Our Social Media Marketing Services
As a social media marketing agency, we handle all aspects of your company's social media presence. This includes creating and posting content, running social media ads, and monitoring your social media activity.
Learn About Your Business, Target Audience, and Competition
Posting content on social media may seem simple, but what you post matters greatly.
Before we create any content for you, we conduct thorough research. This involves examining your online presence, studying your business, analyzing your competitors, and understanding your target audience.
We aim to learn everything about your business, including what sets you apart from competitors and your unique selling points. By asking questions and delving deep, we develop a comprehensive understanding of your business and your audience's needs.
We then use this knowledge to create a tailored marketing plan and identify the right audience for your business. We look beyond basic demographics to understand what drives your audience and what challenges they face.
Analyzing your competitors' social media strategies helps us identify effective tactics to engage your shared audience. Understanding your potential customers' motivations and behaviors guides us in crafting content that resonates with them.
The more insights we gather about your business, competitors, and audience, the better equipped we are to manage your social media platforms effectively.
Content Creation
Once we've conducted thorough research and developed a tailored strategy for your business, our next step is to craft content for your social media channels.
The volume of content we generate depends on your chosen plan, but typically, we produce written copy accompanied by an image or video for each post. The call-to-action included in the copy varies based on the platform; for instance, Instagram posts often direct users to the bio link due to restrictions on clickable links within the post.
Similarly, Twitter's character limit requires concise copy. Additionally, if you opt for Instagram, we can create content for features like Instagram Stories. Regarding visuals, we utilize graphics, GIFs, and videos to complement the copy.
Our goal is to create engaging content that resonates with your target audience and sets your brand apart from competitors, drawing from the insights gathered during our research phase.
Content Calendar Scheduling
We previously mentioned how posting on social media is usually straightforward, but things can get complicated when you're managing a pre-planned monthly calendar.
For small business owners, manually publishing individual social media posts with carefully chosen hashtags across multiple platforms several times a day is not feasible.
Not only does it consume valuable time, but it also increases the likelihood of spelling and grammatical errors.
Recognizing this challenge, we take the burden of publishing off your shoulders. We create social media content calendars for our clients a month in advance.
Then, we utilize our publishing and analytics software to schedule the entire month's worth of content in one go.
This approach ensures that posts are error-free, saves time for both you and us, allowing us to concentrate on other marketing aspects, and it establishes a consistent posting schedule that your social media followers can anticipate.
Social Media Paid Advertising
Unfortunately in todays world of social media marketing it's almost always a pay to play environment.
Sure you can try to grow your followers organically, which can take a very long time, but even if you do grow your following to a large number; chances are your post will never reach them all.
Let's say you have 10,000 followers on Instagram. If you make a post you may only reach 10% (1,000) of your followers.
If you have good content, the best way to get it out to reach the most people is through paid social media ads.
Whether you want to drive website traffic, increase direct sales, generate leads, or boost social media engagement, social media advertising can help you accomplish your goals.
Our team of social media ad specialists is skilled in executing any ad campaign you need or that we recommend for your business.
Social Media Monitoring
You may have heard that a "set it and forget it" approach won't cut it in digital marketing, and that rings true, especially for social media.
The online world changes constantly, driven by the ever-evolving behaviors and opinions of real people.
That's why we make social media monitoring a part of our services.
Whether you're using our social media management, advertising, or both, we're keeping an eye on your social presence daily.
We track comments, messages, and responses from your followers, as well as how your ads are performing.
By analyzing what's working and what's not, we continuously refine your social media strategy to ensure it's driving the results you need.
What Does It Mean To Be A Full-Service Social Media Marketing Company?
We've discussed our social media management and other services, but what does it mean to be a full-service online marketing company?
Sure, we offer various services like social media advertising, management, email marketing, PPC, and SEO. But the real power comes when these services are integrated into one comprehensive strategy.
Having all your marketing handled by one agency streamlines communication and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
When different agencies handle different aspects, like social media by one and SEO by another, it can lead to miscommunication and missed optimization opportunities.
Having all your social media efforts managed by one company offers many benefits.
It ensures synergy between different marketing channels, optimal strategies in each area, smooth communication, and ultimately, better results.
Kickstart Local specializes in social media marketing, but we're experts in various digital marketing services.
So, being a full-service social media marketing company means we handle all your marketing needs under one roof, providing you peace of mind, saving you time, and delivering the results you want.

You might be wondering, "What's the deal with hiring a social media marketing company?" Well, the main perk our social media marketing agency offers is saving you time and boosting your ROI without breaking the bank.

Take Facebook and Instagram, for example. They provide a plethora of targeting options. You can narrow down your audience based on demographics, interests, and behaviors. Plus, you can even upload your own list of customers or email subscribers to retarget them or find new customers who share similar traits in a lookalike audience.

Remarketing Audiences
Did you know social media platforms like Facebook, Instgram, and YouTube allow you to create buckets of people who have engaged with your brand? Whether they have clicked on an ad, viewed a video, or visited your website to read a blog post, you can create a list of your most active followers and put them into advertising buckets that you can then market your ads to.
This is a great way to not only build up your brand awareness and most loyal followers, but also create very segmented and targeted lists of people who are most likely to want to use your product or service. That’s why having a 2-pronged approach to your social media plans is so important. First you want to put out good content that your ideal client or customer is most likely to consume, and secondly you want to then remarket to those people with some type of offer or incentive to get them to contact you.
