What it covers

The six pillars of social media management.

Good social media management is more than scheduling. These are the recurring jobs a local business actually needs done.

Content creation

Captions, photo selection, and short-form video drafts in your voice.

Scheduling

One queue across every channel, with optimal posting times learned over time.

Community management

DMs, comments and mentions answered fast — drafted in 60 seconds.

Reviews & reputation

Positive reviews replied to. Negative ones flagged so you read them first.

Booking ops

Confirmations, day-before reminders, and post-visit thank-yous.

Reporting

Plain-English weekly recap. No vanity metrics, just what changed.

Questions

Social media management — explained.

What does social media management include?
Typically: strategy, content creation, scheduling, community management (replies and DMs), reporting, and reputation management (reviews). Scroll Ready covers all six for a flat monthly fee.
How much does social media management cost?
A freelancer is usually $1,200–$3,000/month for one or two channels. An agency starts at $4,000/month. Scroll Ready is $119/month for software-only or $349/month for a fully-managed service across every channel.
Do small businesses really need social media management?
If your customers find you locally — café, salon, gym, clinic, tradie, boutique — yes. Reviews and DMs drive walk-ins. A neglected feed signals a closed business. Consistent posting and fast replies move the needle.
Can I manage social media myself with software?
Yes, and many owners do. Scroll Ready's Toolkit plan ($119/month) is built for that — drafts, queue, inbox, reporting — without the managed team. Upgrade to Autopilot whenever your week gets busier.
How is Scroll Ready different from Hootsuite or Buffer?
Hootsuite and Buffer are scheduling tools. You still write everything yourself. Scroll Ready writes, replies, reports, and handles bookings — software plus a managed service, not just a calendar.
