Social media management with clear prices, from €190/month.

Posting regularly is the hardest part for anyone running a business on their own. We plan the month, design posts in your brand style, write the captions and publish on Instagram and Facebook at the right time.

Social media shows who you are and what you do; your website and Google make sure people find you. That is why we always link your social profiles to your website, booking and WhatsApp.

Profile setup or refresh: €120 (free in bundles). 3-month minimum. TikTok or LinkedIn: an extra €120/month on Active and Pro. Prices exclude VAT.

• A content plan for the month, approved by you
• Post design in your colours and style
• Captions in Portuguese, English or both
• Scheduled publishing on Instagram and Facebook

Photos and videos are yours. If you need them, we can arrange a photo shoot (€190) or film 4 Reels (€290). Want more reach? Instagram and Facebook ads take your posts to people who do not know you yet.

Anyone researching social media management prices finds very different figures, because “management” can mean almost anything. In our plans, what you get each month is set out in numbers:

• Lite: 8 to 9 posts a month. Good for keeping a profile alive.
• Active: 12 to 13 posts and 2 stories a week, with a monthly report.
• Pro: 20 to 22 posts, 3 stories a week, 2 Reels a month, a report and a 30-minute call. We reply to comments and messages on working days.

For a profile setup or refresh, we handle the bio, avatar, highlight covers and 3 post templates. Filming, paid advertising and competitions are outside the plans.

A social media manager does nothing you could not learn. What is hard is keeping it regular: finding ideas, preparing images and posting every week, even during your busiest weeks. If you have the time and enjoy it, do it yourself and use the Lite plan only when you need help. If your accounts have been quiet for months, time is clearly the problem.

Not every trade needs the same. A salon lives on images of cuts and colour, and a holiday rental on photos of the property and the area. A garage, meanwhile, may do fine on the simplest plan, because most customers arrive through Google.

Social media shows your work to people who already know you; Google brings people who do not yet know you exist. If you have nothing yet, we recommend starting with your Google profile and a professional website, then adding social media. In our article on how much a website costs in Portugal, we do the maths on that first step.

Many Algarve businesses only have Instagram. It works for existing followers, but people searching on Google cannot find you. We explain the difference on our page about websites for salons and barbers. The best results come from both together: see our website and social media bundles.
