FAQs

What experience should a social media manager have?

Look for a manager who knows different social media platforms well. They should have managed accounts or campaigns that grew followers or boosted engagement. Ask if they have experience with your type of business like fitness or cooking.

How do I set clear goals for my social media manager?

Write down what you want, like more followers or selling more products. Make sure the goals are clear and simple. Share these with the manager so you both know what you're working towards.

How do we decide on a strategy together?

Talk about what your brand stands for and who your audience is. Discuss different social media strategies and pick one that feels right. Your manager should help create a plan that matches your goals and audience.

What tools should a social media manager use?

Ask if they use tools for scheduling posts, tracking analytics, or designing graphics. Good managers know tools like Canva or Hootsuite. These make managing your social media easier and more organized.

How do we agree on content deliverables?

Decide what kind of content you need, like photos, videos, or blog posts. Make a list and agree on how often you want each type of content. This helps the manager know exactly what to create for you.

How do we measure success on social media?

Talk about what success looks like for your brand. It could be more followers, likes, or sales. Your manager should track these numbers and report back to you regularly so you know how things are going.

How often should we communicate?

Decide on how often you want to talk. It could be weekly or monthly check-ins. Regular communication helps ensure everyone is on the same page.

How do I handle the onboarding process?

Get all your brand info, like logos and passwords, ready to share. Have a meeting to introduce your brand and talk about your needs. This helps your manager understand your brand vision from the start.

How do we ensure smooth project management?

Use project management tools like Trello or Asana. Agree on deadlines and tasks with your manager. This makes it easy to track work and stay organized.

How should feedback be given on social media posts?

Be clear and kind when giving feedback. Point out what you like and what needs changing. This helps your manager learn what works best for your brand.
