Social Media Marketing

Content that gets watched, not scrolled past.

Reels-first content, real community management and paid amplification built for how Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn actually rank content in 2026 - not how they worked five years ago.

Platforms we run: Instagram · Facebook · LinkedIn · Reels · Community Management

Beyond Just Posting

The algorithms changed. Most brands' strategy didn't.

Short-form video now accounts for the majority of time people spend on social platforms, and Instagram's own algorithm rewards accounts that post Reels consistently with sharply higher reach than accounts that don't. LinkedIn now favours short "micro-lesson" video over text posts, and Facebook is blending AI-curated and chronological feeds. Posting the same flat content everywhere and hoping isn't a strategy anymore - it's a reason your reach is falling.

Every major platform has deliberately shifted from social-graph distribution, where your followers reliably saw your posts, to AI-driven discovery, where the platform decides who sees what based on predicted engagement. Business accounts have been hit harder than personal creator accounts in this shift, because platforms make their money from advertising and have every incentive to make organic distribution unreliable for anyone selling something.

The practical effect: a content calendar built around "post consistently and people will see it" quietly stops working, and the business owner usually notices only after reach and leads have already been falling for months. This is exactly the gap a real strategy closes - not by posting more, but by matching content format and paid amplification to how each platform's algorithm actually distributes content today.

Reach Keeps Quietly Dropping

You're posting as often as ever, but reach and engagement have been sliding for months with no obvious cause.

Still No Real Reels Strategy

Your feed is mostly static images or horizontal video cropped into a square, while competitors post native vertical content that gets pushed.

DMs And Comments Pile Up

Customer messages sit unanswered for days because nobody's specifically responsible for community management.

Posting Without A Plan

You post because you feel like you should, not because each piece of content ties back to a specific business goal.

Is This You?

Signs you actually need this, not just more advice about it.

If two or more of these sound familiar, the gap usually isn't effort - it's a strategy still built for how these platforms worked a few years ago, not how they rank content today.

What's Included

Everything that goes into a channel that actually grows.

Not a generic content calendar - each piece below is scoped to what your account actually needs. See how that scoping works just below.

Reels-First Content Calendar

Production planned around native vertical video, not horizontal footage cropped into a square as an afterthought.

Community Management

Comments and DMs answered by a real person working from your approved brand voice, within an agreed response window.

Paid Amplification

Lookalike Audiences and Reels ads built from your best existing customers, not a generic "boost post" click.

Platform-Specific Strategy

Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn each get a different content approach, because their algorithms reward different things.

Analytics & Reporting

Reach, engagement and follower growth tracked monthly in plain language, not a spreadsheet of vanity numbers.

Creator & Influencer Partnerships

Only recommended when there's a genuine audience fit for your category, not sold as a default add-on.

Brand Voice Guidelines

A documented tone and style so every post, reply and caption sounds consistently like your brand.

Crisis & Comment Moderation

A plan for handling negative comments or a PR moment before it needs one, not scrambling after it happens.

Scope Options

What's included depends on scope, not a fixed package.

This describes the difference in deliverables, not price - we quote after understanding your actual goals.

Foundational
One primary platform (usually Instagram or Facebook), a Reels-first content calendar, community management within a set response window, and monthly reporting on reach and engagement.
Full-Service
Multi-platform coverage across Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, a paid amplification layer using Lookalike Audiences, creator partnership sourcing where there's genuine audience fit, and more frequent optimisation check-ins.

The Process

How we actually run a social media account, step by step

There's no single trick here - it's a repeatable system run every month, not a one-time setup.

01

Audience & Competitor Mapping

We identify which platforms your actual customers use and study what's working for direct competitors right now, not six months ago.

02

Content Pillar Planning

Every post is mapped to a small set of recurring themes (education, proof, personality, offer) so the account has a recognisable identity instead of random posts.

