Social Media Marketing Consulting is the organic and planning side of our marketing consultant services. It helps your own team post with purpose instead of posting because they feel they should.

What is Social Media Marketing Consulting?

Social Media Marketing Consulting is guidance for the people who run your social accounts. We review what you post, where, how often and how people respond, then show you what to change. Your team keeps posting, with a clearer plan.

If you would rather hand the work over, our Social Media Marketing service plans and runs campaigns, and Social Media Management covers day-to-day posting and community replies.

Which social media platforms should my business be on?

Be where your customers already spend time, and only on as many platforms as you can keep up well. Two active accounts usually do more than five quiet ones.

PlatformOften a fit for
FacebookLocal services, community groups, events, and older homeowner audiences
InstagramVisual businesses such as restaurants, salons, real estate, renovations and retail
LinkedInProfessional services, B2B firms, trucking and logistics, and recruiting
TikTokBrands with a personality to show and audiences that watch short video
YouTubeHow-to content, project walkthroughs and longer explanations people search for

We base the recommendation on your customers, your team’s time and the type of content you can produce consistently.

What a social media content plan includes

  • Three to five content themes tied to your services and customer questions
  • A realistic posting rhythm your team can keep up
  • Format guidance for Reels, Stories, carousels and short video
  • Simple ideas for local content, such as projects in Fleetwood or events in Cloverdale
  • Guidance on replying to comments and messages
  • When to boost a post or run a separate paid campaign

Surrey’s audiences are multilingual, and Punjabi is widely spoken alongside English. Depending on your customers, the plan may include some posts or captions in more than one language.

How to measure social media without chasing vanity numbers

Likes and followers are easy to count but rarely pay the bills. We help you track the actions that matter to your business, such as messages, profile link clicks, calls and website visits from social.

  • Use tagged links (UTM parameters) so Google Analytics 4 shows which posts sent visitors
  • Track direct messages and comments that turn into quotes or bookings
  • Compare saves, shares and replies to see which topics people value
  • Review results monthly and keep the themes that work

When paid promotion becomes a larger part of the plan, Facebook & Instagram Ads Consulting goes deeper into campaign setup and tracking.

Frequently asked questions

How much does social media marketing consulting cost?

The cost depends on how many platforms we review, whether you want a full content plan or a quick review, and whether you want ongoing check-ins. A business on one or two platforms needs less time than one active on five. Request the free analysis and we will suggest a scope and give you a quote.

How often should my business post on social media?

Post as often as you can keep up with good quality, and be consistent. For many small businesses that means a few posts a week rather than daily. We look at your team’s time, your content and how your audience responds, then recommend a rhythm you can actually maintain.

How long before social media makes a difference?

It depends on your starting audience, how consistently you post, the quality of your content and whether you add paid promotion. Organic growth tends to build gradually, while paid promotion can reach people sooner. We help you set measures so you can see progress, even before it shows up in sales.

What is the difference between social media consulting and social media management?

With consulting, we review your accounts and create a plan that your team carries out. With Social Media Management, Vivid Marketing does the posting, scheduling and community replies for you. Some businesses start with consulting, then hand over management once the plan is working.

Who should own my social media accounts?

Your business should own its pages and profiles, and staff or agencies should work through roles or partner access you grant. If a past employee or agency set up your accounts in their name, we can advise on how to regain control. We never need your personal password to do a review.

Do you work with businesses outside Surrey?

Yes. We work in person with businesses in Surrey and the Lower Mainland and remotely with clients anywhere in Canada. Social profiles are public and insights can be shared by screen, so remote consulting follows the same steps as local work.
