Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

A social media marketing company can help you turn audience engagement into brand awareness, qualified leads, sales, and customer loyalty.
They achieve this by developing data-backed strategies, producing brand-aligned, channel-optimized content, practicing social listening, and actively managing social media communities.
Social media marketing agencies can also help you expand brand reach and establish credibility through strategic partnerships with relevant influencers and creators.
All of these can result in measurable business value.
According to the Rise at Seven study, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram collectively account for 60% of commercial intent keywords, whereas Google only captures 34.5%.
This data highlights that customers are increasingly turning to social media to search for products and brands.
SproutSocial also found that 81% of consumers are compelled to make multiple purchases a year due to social media. Additionally, 73% are more likely to buy from a competitor if a brand does not reply to their social media messages.
Social media marketing costs start at $5,000 for small businesses implementing a single-platform social media strategy. However, prices can exceed $20,000 for a global multi-platform campaign with paid ad strategies.
The actual cost of social media services will depend on your goals, content type and volume, target platforms, and campaign complexity.
For instance, a social SEO strategy generally costs less than an influencer campaign due to talent fee considerations.
However, social media marketing companies often package their services for a more comprehensive offering. Below are approximate prices:
| Average Hourly Rates | Monthly Retainer | |
| Boutique agencies | $100-$125 | $5,000-$10,000 |
| Mid-sized agencies | $125-$175 | $10,000-$20,000 |
| Enterprise/global agencies | $175-$200+ | $20,000-$100,000+ |
Follow these steps to choose a social media marketing agency that is experienced, reliable, and the right fit for your business:
Before hiring a social media marketing agency, ask these questions to assess its experience, process, and fit for your goals, audience, and target platforms:
Watch for these red flags when evaluating a social media marketing agency. They may signal a poor fit, weak execution, or practices that could damage your brand reputation over time.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding social media marketing agencies.

Social media marketing companies provide a comprehensive range of services that span strategy development, content creation, and optimization. Here are some of their core services:
Some companies also offer broader digital marketing services, including search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, email marketing, video marketing, public relations (PR), and landing page optimization.
For business-to-business (B2B) organizations, LinkedIn is often a top priority, while X may also be useful, depending on your industry and whether real-time conversations matter to your brand.
For business-to-consumer (B2C) brands targeting younger consumers, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are often stronger options.
According to the Pew Research Center, 95% of 18-29-year-olds use YouTube, followed by Instagram at 80% and TikTok at 63%.
A reputable social media marketing company should recommend a channel mix based on your goals, target audience behavior, and the type of content you can produce consistently.
Partner with a content creator for asset creation. Conversely, choose an influencer for the audience. Here are more details about the differences between each to help you with your decision:
| Content Creator | Influencer | |
| Who are they? | Experts in their specific field who create engaging and educational content for a specific topic, niche, or format | Individuals with an established audience who can shape opinions and promote brands, products, or ideas |
| Content examples |

To measure the return on investment of your social media efforts, first clarify the business outcome you want to achieve with your social media campaign. For example, generating leads, sales, or demo requests.
Next, track key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to that goal, such as engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, cost per lead, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Use attribution models, analytics tools, and UTM parameters to connect social activities to business results.
Industry benchmarks can provide helpful context, but they vary by platform, industry, and methodology. Here are benchmarks from an Emplifi research report to help you gauge campaign performance:
Paid social campaigns generate results within a few days or weeks, but organic social media may take at least 3 months.
For organic social media, you might see initial follower growth and engagement within the first few weeks of regular posting. After 1-3 months, your account may gain traction as content performance improves, and audience engagement becomes more consistent.
By months 3-6, you may start producing qualified leads, stronger brand recall, and sales impact, especially for newer brands that are still building and refining their strategies.
Paid media campaigns, by contrast, can generate visibility, traffic, and conversions within days or weeks, but long-term performance will depend on creative quality, targeting, budget, and optimization efforts.
Ultimately, the time required to see meaningful results depends on your brand awareness, content quality, posting consistency, audience targeting, offer strength, and your broader marketing strategy.
