Social Media Management for Houston Businesses
Social media management is the ongoing job of planning what gets posted, publishing it on schedule, replying to the comments and messages that come back, and reporting what it produced. We handle that monthly so your presence does not go quiet during your busiest weeks, which are exactly the weeks customers are checking whether you are still active.
It pairs with content creation. Management is the calendar, the publishing and the conversation. Creation is the photos, video and writing that fill it.
Who it is for
Is this the right fit?
- Owners who start posting consistently and stop by week three
- Businesses whose pages have not been updated in months
- Teams getting messages on social that nobody is assigned to answer
- Businesses that want their social presence to reinforce their search visibility instead of running separately
Problems this work solves
A quiet page reads as a closed business
People check social to confirm you are real and still operating. A last post from fourteen months ago answers that question the wrong way, no matter how booked you are.
Posting depends on the one person with no time
When the owner is the content team, content is the first thing dropped. A managed calendar removes that dependency.
Messages sit unanswered
Direct messages and comments are inbound leads arriving through a channel nobody is watching. The first useful reply usually wins the job.
Nothing connects back to the website
Social attention that never reaches a page where somebody can book, call or ask a question is attention you paid for and gave away.
What is included
Planning
- A monthly content calendar built around your real work and seasonality
- Platform selection based on where your customers actually are
- Profile setup and cleanup so every channel says the same thing
Publishing
- Writing, formatting and scheduling posts for each platform
- Hashtag and caption approach that fits the platform rather than copying across
- Google Business Profile posts included alongside social channels
Community management
- Monitoring comments, mentions and direct messages
- Replying in your voice, with escalation to you when a real quote is needed
- Flagging and routing genuine leads so they land somewhere you will see them
Reporting
- Monthly summary of reach, engagement and inbound conversations
- What performed, what did not, and what we are changing next month
How the work runs
We review your existing profiles, the accounts you compete with for attention, and how you actually talk about your work.
A month is planned in advance and shared with you before anything publishes. Nothing goes out in language you would not use.
Content ships on schedule. Comments and messages get monitored on business days, with anything requiring you routed straight to you.
Monthly reporting, then adjustments to platform mix, format and frequency based on what earned conversations.
Expectations
What you can realistically expect
- Consistency is the first result, and it is the one that matters most in the first quarter.
- Engagement usually improves before follower count does. Followers are the vanity number.
- Social rarely produces a flood of same-day sales for a local service business. It produces familiarity, and familiarity is what makes someone pick your name off a list.
- Reach on any platform depends on algorithm changes nobody outside those companies controls.
Pricing
How this is priced
Social management is priced by platform count, posting frequency and how much original production is involved. We scope it after a growth review so you are not paying for a package that does not match your pace.
Our published pricing covers search work: a $1,599 SEO setup and $899 per month for ongoing management. Everything on this page is quoted separately after a review, so you are paying for the scope your business actually needs.

3 min readSocial Media Management: common questions
What does a social media manager actually do every month?
Plans a calendar, writes and schedules the posts, publishes them, watches comments and messages, replies or escalates, keeps profile details accurate, and reports what happened. The visible part is the posts. The part that produces work is usually the replying.
How often should a local business post?
Two to four times a week on your main platform is a realistic, sustainable pace for most local businesses. Consistency beats volume. Posting daily for a month then vanishing performs worse than a steady weekly rhythm.
Which platforms should we be on?
The ones your customers use, which for most Houston service businesses means Facebook and Instagram, sometimes plus one industry-specific channel. Being good on two beats being absent on five.
Do you need access to our accounts?
Yes, with the minimum permission level required. Accounts stay in your ownership and you can remove our access at any time.
Who approves posts?
You do, until you tell us you would rather not. Most owners review the first month or two closely and then move to spot checks.
