How Much Does Social Media Management Cost in Florida?

Judge it on evidence: the price per post in writing, who approves posts before they go out, and whether the company's own feed is active. L3ad Solutions makes the shortlist for a Florida local business that wants a person in the loop: the first 10 posts on each platform are read and approved by you or Nate before posting runs on its own, and social media management in Florida starts at $350 a month with no setup fee.

Ask every company you compare for the same three things: posts a month by platform, who answers comments and direct messages, and a client feed it runs today.

Siren Web Designs in Jupiter lists Essentials at $250 a month for 8 posts on Facebook and Instagram, Growth at $399 for 12 posts across three platforms and Authority at $699 for 20 posts across four; only Authority includes replies to comments and messages, which the other two add for $150 a month. DPOM, with an office in downtown Tampa, lists social media management from $249 a month on rolling monthly terms plus a $249 setup fee. Most other Florida companies quote by call.

Those are the figures as read on each company's own page on November 5, 2026. Prices change, so confirm on each page before you compare.

Starter is $350 a month: 12 posts on 2 platforms, custom graphic design, a content calendar, hashtag research, basic community management and a monthly analytics report. Growth is $650 a month: everything in Starter plus 20 posts, 4 short-form videos a month, active community management, an engagement strategy and a strategy call every two weeks.

The platforms are Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Google Business Profile. We write and post for you, billing is month-to-month, and you can stop after any month.

Divide the monthly fee by the posts it buys. Siren's $250 tier works out to about $31 a post for 8 posts and its $699 tier to about $35 for 20 with replies included. Our Starter is about $29 a post ($350 for 12) and Growth about $33 ($650 for 20) with four short videos inside the fee.

A per-post figure only means something when the platform list and the reply handling match. Siren's $399 tier plus its $150 reply add-on is $549 for 12 posts, about $46 a post.

Five things: how many platforms, how many posts a month, whether short video is included, who replies to comments and messages, and how often you get a report or a call. New Media's 2026 pricing guide adds agency experience, creative type, ad campaigns and business type to that list.

Setup fees are the sixth: DPOM charges $249 once. Ours is zero; the first month's fee covers the calendar and the first posts.

New Media's 2026 guide puts smaller packages at $500 to $1,500 a month, a typical retainer at $1,000 to $5,000, and full-strategy work at $2,500 to $7,500 or more. Rohring Results in Sarasota puts basic packages at $300 to $1,500 and full-service packages at $2,000 to $10,000 or more. LYFE Marketing's Florida list shows a $1,000-plus minimum project and $50 to $99 an hour for its own work. All read November 5, 2026.

Those bands are written for brands with a marketing team. A one-truck trade or a two-chair salon needs the $250 to $700 end, which is where the Florida companies above and our plans sit.

Ad spend, always. Paid campaign management is a separate service at most companies, including ours, where it sits under advertising with the ad accounts in your name. Platforms beyond your plan count, video beyond the plan, reply handling on lower tiers, and photo or video shoots are the other common extras.

Ask for the extras in writing before you sign. A $249 plan with a $249 setup fee, boosted posts billed on top and no replies can cost more in the first month than a $350 plan that includes them.

Put every quote on the same terms: posts a month, platforms by name, videos a month, who replies and how fast, whether a person approves posts before a tool publishes on its own, what the monthly report counts, setup fee, and how long you are locked in.

Then check the company's own feed and Google profile. If it has not posted in months, expect the same for yours.
