boost" is the worst Meta product — broad targeting, expensive results. Run proper Ads Manager campaigns (£10/day minimum) or don't bother.
