How Much Does Social Media Management Cost in Kelowna?

It is the first question every business owner asks, and the hardest one to get a straight answer to: what does it cost to have someone run my social media? Ask around Kelowna and the numbers are all over the place, from a couple hundred dollars a month to a few thousand. Both are legitimate quotes. The gap comes down to what you are buying, so here is how to read it.

Why the range is so wide

Social media management is not one service. On the low end, someone designs a few graphics and hands them to you to post. In the middle, someone runs the whole account for you: posting, captions, replies, and a plan. On the high end, someone also comes to your business, films it, and turns that footage into a steady stream of reels. Those are three different amounts of work, so they are three different prices. When a quote sounds cheap, the first thing to check is whether anyone is creating content, or just scheduling it.

The two things you are paying for

Every social package is a mix of two things: management and content. Management is the account being run, messages answered, posts scheduled at the right times, your Google Business Profile kept current. It is steady work but it is not expensive on its own. Content is the other half, and it is where the cost lives. Original photo and video of your business is what stops the scroll and what the platforms reward. It also takes a full day to shoot and edit. A package that includes filming will always cost more than one that recycles stock images or graphics, because someone is physically showing up.

What each level costs in the Okanagan

Here is how published local pricing breaks down. Light posting starts around $350 a month. Okanagan Branding Co. lists $899 for nine Facebook and Instagram posts with engagement, while its 12-post plan is $1,399. SOSH starts at $1,200 for 12 Instagram posts and a one-hour monthly content session, with other platforms and community management available as add-ons. Full on-location management starts around $1,800 at MAD Social, while TML lists $2,200 for single-platform management and $6,800 or more for full-stack work. The scopes are not identical, which is why comparing the deliverables matters more than comparing one headline number.

What I charge and why

I run social three ways, and the full breakdown is on the packages page. Managed starts at $1,200 a month and runs Facebook, Instagram, and Google from photos you already have, with daily community management and local SEO. Managed + Content starts at $2,950 and adds a half-day photo and video shoot every month, two reels a week, a strategy call, review generation, and an SEO article. Full starts at $5,500 and adds a second half-day content session, TikTok, Google and Meta ads management, and deeper SEO. I shoot on my iPhone, and a professional photo or film shoot is available when the job needs it. The value is the complete execution: I shoot it, edit it, post it, manage the accounts, and answer for the result.
