Frequently asked questions
Comparing social media marketing agencies?
Clear answers about cost, content, platforms, timescales, paid social and the first month of management.
How much does a social media marketing agency cost in the UK?
Vistoplex organic social media management starts from £349 per month for one priority platform. Multi-platform management, higher posting volumes, short-form video, community management and paid-social campaigns increase the scope and monthly fee.
What does a social media marketing agency do?
A social media marketing agency develops the strategy, creates and adapts content, schedules posts, manages relevant engagement, runs paid campaigns where required and reports on the activity that supports reach, enquiries, leads, bookings or sales.
What is included in social media management?
A typical Vistoplex retainer includes onboarding, account audit, content pillars, monthly calendar, captions, creative production, approval, scheduling, publishing and performance reporting. Exact deliverables are agreed before work begins.
Do you create all of the social media content?
We can create captions, graphics, carousels, templates, content ideas and short-form video plans. Clients often provide raw photos, footage, offers, FAQs, reviews or subject-matter input, which we transform into platform-ready content.
Which social media platforms do you manage?
We manage Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube and X where appropriate. We also manage paid campaigns through Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok, and can connect social activity with email marketing and landing pages.
Is paid social advertising included?
Paid social is available as a standalone service or combined with organic management. Campaign-management retainers start from £449 per month, while organic and paid packages start from approximately £799 per month. Advertising spend is separate.
How long does social media marketing take to work?
Paid campaigns can create reach and leads quickly when the offer, tracking and creative are strong. Organic social usually requires several months of consistent publishing before reliable patterns emerge. We set expectations around the business goal rather than promising viral posts.
Do you work with small businesses and SMEs?
Yes. The service is designed mainly for UK small businesses, growing SMEs and professional organisations that need consistent marketing support but do not yet require a full internal social media team.
Can you take over our existing social media accounts?
Yes. We can audit existing accounts, improve profile positioning, organise content themes, review access and tracking, then introduce a new calendar and approval process without requiring new accounts.
What happens during the first month?
The first month normally covers onboarding, account access, audit, competitor review, content pillars, platform priorities, creative direction and the first approved calendar. Publishing starts once the strategy and initial content are approved.
Do you guarantee followers, leads or viral content?
No credible agency can guarantee virality or a fixed number of organic followers. We focus on consistent execution, strong creative, accurate targeting, clear calls to action and reporting that improves the campaign over time.
Can social media work with SEO, email and website marketing?
Yes. Social content can repurpose SEO articles, strengthen branded search, build retargeting audiences, promote lead magnets and move interested visitors into email or website conversion journeys. Vistoplex can manage these channels as one coordinated system.
