Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Top Social Media Marketing Company in the US
What can a social media marketing agency in the US do for your business?
These agencies help businesses drive more brand awareness and community engagement to their brand, leading to higher conversions and customer loyalty.
It uses its unique expertise and local knowledge to select the most beneficial platforms, optimize business profiles, and publish thumb-stopping posts that strengthen online visibility and contribute to overall marketing efforts.
As TikTok’s Marketing Science EUI SMB Advertiser Research states, 1 in 4 TikTok users bought something new after seeing a beauty video on TikTok.
Social media marketing companies help brands show up consistently and creatively, drive discovery and product awareness, influence research and consideration, drive sales and measurable action, and support every stage of the customer journey.
According to research, 81% of consumers have either researched, bought, or considered buying a product or service after seeing influencers, family, or friends post about it on social media.
As Sprout Social's report suggests, 54% of users on TikTok engage with brands daily, which suggests that having a TikTok campaign in place could be very beneficial for your brand, as you’d be able to reach a vast audience.
What kind of budgets do companies typically allocate for these services?
The budget that a company will allocate will depend on the company’s size, industry, and goals.
Companies also need to consider several factors before they can allocate a certain budget; such as marketing metrics, target audience, and attribution.
It’s also important to consider which platform a company wants to focus on the most, to know how much to allocate for each channel. For example, the average Facebook ad cost per click is approximately $0.6, but it can fluctuate depending on the industry.
A standard rule by which most companies go is to allocate 10%-30% of the overall marketing budget to social media marketing.
According to Deloitte research, companies will allocate 24% more moneyfor social media marketing than they did in the previous years.
As the Digital Marketing Institute’s report suggests, 31% of B2C marketers invest 50% or more of their marketing budget in content marketing.
How long does it take for a social media marketing agency to complete a project in the US?
Completing a social media marketing project can take a few weeks to several months or even up to a year in some cases. It all depends on the client’s goals and objectives, the complexity of the project, whether a brand needs to run multiple campaigns, and whether the collaboration is ongoing.
According to experts from Ignite Social Media, a content creation campaign needs at least 90 days to really build momentum and start showing results.
The choice of platforms is another factor that influences the timeline, as each social media platform shows results in different timeframes.
Instagram efforts need to be consistent, and results are expected in 6-18 months.
If you decide to start a Facebook campaign, the project won’t finish for 12 months, and you’ll still have to engage for an additional 12 months to see the results.
The main rule that top social media marketing agencies follow, regardless of the platform, is consistency in publishing content. It’s essential to post videos, photos, or carousel posts regularly in order for the content to gain visibility.
How to choose the best US agency for your business?
Here are some steps to guide you in choosing the best agency for your business:
- Determine your target audience, social media platforms, goals, budget, and timeline
- Examine the agency’s credibility by looking at client testimonies, reviews, awards, and certifications
- Assess portfolios and case studies to verify that the agency’s familiarity with your market niche and type of content
- Narrow down your list to agencies that meet your requirements and send a request for proposal (RFP).
- Schedule interviews and inquire about expertise, processes, and ROI
- Select an agency that matches your brand persona, aligns with your values, and meets all your project needs
