Question 1

How much does social media management cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on how many platforms you want covered, how often you post, and whether you need original photo and video or just management of content you already have. Management-only engagements sit at the lower end, while full production with monthly shoots costs more because a crew and edit time are involved. Rather than publish a package price that fits nobody, we build the plan around your goals and send a written quote — scope, deliverables, and price — within 24 hours of talking to you. Most clients work on a month-to-month agreement.

Question 2

How often should a local business post on social media?

Accepted Answer

For most local businesses, three to five feed posts a week per primary platform plus regular stories is the sweet spot. That's frequent enough to stay in the algorithm's good graces without burning through content quality. What matters more than raw frequency is consistency and format mix: short-form video drives the most new reach right now, while photo posts and carousels do the heavy lifting on conversion and credibility. We set the cadence during strategy and adjust it based on what your reporting shows after the first 60 days.

Question 3

Do I have to approve posts before they go live?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you want to. Every client gets a login to the CurbVue dashboard where the upcoming month's content sits waiting for review. You see the exact caption, the media, and a preview of how it will render on each platform, then approve or request changes with a comment. Some clients review every post, others approve a month at a time and let us run. Nothing publishes without whatever level of sign-off you ask for, and approvals are logged so there's a record of who approved what and when.

Question 4

How long before social media management shows results?

Accepted Answer

Expect early signals in the first 30 days — better reach per post, cleaner profile, more story replies — but meaningful compounding growth takes 90 days or more. Follower count is the slowest and least useful metric to watch. What moves first is reach and saves, which tell you the content is landing; then profile visits and link clicks; then inbound messages and bookings. We report on that whole chain monthly so you can see progress before the vanity numbers catch up, and we adjust the content mix based on which stage is lagging.

Question 5

Which platforms should my business be on?

Accepted Answer

Fewer than you think, done properly. For most local service businesses, Instagram plus Facebook covers the widest local audience, and TikTok is worth adding if you can commit to short-form video. LinkedIn matters if you sell to other businesses. YouTube is a long game that pays off if you already produce video. We would rather run two platforms exceptionally than five badly, so during the audit we recommend a primary and a secondary platform and leave the rest until the first two are working.

Question 6

Who owns the content and the accounts?

Accepted Answer

You do — always. Your social profiles stay in your name with you as owner or admin; we operate through partner or manager access that you can revoke at any time. All photo and video we produce for you is yours to use in ads, on your website, in print, or anywhere else, with no additional licensing fee. If we ever part ways, your accounts stay intact, your content library is handed over, and there is no ransom step where you have to buy back access to your own profiles.

Question 7

What happens if a post gets negative comments?

Accepted Answer

We monitor comments and messages as part of management, and we don't delete criticism by default — deleting tends to escalate it. The standard play is a prompt, non-defensive public reply that moves the conversation to a private channel, then an internal flag to you so you know it happened. Genuine abuse, spam, and competitor harassment get hidden or reported instead. Anything that could become a legal or safety issue is escalated to you the same day rather than handled unilaterally, and we log the whole thread so you have the history.

Question 8

Can you work with content we shoot ourselves?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, and many clients do a mix. You can upload photos and video straight into your CurbVue dashboard from your phone, and we'll edit, caption, and schedule them alongside anything our team shoots. This is a good way to keep costs down while still posting consistently, and it usually produces the most authentic behind-the-scenes content because you're capturing moments as they happen. We'll give you a short shot list so what you send is usable, correctly oriented, and high enough resolution to post.
