Problem

What does a social media management agency actually do?

A social media management agency handles the day-to-day work of running a business's social presence. That includes content strategy and planning, content production (photography, video, graphics, copy), scheduling and posting, community management, performance reporting, and paid social where applicable. For UK small businesses, outsourcing social to an agency typically costs £800 to £3,000 per month depending on volume and platforms covered.

FAQ

Frequently asked

If there's anything else you'd like to know, drop us a message.

How much should a UK small business spend on paid ads?

Minimum meaningful spend is £750/month; most spending £1,500 to £3,000/month see the best return-to-effort ratio. Agency management fees are separate: £500 to £2,500/month on top.

What's the difference between Meta ads and Google ads for small businesses?

Meta ads are best for visual businesses, local awareness, and lower-consideration purchases. Google Search ads are best for high-intent buyers actively looking for a specific service. LinkedIn Ads works for B2B. Most SMEs benefit from combining Meta and Google Search rather than picking one.

Do you make the creative or just run the ads?

Both. Creative and campaign management are the same service at Unpick. Separating them is where most agencies fall over.

Do you work with businesses across the UK?

Yes. We're based in London and the Cotswolds and work with businesses across the UK and internationally. Most projects run smoothly remotely, with focused workshops, clear communication and an efficient delivery process.
