How long does Social Media Management take to generate results?
Building a strong social presence takes time, but with consistency engagement and leads steadily grow. Here’s what to expect at each stage.
Bare in mind, each page and industry is different - depending on factors such as how old your page is prior to beginning work, the number of reviews, the area you work in and (obviously) the quality & appeal of your work - you will see varying results and speed.
Presuming your page is new:
0-6 Months
Immediate
In the first few months, your social media presence starts taking shape. Your audience becomes familiar with your brand, engagement begins to rise, and your content gains traction.
While direct leads may be slow at first, consistency builds trust and recognition.
6-12 Months
Grow
By this stage, your audience is growing, posts are generating higher engagement, and your brand is becoming more established.
More enquiries and website traffic start to come in as followers begin to see you as a trusted business.
12+ Months
Succeed
After six months, social media becomes a powerful asset. Your content regularly attracts new customers, engagement is steady, and your brand is a recognised authority in your industry.
With ongoing strategy adjustments, social media continues to drive consistent growth and sales.

FAQs - everything you need to know about Meta Ads
Social media management involves creating, scheduling, and optimising content, engaging with followers, and growing a brand’s online presence across platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
A well-managed social media presence increases brand awareness, builds customer trust, drives engagement, and generates leads - all while saving you time.
We create a tailored posting schedule based on your business goals, typically posting between 2-3 times per week to maintain consistency and engagement - but we offer up to 6 posts per week for businesses that need the extra edge.
While organic social media management focuses on content and engagement, we can also run paid advertising campaigns to further boost reach and lead generation. This service is priced separately but pairs very well with social media management.
Results depend on your industry and strategy. Typically, businesses start seeing increased engagement and enquiries within 3 months, with significant growth over 6+ months. Our fastest inquiry is 13 hours after starting a brand new page.
We create professional content for you, but we will require photos and/or videos from you. Just send those across and we will take care of everything else.
We do also have a team of photo/videographers we can send out to your location(s) - feel free to ask us about it.We track key metrics such as reach, engagement, follower growth, and leads generated, providing insights on performance and areas for improvement.
We bill quarterly for our social media management service, so you're not locked into any long-term commitments. You can cancel the service at any time - or put it on hold.
Yes! Well-optimised posts, strategic calls-to-action, and link placements can drive more visitors to your website, increasing enquiries and sales.