03

Native-Format Production

Video is shot and edited vertically for Reels/Shorts from the start, not repurposed from horizontal footage, since cropped content is visibly penalised by current ranking signals.

04

Publishing & Community Management

Posts go out on a fixed schedule, and comments/DMs are answered inside an agreed response window by someone working from your approved brand voice, not left to accumulate.

05

Paid Amplification Layer

Once we know which organic posts are genuinely resonating, we put budget behind those specific posts as Lookalike-Audience ads, rather than guessing at cold creative.

06

Monthly Reporting & Iteration

Reach, engagement rate and follower quality (not just count) are reviewed monthly, and the content plan is adjusted based on what the data actually shows.

Format Shift, Not Number Shift

Vertical video, tighter captions and faster response times go live first. This is expected to show up before the numbers do, not a sign of delay.

~Month 2

Engagement Rate Moves First

Not follower count. The algorithm is still learning what your account's content performs well with, so engagement rate is usually the first real signal.

Ongoing

Reach Follows Engagement

Reach growth typically follows engagement rate, not the other way round - which is why we don't front-load reporting around follower count.

Timeline

What results actually look like

We won't hand you a projected percentage lift, because Growth Magnet doesn't have a published set of verified case studies yet and we'd rather tell you that plainly than invent a number to sound impressive.

What we will do is show you your own account's engagement rate and reach trend line every month, against your own history, so progress (or the lack of it) is visible in your own data rather than a promise.

Not sure why your reach has been dropping?

We'll audit your last 90 days of posts against what the current algorithms actually reward, free.

Myths, Busted

Social media advice that's quietly out of date.

Myth: Posting every day is enough on its own
Reality: consistency of format matters more than raw frequency. Instagram accounts posting fewer than 4 Reels a week see meaningfully lower overall reach, regardless of how many other posts fill the gaps.
Myth: Organic reach alone will grow a brand today
Reality: paid amplification built on top of good organic content, like Lookalike Audiences from your existing customers, is what actually gets that content in front of new people at scale.
Myth: More followers automatically means more sales
Reality: engagement and genuine community matter more than a follower count. A smaller, actively engaged audience converts better than a large, passive one.
Myth: Cropping horizontal video into a square works fine
Reality: platform algorithms now clearly favour native vertical formats over repurposed horizontal content - a straight crop reads as lower quality to both viewers and the algorithm.

Common Questions

Social media marketing, answered.

Which platforms should my business actually be on?

Whichever ones your customers actually use and where you can sustain quality content, not all of them. Most businesses do better focusing on two platforms done well than five done badly - we help you pick based on where your actual audience spends time.

How often do we need to post?

Consistency of format matters more than raw frequency, but on Instagram specifically, brands posting fewer than 4 Reels a week tend to see a meaningful drop in overall account reach - so we plan a realistic, sustainable cadence rather than a token weekly post.

Do we need paid ads, or is organic enough?

Organic content builds trust and community, but paid amplification - like Lookalike Audiences built from your best customers - is what gets that content in front of new people at scale. In 2026 they work best together, not as a choice between one or the other.

Can you repurpose our existing horizontal video content?

We can, but we'll usually re-edit it rather than just crop it - platform algorithms now clearly favour native vertical formats over repurposed horizontal content, so a straight crop underperforms a proper re-edit.

Do you work with influencers or creators?

Yes, when it makes sense for your budget and category - creator partnerships and collaborations are a growing part of what performs well on Instagram and LinkedIn, but we only recommend it when there's a clear audience fit, not as a default add-on.

Who actually responds to comments and DMs?

Our team, working from a brand voice guide you approve upfront, with a clear response-time target we agree with you - not an automated bot pretending to be a person.

Who owns the content and account after we stop working together?

You do. The account, the content library and any creative assets stay yours - we hand over full access and files, no lock-in.

How much does social media management cost?

It depends on how many platforms, how much original content production is involved, and whether paid amplification is included. We give a clear quote after understanding your actual goals, not a generic package price.
