social media management for small businesses

Upgrade Your Social Media Presence!

THE 31 SOCIAL CO. APPROACH

Your business doesn’t need more random content. It needs a reason behind what you’re posting.

I started 31 Social Co. because I genuinely enjoy figuring out what makes a business different and finding the best way to bring that online. Every client has a different audience, personality, and goal, so I don’t believe in handing everyone the same content plan and calling it strategy.

I take the time to learn your business, research your industry, see what people are actually responding to, and build a plan around what makes sense for you. From there, I handle the planning, scripting, editing, and management so your social media feels consistent without becoming another job on your list.

I’ve worked with businesses across a variety of industries, from retail and restaurants to healthcare, professional services, and local organizations. That experience has taught me that there isn’t one formula that works for everyone.

The goal is simple: create content that feels like your business, reaches the right people, and gives them a reason to remember you.

how it works

1. research

Before I start building your content, I learn your business.

I research your industry, competitors, audience and current social media presence so I can see what’s working, what’s missing and where there’s room for your business to stand out.

We’re not guessing.

We’re building from actual information.

2. Plan + Script

Once we know the direction, I build your content plan.

That includes deciding what we should talk about, which services need more visibility and what type of content makes sense for your audience.

For video, I can also provide:

• Hooks
• Scripts
• Talking points
• Shot lists
• B-roll ideas
• POV concepts
• Behind-the-scenes ideas

You’ll know what we need before filming starts.

3. FILM + EDIT

You provide the photos, videos and media from inside your business.

I give you direction on what to capture so you’re not left guessing.

Depending on your management plan, in-person filming and photography assistance may also be available for local clients.

Once I have the assets, I handle the editing.

That means turning raw footage into finished Reels, TikToks, graphics, carousels and other content that feels like your business.

4. post

Once everything is ready, I handle scheduling and publishing across the platforms included in your plan.

From there, I watch how the content is performing, including reach, engagement, profile activity and incoming inquiries.

Then we use what we learn to make the next round of content stronger.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT pLANS

Every business doesn’t need the same amount of content.

Some businesses need a consistent three-post-per-week presence.

Others need frequent short-form video and a more aggressive approach to visibility.

That’s why 31 Social Co offers different management plans based on how often you want to show up, what kind of content your business needs and how much support you’re looking for.

Management plans currently begin at $695/month.

FAQs

  • Social media is where your customers spend their time and make decisions. More than 5 billion people use social media worldwide.

    A large majority of consumers use social platforms to discover and research products before buying.

    Social media also strongly influences purchasing behavior, with a significant portion of consumers making purchases through social platforms each month.

    In short, an active social presence helps your business get discovered, build trust, and convert people into customers.

  • I handle research, scripting, editing, and posting. Your only responsibility is filming. For most clients, filming averages about four hours per month, though timing varies by business.

    For Indiana-based business owners, in-person content sessions can be included in my service.

  • I work with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X (formerly Twitter). While content can be adapted across platforms, Instagram is the primary focus. At this time, it offers the strongest opportunity for business owners to grow, build authority, and convert an audience into customers.

  • Results vary from business to business. Factors like your niche, target audience, and posting consistency all influence how quickly growth happens.

    Success on social media isn’t about overnight wins. It’s about building a strong personal brand that attracts the right audience, creates trust, and supports long-term business growth. When done correctly, organic social media leads to stronger brand awareness, increased authority, and a loyal audience made up of ideal customers.

    Compared to paid marketing, organic social media may feel slower at first. But the results are more sustainable and far more valuable over time. It requires patience, strategy, and consistency. That’s exactly why it works. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

  • Results begin once content starts going live. The initial phase, which includes strategy, research, scripting, filming, and editing, typically takes about three weeks. Once posting begins, momentum and performance start to build from there.

  • Shorts (Video Content)
    Shorts are short-form videos designed to increase reach and visibility. They perform well with platform algorithms and are ideal for storytelling, education, behind-the-scenes content, and building personal connection. Shorts help attract new audiences and drive growth.

    Static Posts (Single Images or Graphics)
    Static posts are single images or graphics used to communicate clear, focused messages. They work well for announcements, branding, promotions, social proof, and quick value-driven content. Static posts support brand consistency and visual identity.

    Carousels (Multi-Slide Posts)
    Carousels allow you to share more information across multiple slides. They are ideal for educational content, step-by-step breakdowns, tips, and storytelling. Carousels encourage longer engagement and are effective for building authority and trust.

  • This service is designed for business owners who are serious about growing and selling through social media and are ready to commit to a proven growth system. It requires consistency, trust in the process, and an investment in strategy that works. If you’re ready to commit, book a call. If you’re not prepared to invest or follow through, this is not the right fit.
