How much does it cost to have someone run your business's social media?
By Maher Al Dali5 min read
The short answer
What changes the price most at any agency is who creates the content. With us you pay a monthly fee fixed before we start, with no lock-in and the shoot at your business included. On the entry plan we give you the footage and the calendar and you post; on the middle plan we post on Instagram and Facebook, and on the fullest plan, on all your channels.
“Running your social media” can mean anything from scheduling the photos you send to shooting, writing and posting every week. Before comparing prices, look at what's inside each one.
What's inside “running your social media”
- The calendar: what gets posted, which day and why.
- The content: the videos and photos.
- The copy for every post.
- The posting and scheduling.
- The measuring: what worked and what changes next month.
The expensive part, the one almost nobody includes, is the second. An agency with no camera asks you for photos on WhatsApp or leans on stock images. We shoot at your business every month, and that's what gets posted.
What's included with us
| Plan | What comes in each month | Who posts |
|---|---|---|
| Entry plan | 2 crafted reels, 4 quick ones and 6 photos | You, with our footage and calendar |
| Middle plan | 4 crafted reels, 4 quick ones, 8 photos and 1 carousel | Us, on Instagram and Facebook, with the copy |
| The fullest plan | 4 crafted reels, 6 quick ones, 16 photos and 2 carousels | Us, on all your channels |
All with a shoot at your business, approval in Studio and delivery within 10 days of the shoot. The fee is fixed before we start and there's no lock-in.
The options, side by side
| Option | How you pay | Where the content comes from | The risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yourself | With your time | Your phone | That the business leaves you no time and the profile stalls |
| Freelance community manager | Monthly fee or per hour | Whatever you send them | Good copy over weak photos |
| Agency with no camera | Monthly fee | Your photos or a stock library | That your profile looks like everybody else's |
| FILMAGENCY | Monthly fee, fixed before we start | One shoot a month at your business | No lock-in: you stay if it works |
We don't put figures on what others charge: we can't check them.
What you can expect
401,900
views on the Instagram of Naxienian, a restaurant in Barcelona, from 12 October to 10 November 2026. In June, before we started, it was 5,263. Those are views, not sales.
It's not a promise: it depends on your starting point, your area and your competition. What does depend on us is the pace: new content every month and posts going out every week.
What to check before you sign
Ask where the content comes from, whether you see each post before it goes out and what figures they'll show you each month. Be wary of anyone who only talks about followers: likes don't fill the till.
With us, every piece goes through FILMAGENCY Studio: you see it as it will look on your profile, comment on the exact second and approve it from your phone.
The audit is free: within 48 hours we send you what's going wrong with your social media next to three competitors, plus three video ideas. If you start within the following 7 days, the first video is on us and your first month costs 20 % less.
