Social media management in Lakeland
Updated September 22, 2026
Most social media managers schedule posts you still have to make. We make them. One shoot day a month at your place, then we cut, caption, schedule and post three times a week, and every lead lands on a board you can see. Lakeland is forty minutes up I-4 from us, an easy morning.

What does done-for-you social media management include?
The plan for the month, the shoot day, the editing, the captions, the scheduling, the posting, and the board where leads from the posts show up. Your part is a few hours on camera a month and approving cuts from your phone.
What it doesn't include is us pretending to be you in the comments. We'll tell you what to reply to. The replies are better in your voice.
How is this different from a freelance social media manager?
A freelancer at $300 to $1,000 a month (Boomp, 2026) is scheduling and captions. The videos are still your problem, and that's the part nobody gets to. WebFX's 2026 pricing guide puts social media management at $500 to $5,000 a month across the board. Ask what's in the number. If the answer doesn't include a camera showing up at your business, you're buying half the job.
How much time does it save me?
Picmim's May 2026 survey of small business owners found the average owner spends 6.3 hours a week on social media. That's most of a workday, every week, from the person whose time is worth the most in the building. With us that becomes one morning a month.
How does social media management work in Lakeland?
Lakeland is forty minutes up I-4 from us, an easy morning. Lakeland adds a small travel line, stated on the quote. Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow and Plant City, on the same terms. Plant City usually has no travel line at all.
Who we film in Lakeland: owner-run businesses downtown, gyms and coaches, brokers working the lakes and the new builds, and the event venues. The owner is the brand in every one of those, so the camera points at the owner and the business rides behind. The planning, editing, captions and posting run from Tampa either way, and you approve cuts from your phone in RSoperations.
Here's where I disagree with most Lakeland social media managers
Consistency is a volume game and a habit, not a mood. Three a week, every week, beats a burst and a gap, and the only way an owner hits that for a year is if the filming isn't on their to-do list. Manage the posting without making the videos and you've managed nothing.

What it costs
A monthly retainer starts at $1,000 a month for a solo expert or owner and $3,000 a month for a business building more than one person or brand. Both include the planning, a shoot day, the editing, the posting and RSoperations. Month to month, two rounds of revisions on every cut. Lakeland adds a small travel line, stated on the quote.
The full breakdown is on the pricing page. Book a call and we give you one number, not a menu.
Questions people ask first
- Which platforms?
- Instagram first for most of the businesses we work with, because that's where their leads come from. Once a cut exists, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube Shorts cost nothing extra to post to, so we do.
- Do I keep my login and my account?
- Yes. The accounts are yours. We post through a scheduler you can see, and RSoperations shows you what's queued.
- Can you manage social media for a business in Orlando or Sarasota?
- Yes, when there's a shoot day we can batch. The posting runs from Tampa. The filming is the drive. See the Orlando and Sarasota pages for how that works.
- Is there a travel charge for Lakeland?
- Lakeland adds a small travel line, stated on the quote. Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow and Plant City, on the same terms. Plant City usually has no travel line at all.
- How fast can you start in Lakeland?
- A planning call this week, then the first shoot usually inside two weeks. We plan the shoot day tighter than usual, because we're not coming back on Thursday for the thing we missed.
