Why prices range so widely

Who makes the content. Written-and-designed graphic posts cost far less than video filmed on location. WebFX lists custom content creation at $1,000–$8,000 a month on its own.
How often you post and on how many platforms. Many agencies price per platform and per post.
Ads. Ad management is often a separate line, and ad spend is always paid to Meta, Google or TikTok separately.
Strategy. A posting calendar is not the same as a plan to grow a brand that people recognize.

What Garnet's $1,500-a-month starting point covers

Garnet is a brand builder, not a posting service. We film on location, edit, and post short-form video with your approval in Garnet Studio. At the starting tier that's five videos per week, about 21–22 a month. Ad spend, if any, is paid to the platform separately. Garnet shoots at Kramer Autoplex in Livingston one day a week and posts for the dealership five times a week; its channels went from 0 followers in 2023 to 88.38K across TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram (Metricool, Oct 12, 2026) and show 26M+ public TikTok views and 17M+ YouTube Shorts views (September 2026). See the Kramer Autoplex case study.

How to compare quotes

Count the deliverables: shoots, videos, posts and platforms per month.
Ask whether the price includes filming or only posting graphics.
Confirm ad spend is billed separately, in an account in your name.
Ask about the minimum term and how you leave.
Look at live accounts the agency runs now.

Frequently asked questions

How much does social media management cost per month in East Texas?

Published prices run from about $350 a month for basic posting (Marketing is a Breeze) to $5,000 a month at the top of WebFX's national range. Garnet engagements start at $1,500 a month with video filmed on location.

Is ad spend included in social media management pricing?

Usually not. Ad spend goes directly to the platform; WebFX puts typical social ad spend at $850–$2,000 a month.

Why does video-first social media cost more than graphic posts?

Someone has to plan, film and edit. Vidico puts professionally produced 15–30 second videos at $1,000–$3,000 each; a monthly program batches shoots to bring the per-video cost down.
