Account audit and strategy
We review your profiles, past content, competitors and audience. A written strategy then sets out which platform serves which business goal, and which one we put on hold for now.
Services /07
Our social media management services run your accounts end to end on a monthly content calendar, a clear brand voice and measurable goals. Talha Aslan sets the strategy; an experienced team handles content production, design, video editing, community management and reporting. We plan growth through content, community and ads; your accounts stay yours, and we never ask for passwords.
Scope
The short answer: social media management covers strategy, a monthly content calendar, design and short video, publishing, comment and message management, and a monthly report. The fee depends on the number of platforms, content volume and the share of video; you pay any ad budget to the platform directly. What we commit to is not a follower count but steady publishing, transparent measurement and a plan that improves every month.
We review your profiles, past content, competitors and audience. A written strategy then sets out which platform serves which business goal, and which one we put on hold for now.
You see each month’s posts with date, format, copy and purpose before the month starts. Content pillars follow your goals, and we turn your brand voice into written rules.
Our team prepares brand templates, post visuals and Reels or TikTok edits. Music comes from licensed or royalty free libraries; if you need a studio shoot, we plan it separately.
We answer comments and messages during business hours, following the reply guide we write together. Complaints, returns and signs of a crisis reach you straight away, and personal data never goes into public replies.
Ad and partnership labels, giveaway rules, music licences, AI use and consent for customer photos: every post runs through a short checklist before it goes live.
The monthly report explains reach, saves, shares, profile visits and enquiries. When it makes sense, we back strong posts with paid social; the ad account stays yours and you pay the platform directly.
Approach
The most common problem in social media is an account run without a link to business goals: posts go out, but no bookings, messages or sales come in. So we always start with one question: what should this account do for your business? Bookings, messages, website visits or trust in your brand? We then measure success in saves, shares, messages and enquiries, not in follower count.
Once the answer is clear, the calendar, formats and tone follow from it. Every month we look at what people saved, what brought messages and what fell flat, and we drop formats that do not work instead of keeping them out of habit. We also check ad labels, giveaway rules, music licences and customer photos before anything goes live, because a brand account is subject to the law as much as it is fun.
We run the work under Talha Aslan’s lead with experienced team members: Talha Aslan owns the strategy and the outcome, while content production, design, video editing, community management and reporting sit with our team. Social media is not an island either. The page that greets visitors belongs to web design, visibility in search to SEO, and creator partnerships to influencer marketing; reading these pieces under one strategy is what turns social media into business.
Process
You send your profile links, and we clarify goals and scope in a free 15-minute call. With your approval, we review accounts, past content and competitors, then write a short status summary.
We settle platforms, content pillars, brand voice and the reply guide, and the first month’s calendar comes to you for approval. You add our team through official role settings; we never ask for passwords.
We produce the approved designs and videos, schedule them, and answer comments and messages by the guide. Every link to your website gets a UTM tag.
At the end of the month, a short report explains reach, engagement and enquiries, and next month’s plan changes accordingly. Where it helps, we plan paid support together.
Creator partnerships and production run under influencer marketing, search ads under Google Ads management, and the page that welcomes visitors from social media is a web design job.
Who it is for
From businesses that cannot post regularly to brands unhappy with their agency.

The logos come from social media, content and advertising work; not every brand is a social media management client, and none of them is a claim about follower or sales growth.
Send us your profile links. In a free 15-minute call we look at what works and what is missing; scope and fee follow in writing.
We tie your accounts to a plan, a brand voice and measurable goals. You see up front what is included and what sits outside the scope.
Anything outside this scope becomes a separate line item we agree on first. For shoots and creator partnerships, have a look at our influencer marketing page. We can also add paid social to the plan; you still pay the ad budget from your own account. That way you know from the start what you pay for. To pin down the scope, write to us.
