Commonly Asked Questions
How much does social media management cost in the UK?
Social media management in the UK costs £505, £842 or £1,262 plus VAT a month with Social Gravity, depending on how many posts, videos and platforms you want. There is no setup fee and no contract. Every plan includes content made from your own jobs, all the posting, and a monthly calendar you approve before anything goes live.
How much should a plumber, builder or electrician pay for social media management?
A UK trade should expect to pay between £500 and £1,300 a month for done-for-you social media that includes video. Below that, you usually get stock images and a post schedule with nobody filming your work. Social Gravity’s plans sit inside that range at £505, £842 and £1,262 plus VAT, with one flat fee and nothing to negotiate.
What is included in the monthly fee?
The fee covers everything needed to run your pages: 12 to 20 posts a month, 2 to 8 short videos, branded graphics, captions and hashtags written for you, before-and-after job posts, profile setup and a monthly calendar you approve. Growth and Dominate add stories, weekly Google Business Profile posts and comment and message replies.
Does the price include Facebook ad spend?
No. The monthly fee covers organic posting only, and no ad spend is included. Organic posts build the trust, and Facebook ads put you in front of thousands of homeowners in your area, so most trades run both. Add our Meta Ads pricing on top of any plan, or bundle social, ads and more under one monthly fee with Full Service Marketing.
Is it cheaper to hire a freelancer or an in-house social media manager instead of an agency?
For a trade, an agency is usually cheaper once you count everything. A full-time social media manager in the UK earns around £30,000 a year before employer costs, and a freelancer still needs you to supply the plan, design and filming. Social Gravity’s Growth plan is £842 plus VAT a month, about £10,000 a year, and includes the whole team: planning, design, writing, video and posting.
Is there a minimum contract or a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee and no minimum term. You pay one flat fee each month and can cancel with one month’s notice. We recommend giving it at least three months, because followers and engagement build over that time.
Do the prices include VAT?
No. All plans are shown plus VAT at the UK standard rate of 20 percent, so Starter is £505 plus VAT, Growth is £842 plus VAT and Dominate is £1,262 plus VAT. If your business is VAT registered, you reclaim it.
Which platforms are included at each price?
Starter covers Facebook and Instagram. Growth adds TikTok. Dominate adds TikTok and LinkedIn. Google Business Profile posts are included weekly on Growth and Dominate. TikTok is worth having from Growth upwards because job videos reach UK homeowners and future apprentices who are never on Facebook.
Is video included, or does it cost extra?
Short videos are included on every plan: 2 a month on Starter, 4 on Growth and 8 on Dominate, all made from the clips you send us. You do not have to be on camera. Dominate also includes a professional quarterly shoot at SG Studios with scripts written for you, so if you want face-to-camera content, that is the plan.
Is social media management worth the money for a trade?
Yes, because your page is usually the first thing a homeowner sees before they call. Most UK homeowners check Facebook or Instagram before choosing a tradesperson, and a page full of recent jobs and reviews wins the quote over a quiet competitor. At £505 plus VAT a month, Starter costs less than most single jobs. If you want direct lead volume as well, pair it with Full Service Marketing.
