How much do content creation and social media management cost in Huntsville?

Every content package includes customer research and a messaging map at setup, monthly planning, one filming visit at one agreed location, editing, reel subtitles, caption drafts, one consolidated revision round, and organized final files.

Reels are formatted for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. The package contains six or twelve unique original reels; the platform versions use those same originals. Full Content carousels have up to six slides and are supplied for Instagram and Facebook.

The Full Content Plan also includes eight additional prompts for your team, one 30-minute monthly strategy call, and feedback on up to four client-created posts, drafts, or ideas each month. Your team creates and revises those additional pieces.

Your team publishes unless you add management to the Full Content Plan.

The setup covers initial market research and your Ideal Customer Profile Content Messaging Map. Research covers one business, one core geographic market, and up to two related priority services: we review your business information, available customer evidence, and three relevant competitors, then connect the customers you want to reach with the questions, concerns, and evidence your content should address.

You receive a concise research summary with sources, an ideal customer profile, and a messaging map you can reference and edit. The map comes as a PDF and an editable file. The $450 reels setup includes at least six completed map entries, twelve starter content angles, and four content themes. You review the direction before the first filming visit.

The $950 Full Content Plan setup is broader: we research your customers and three relevant competitors, review your existing social content, and build a messaging map with at least twelve completed entries and twenty-four starter angles. It also includes a 90-day thematic roadmap and the first monthly calendar. The roadmap sets priorities; it is not ninety days of finished content.

Setup is charged once for the selected scope and includes one consolidated revision round. Adding management, adding a platform, or switching between reels packages has no new setup charge. If you move from a reels package to the Full Content Plan during the engagement, the $450 you paid is credited toward the $950 expanded setup, so you pay the $500 difference ($950 − $450).

These totals include six monthly payments and one setup fee: $450 for the reels packages or $950 for the Full Content Plan. The management examples assume management starts with the six-month content engagement. Add-ons such as the $300/month story clips for a reels package, extra platforms, travel, and separately quoted services increase the total.

Setup is paid before research begins. Monthly billing follows the agreed production start date. “Monthly fee plus setup” combines the two charges for comparison only; your quote confirms the actual payment schedule.

The Full Content Plan with Posting and Responses is $3,350/month on one platform, plus the $950 one-time setup. The $850 management portion is part of that combined price, not a standalone service. Each additional managed platform adds $350/month.

The Full Content Plan with Management and Outreach is $3,850/month on one platform, plus the $950 setup; its management portion is $1,350/month. Each additional managed platform adds $500/month. Both options include the Full Content Plan’s twenty story pieces and ongoing consultation.

One platform is one business account on one social network. Facebook and Instagram therefore count as two. The Full Content Plan with Posting and Responses on both totals $3,700/month; with Management and Outreach, the total is $4,350/month. The $950 Full Content setup applies once to the engagement, not per account.

Management includes defined monthly activity allowances and business-day response hours. Its publishing covers the content we produce: up to twenty feed placements and twenty story pieces per selected platform each month. Publishing pieces your team creates, including pieces from the eight monthly prompts, is agreed separately. Review the scope before comparing prices.

A story piece is one finished vertical video clip or designed photo frame; a sequence of three finished story frames counts as three pieces. Stories are distinct finished pieces beyond the reels and carousels, produced from the same monthly visit. Your team publishes stories unless management is added to the Full Content Plan, which publishes up to twenty of the included story pieces per selected platform each month.

Check the number of original pieces, where the material comes from, and who handles the work after delivery. A proposal for editing supplied footage has a different scope from one that includes research, planning, and an on-site production visit.

Check whether publishing, comments, messages, reporting, travel, and revisions are included. Ask how a “post,” “platform,” or “story” is counted and whether the quoted monthly price requires another package.

Then compare the full commitment. Include setup, the contract term, your selected add-ons, and the work your team will still need to do.

Read the questions to ask before hiring.

Start with the amount of useful content you can publish and the responsibility your team can take on. Six Reels provides a regular video foundation. Twelve Reels gives you a larger video library. The Full Content Plan adds carousels, twenty story pieces, photography, a coordinated calendar, and ongoing guidance for your team’s own content (eight prompts, a monthly strategy call, and feedback on up to four items), plus the option to add management.

If choosing the service is the harder question, read content creation versus social media management.
