Social media marketing services that turn followers into enquiries

What social media marketing services include

Social media marketing services cover the planning, content, replies and reporting that turn your business’s social accounts into a steady source of enquiries. A complete service has six parts, and each one depends on the others.

• Strategy and content calendar: a monthly plan built around what you want to sell, with launches, festivals and seasonal demand marked in advance.
• Short-form video: hooks, scripts and shot lists for Reels and YouTube Shorts that you can film on a phone, followed by editing, captions and on-screen text.
• Design: carousels, static posts and story frames that explain your offer clearly and look like one brand.
• Community management: replying to comments and DMs, answering common questions and passing serious buyers to your team quickly.
• Profile optimisation: bio, highlights, links, contact buttons and pinned posts that tell a new visitor what you do and how to enquire.
• Insights: a monthly look at reach, watch time, saves, DMs and enquiries, with changes for next month.

Paid boosting is optional, for posts that already perform well on their own.

What social media services should not include: bought followers or likes, engagement groups, follow-and-unfollow automation, or the same template posts sold to every client with the logo changed. Platforms act against inauthentic activity, and an audience built this way rarely buys.

A few free tools help with the day-to-day: the ad creative resizer turns one design into every Meta and LinkedIn size, the image compressor shrinks photos before you upload them, and the WhatsApp link generator makes a click-to-chat link for your bio.

Social media marketing vs social media management

Social media management is the day-to-day running of your accounts, and social media marketing is the plan that decides what those accounts should achieve. You need both, and many businesses only pay for the first.

Social media management services handle the routine. That means scheduling posts, moderating comments, replying to DMs and keeping profiles up to date.

Social media marketing adds direction. It decides which offers to push, which platforms deserve the effort and when to boost a post. It also tracks where leads come from, so the calendar gets better every month.

A business that only buys management usually ends up with a busy page and flat sales. A business that only buys strategy ends up with a plan nobody runs. Our plans cover both, with one team doing the posting, the replies and the reporting.

How social media marketing services are priced

The cost of social media marketing services in India depends on how many platforms you need, how much content goes out each month and how many conversations need replies. A local salon on Instagram needs far less work than a national brand on four platforms. The main factors are:

• Platforms: each platform needs its own formats, captions and community work, even when content is reused.
• Content volume and mix: Reels and Shorts take more time to script and edit than static posts.
• Community management: how many comments and DMs you receive, and the hours you want covered.
• Starting point: a new account with no profile, branding or past content needs more set-up than an active one.
• Paid boosting: boost budgets are paid to the platform and are separate from the cost of managing your accounts.

Be careful with packages that sell a fixed number of posts at a very low price. The posts are often generic templates, the replies are left to you and nobody tracks enquiries. Every free growth audit from 93Digital ends with a fixed monthly quote, so you know the cost and the work before you commit.

How long does social media marketing take to work?

Social media marketing usually shows early results in the first month and steadier enquiries after around three months of consistent posting and replies. A typical timeline looks like this:

1. Weeks 1 to 2: profile fixes and faster replies to comments and DMs. These are the quickest wins, because they help the people already visiting your page.
2. Month 1: the first calendar goes live, with scripted Reels, carousels and posts tied to your offers.
3. Months 2 to 3: insights show which hooks, topics and formats hold attention and bring DMs. The calendar shifts towards what works.
4. Month 3 onward: the account builds a library of content that keeps working, and the best posts can be boosted to reach more buyers.

Consistency matters more than volume. If you need leads this week, run paid ads alongside organic social and adjust the budget as the account grows.

Which platforms should your business be on?

Your business should be on the one or two platforms where your buyers already spend time, done properly, before you add more. For most consumer businesses in India, that starts with Instagram.

Instagram

Instagram suits clinics, salons, restaurants, real estate, coaching and D2C brands. Reels help new people find you, carousels explain your offer, stories keep regular customers close and DMs are where most enquiries start. Most of the work of an Instagram marketing agency sits here: strong hooks, clear scripts, tidy editing and fast replies.

Facebook

Facebook still works for local services, where customers look up businesses, read recommendations and send messages. Facebook and Instagram can be managed together in Meta Business Suite, so one calendar and one inbox can cover both.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn suits B2B, SaaS, consulting, manufacturing and professional services. Buyers there respond to people as much as to brands, so we draft posts for founders and leaders as well as the company page.

YouTube Shorts

YouTube Shorts lets you reuse the vertical footage you film for Reels and reach a different audience. YouTube is also a search engine, so Shorts with clear titles and descriptions can be found by people looking for answers in your field.

Your audit will show which platforms to start with.

Platform choice changes by industry. See how we use Instagram and Pinterest for interior designers, admission-season content for schools and project launches for real estate developers.

How to choose a social media marketing agency in India

The right social media marketing agency can show how its work leads to enquiries and is open about who does what. These questions will tell you more than any portfolio of good-looking posts:

• How will you track enquiries? Ask how DMs, calls and WhatsApp messages from social will be counted.
• Who replies to comments and DMs, and when? Agree the hours, the tone and how hot leads reach your team.
• Who films the videos? We write the scripts and shot lists and edit what you film. Other agencies work differently, so make sure the plan fits your time and budget.
• Who owns the accounts? Your pages, channels and ad accounts should stay in your business’s name. The agency should work through access you grant, which you can remove at any time.
• How do you decide what to post? A good answer starts with your offers, your customers and the questions they ask before buying.

Red flags include promises of a set number of followers, offers to grow your account with bought engagement, requests for your password instead of proper partner access, and sample work that looks identical across every client.

A simple test: ask the agency to name three changes they would make to your profile and content before you pay anything. Our free growth audit ends with a 30-minute call built around exactly that, plus a fixed monthly quote.

The 80/20 of social media for small businesses

For most small businesses, a handful of habits bring most of the enquiries from social media: a clear profile, fast replies and regular short videos about what you actually sell. Get these right before you worry about trends or posting every day.

• Your bio says what you do, where you serve and how to enquire, with a working contact button or link.
• Highlights answer the questions people DM about most, such as prices, location, timings and process.
• Every DM and comment that asks about buying gets a reply within working hours.
• Each Reel or Short opens with a hook in the first seconds that gives viewers a reason to keep watching.
• Most of your posts connect to a product, service or offer someone can enquire about today.
• Once a month, you check which posts produced DMs and enquiries, and make more like them.

That is also where our social media plans start. Fix the profile, answer every buyer quickly, post content that sells and measure the enquiries. Only then do we add more platforms or budget.
