The terms, in plain English

Frequently Asked Questions

What you sign, what you pay, what you own, and how the work actually runs. Most agencies make you get on a call to learn any of this. Ours is on this page.

Our prices are published too, $799 to $3,199 a month, on our social media management packages page. Prefer to just ask a person? Call (941) 208-3033.

Contracts, Billing, and Pausing

Do we have to sign up for a year? +

No. The initial term is three months, which is about how long consistent organic social takes to start paying for itself. After that you are month to month, and either of us can end the engagement with 30 days' notice. The terms are in writing before any invoice goes out.

How does billing work? +

You are invoiced monthly, in advance: you pay for the month ahead, and we work. There is no setup fee, no overage if a shoot day runs long, and no travel surcharge anywhere in our service area. The price on the packages page is the price.

Can we pause our package? +

Yes. Need a month off for a vacation? Run a seasonal business and want to sit out the slow months? No problem. Let us know 30 days ahead and we pause, then start up again when your season picks back up. A pause is not a cancellation, and your strategy does not reset.

Can we switch to a different package later? +

Yes. You can move up or down a tier, and the change takes effect at your monthly renewal. Downgrades and cancellation open up after the initial three-month term, with the same 30 days' notice. Nothing about the switch interrupts your posting calendar.

Packages, Custom Quotes, and Paid Ads

Which platforms do you post to? +

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Essential and Growth manage two platforms; on Growth that means posts every other day on Instagram and Facebook. VIRAL manages all four and posts every day. Stories run on top of the feed posts on every tier, from two days a week on Essential to unlimited on VIRAL.

What if none of the packages fits our business? +

Then we quote it. The published tiers cover most businesses, but if you need more platforms, more shoot days, or several locations covered, we will build a quote around what you actually need. Request a custom quote, or bring it up on your free strategy call.

We want to run our social media ourselves. Can you still help? +

Yes. The Social Media Consultation is $997, one time: a full audit of your current socials, a 90-day strategy built with you, one-on-one training so your team can run it, a written playbook you keep, and a 30-day check-in to keep the plan on track. It is the right fit when you have the hands to post and want the system behind them.

How is ad spend handled if we run paid ads? +

Paid ads are in scope whenever you want them. You pay the platform directly, from your own ad account, and we add no markup and take no percentage of your spend. That is not the industry norm, and it is worth asking any agency you are comparing.

How the Work Runs

What happens after we sign? +

The audit and strategy come first, then your first shoot day, then the first batch of edits. Your first posts go live about one week after signing. From there it runs on a schedule: filming on your tier's cadence, posting on the calendar, and a monthly report on what performed and what changes next.

How much content comes out of one shoot day? +

About eight finished videos, plus the photos we shoot for carousels and stories. That holds on every tier, because the cadence scales with the volume: Essential films every other month for one video a week, Growth films monthly for two a week, VIRAL films twice a month for four a week. One visit becomes weeks of content.

How long until the finished videos are ready? +

Two to three days as a rule, same day when something has to move fast. The buffer is deliberate: it leaves room for revisions and lets us time posts to what your analytics say, instead of publishing the moment an export finishes.

Who Owns What

If we ever stop working together, what happens to our content? +

It goes with you, all of it. Every video, photo, and raw file created during the partnership is yours to keep, whether the engagement lasts three months or three years. We keep the right to show the work in our case studies unless you ask us not to. Nothing is held back to make leaving harder.

Still Have a Question?

Ask it live. The free strategy call is 30 minutes with the people who do the work, and questions about terms are welcome there alongside questions about your accounts. If you would rather check us out quietly first, all 20 Google reviews behind our 5.0-star Google rating are quoted with names and dates.