Each model has situations where it is the right call. The table puts the questions clients ask most often side by side, and we looked critically at our own model too.
| Criterion | In-house social media manager | Social media agency | Talha Aslan & team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you talk to | One person next to you every day | Usually an account manager | Talha Aslan on strategy and accountability; a specialist team on delivery |
| Cost structure | Salary, benefits, software and training | Monthly retainer that grows with the team | Written monthly fee, itemised by scope |
| Knowing the brand | Lives the brand from the inside | Knowledge can get lost when staff change | Written brand voice, team and CRM records keep things consistent |
| Capacity | One person’s time and skills | Large team and heavy production | Specialist team, parallel workstreams for content, design, video and community |
| Account ownership | Naturally yours | Depends on the contract | Yours, with access through official roles |
| Strategy and measurement | Depends on the person | Often template reports | Social, website, SEO and ad data under one strategy |
If you need lots of daily, on-the-spot content, an in-house person may suit you better. For large multi-brand productions, an agency might. If you want strategy, structure and clear measurement, Talha Aslan and team combine specialist capacity with personal accountability.
We do not use a fixed price list for social media management services, because two brands rarely need the same thing. We first sketch the scope by monthly volume: 8-12, 12-20 or more than 20 posts a month. These factors then set the fee:
One Instagram account is a smaller job than three platforms. Each platform needs its own formats and tone.
Design-led and video-led calendars take very different amounts of production time.
Do we work with your existing photos and videos, or do we need on-site shoots?
A few messages a day is not the same as hundreds of comments. Reply hours matter too.
Content in English, German or Turkish means separate copy and checks for each language.
Ad setup and optimisation widen the scope. The ad budget itself goes to the platform.
If we build accounts, brand voice and templates from scratch, the first month is busier. Send us your profile links, and we clarify your needs in a free 15-minute call. After that, we send the scope and fee in writing. You can start on the contact page.
The flow below shows a typical start. Timing shifts with your industry and your accounts, so read it as a working plan rather than a promise.
You add our team through official role settings. We review profiles, past content and competitors, then write a short status summary.
We settle platforms, content pillars, voice and the reply guide. Then the first calendar comes to you for approval.
Approved posts go live, and we answer comments by the guide. We also add UTM tags to every website link.
We compare formats, topics and posting times. Then we do more of what works and change the rest.
We review three months of data together. After that, we set paid support and goals for the next quarter.
FAQ
Guide
Social media management services run a brand’s accounts on a strategy, a monthly content calendar and measurable goals. The work covers research, content planning, design and short video, publishing, replies and a monthly report. What is possible: turning your accounts into a consistent channel that builds trust and brings enquiries. What is not possible: controlling the algorithm or guaranteeing a number of followers. That is why we commit to steady publishing and transparent measurement instead.
Our way of working is clear. Talha Aslan sets the strategy, and experienced team members handle content production, design, video editing, community management and reporting. First, we review your accounts and competitors. Then we send each month’s calendar for your approval. After that, we publish the approved posts and answer comments by the rules we agree. At the end of the month, we show you in numbers what worked. Your accounts stay yours, because we get access through official role settings instead of passwords.
Some work belongs to our other services:
You do not have to be everywhere. The platforms where your customers spend time, and which you can feed consistently, are enough. In fact, three half-abandoned accounts look worse than one account that runs well. That is why we start platform choice with the audience; our target audience analysis guide shows how.
These are the pairings we set up most often:
We ask three questions before deciding. Are your customers there? Can you produce that platform’s format regularly? Do you have a page or a message flow ready for the interest it creates? If you cannot say yes to all three, put that platform on hold for now. As a result, you protect both your time and your budget. For a new brand, one early job is securing the same username or page address on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. If yours is taken, our Instagram username claim service pursues it through legal routes.
The platforms’ own explanations put the idea of one secret algorithm to rest. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, explains in an official post that Feed, Stories, Explore and Reels each use their own ranking. In Feed, the main signals are your activity, the post itself, the person who posted and your shared history. In Reels, however, the key predictions include reshares, watching to the end and likes.
Two notes from that post matter most in our daily work. First, Instagram aims to show watermarked, low resolution, muted or recycled reels less. Second, the platform says it does not suppress organic content to sell ads. Likewise, TikTok states that follower count is not a direct factor in its recommendations. Instead, interactions such as watch time generally carry more weight.
So how often should you post? No platform publishes one official number that fits everyone. In practice, our advice is to pick a rhythm you can sustain without cutting quality. Meta’s spam policy also notes that posting at very high frequencies can count as spam. Therefore we plan the calendar around your team’s capacity. Then we track results with the Instagram engagement rate calculator and the monthly report.
