- Content Creation: Whether graphics, video, or simple text are included.
- Community Management: Responding to comments, DMs, and moderating engagement.
- Reporting & Strategy: Monthly analytics, strategy calls, and content planning add value.
- Ads Management: If “boosted posts” or ads are part of the package, costs rise.
- Account Management: A Dedicated account manager means more hands-on service.
- Experience & Reputation: Agencies or experienced SMMs charge more than beginners.
- Location: Agencies in Lagos or Abuja may have higher fees due to the cost of operations.
