Social media marketing that sounds like you

Nobody follows a business because it posts consistently. They follow it because something it said was worth reading.

The content treadmill

Most business social accounts are a calendar being fed. Twelve posts a month, four of them holidays, one stock photo of a handshake, and an engagement rate that rounds to zero. The output is real and the result is not, which is a demoralising place to spend a budget. The fix is usually fewer posts with something specific in them.

What the work actually is

01

Voice, worked out first

Before anything gets posted we sit with whoever built the business and work out how they actually talk. That becomes a short, usable voice guide, not a forty page brand bible nobody opens. It is the difference between a feed that sounds like a company and one that sounds like a marketing department.

02

Content built from what you already have

The job you finished last week, the question a customer asked twice, the thing your team knows that your competitors do not explain. Most businesses are sitting on more usable material than they think and are posting stock imagery instead.

03

Platforms chosen, not collected

A commercial contractor does not need TikTok. A trades business often does better on one well kept Facebook page than on five neglected accounts. We pick the two or three where your buyers actually are and do those properly.

04

Replies are part of the service

Comments, direct messages, and reviews get answered on a schedule, escalated to you when they need a real decision, and tracked so the same complaint does not surface three times unnoticed. An unanswered question on a public page is a sales objection with an audience.

05

Reporting without vanity

Reach and follower counts are context. We report on saves, shares, profile visits, clicks, and enquiries that name a platform, and we say plainly when a channel has stopped earning its place.

How we run it

The same order every time, because the expensive mistakes all come from doing step four before step two.

  1. 01

    Listen

    Audit the accounts, read the comments, and find out what has already worked and what got ignored.

  2. 02

    Set the voice

    A short written guide with real examples, agreed with the person whose name is on the door.

  3. 03

    Plan

    A monthly plan tied to what the business is actually doing, with room left for whatever happens that week.

  4. 04

    Publish and reply

    Scheduling, posting, and community management on a stated response window.

  5. 05

    Review

    Monthly numbers and an honest read on which platform to keep, cut, or push harder.

Social media marketing, answered plainly

How often should we post?

Two to three times a week on the platforms that matter, done well, beats daily filler. The number worth watching is how many people finish reading.

Do you write the content or do we?

We write it. You give us access to the raw material, which usually means a fifteen minute call a month and a shared folder for photos from the field. The photos from the field consistently outperform anything we could commission.

Will you respond to negative reviews?

Yes, with a draft to you first when the situation has any complexity. A calm, specific reply to a bad review does more for the next reader than ten positive ones.

Do we need paid social too?

Only if the organic content is already working. Paying to distribute posts nobody engages with just buys you a larger sample of indifference.

Can you manage accounts for multiple brands?

Yes. A good share of our clients run several brands, and keeping voices genuinely distinct across them is most of the craft.

Who owns the accounts?

You do, always, under your own business email. This is not negotiable on our side. Losing access to a page because it was created under a former employee's personal login is one of the most common disasters we get called about.

Talk to someone who does social media marketing

Half an hour with someone who does this work rather than someone who sells it. Bring the awkward questions.