We prepare the calendar before the month starts and send it for your approval. It is not a random list of posts; instead, it rests on a few content pillars tied to your goals. For example, a dental clinic might use treatment explainers, team clips, common questions and practical notes on opening hours and booking. Healthcare accounts keep this informative, because advertising rules for clinics are stricter in most countries.
Each calendar includes the following:
We keep approvals in one place. You comment post by post, and our team works in the revisions before the publishing date. A written brand voice also shortens the approval rounds; our brand voice guide helps with that. For hashtags, the hashtag generator gives you ideas. However, we recommend keeping tags few and relevant.
The calendar pays off after publishing as well. At the end of the month, we put it next to the results. Specifically, we check which pillar people saved and which one brought messages. Then we shift next month’s mix accordingly.
Community management is the most neglected part of social media. An unanswered price question is a lost customer. Meanwhile, the wrong reply to an angry comment makes a crisis bigger. That is why we write a reply guide together before we start:
Once we hit the threshold, we first pause the calendar. Together we then prepare one clear, consistent statement. Our guide on how to handle a social media crisis walks through these steps. Negative reviews also build up on your Google Business Profile, not just on Instagram. Through our Google review removal service, we report the ones that break Google’s rules via official channels and follow each case to a decision.
Personal data needs care too. A customer’s phone number, order details or health information never goes into a public reply. Instead, we move the conversation to a private message or a call. Before you share a recognisable photo of a customer, get their written consent. In the EU, consent is usually the safest legal basis for that, and our GDPR guide explains the basics.
Organic posting builds trust with existing followers and lets you test content before you spend money on it. However, reaching new audiences quickly and predictably usually takes ads. Instagram says it does not hold back organic reach to sell ads. Still, no platform promises anyone a specific reach.
So we plan both channels together. A post that performs well organically is the first candidate for an ad test. We recommend paid social especially in these cases:
We open the ad account inside your own business portfolio, and you pay the platform directly. Our guide on calculating a social media advertising budget helps you set the amount. In addition, organic growth or paid ads compares the two routes. If the page that greets ad visitors is weak, the results stay weak too. That is why we build that page on the web design side.
Social media is creative work, but it also touches the law. That is why every post in the calendar goes through our checklist before it goes live:
We cover partnership disclosure in more depth on our influencer marketing page. When a legal step is needed, we manage the process from start to finish with the support of the lawyers we work with.
Giveaways bring engagement quickly, but people also get them wrong more often than any other campaign. Above all, the rules differ by country. In Turkey, non-cash prize draws generally need permission from the National Lottery Administration. Moreover, the regulation expects the application at least fifteen days before the campaign starts. In the UK, the CAP Code has a dedicated section on promotional marketing, including prize draws. Therefore we plan the timeline around the rules of every country where people can enter.
The platform adds its own rules on top. Instagram’s promotion guidelines require the following:
Meta’s spam policy also bans giveaways that offer cash or cash equivalents for likes or follows. It also bans offering anything of monetary value in exchange for engagement. In practice, we write clear entry rules. They name the organiser, entry period, prize and how you pick and contact the winner. We also keep winner data only as long as you need it.
For the draw itself, our giveaway picker selects winners and backups at random in your browser. It supports a fair draw, but it does not replace any permission your country requires.
When you part ways with an agency, the biggest risk is unclear ownership of your accounts. First, check in your Meta business settings which business portfolio owns your Facebook Page and Instagram account. If the agency’s portfolio owns them, ask the agency to remove them from its portfolio, then add them to your own. Ad account ownership, however, cannot move between portfolios. So the agency can give you partner access, or you open a new ad account in your own portfolio and attach your payment method there.
Then work through these steps:
In a new contract, look for these points: accounts and business portfolio in your name, ad spend going from your card straight to the platform, term and notice period, and the files you receive at the end. With us, the accounts stay yours from day one, and we handle the handover together in the first two weeks. If your visual identity is not settled yet, start with brand identity work first.
The first month is mostly setup: audit, strategy, templates and the first calendar. To see the effect of steady publishing, you usually need at least three months of data. This is not a guarantee but a realistic frame from our experience. That said, your industry, starting point and budget all shift the timeline.
We do not judge success by follower count alone. Instead, the monthly report answers these questions:
We tag every website link with the UTM builder. As a result, you see social media enquiries separately in Google Analytics. Our guide to digital marketing KPIs explains which metrics matter.
