Why the range is so wide.
This is our reading of it, not a published rule.
- Platforms and posts. One platform with a dozen posts is a different job from four platforms with video every week.
- Video. Short video takes more planning, filming and editing than an image post, and usually moves the price more than anything else.
- Language. Arabic and English posts are two sets of writing, not one set translated.
- Community management. Answering comments and messages every day is work, and is not always in the price.
- Paid ads. Boosting posts and running ads is usually priced apart from the posting, and the ad spend is separate again.
What ours includes.
- From AED 1,800 a month for planning, posting and reporting, plus VAT where it applies.
- A fixed monthly fee agreed on a free call, month to month.
- A plan: which platforms, how often, and what each post is for.
- Every post drafted for your approval, then scheduled and published once you say yes.
- A read of what is working for your competitors, compared with each account's own usual performance.
- A monthly report of what worked and what changes next.
The number of platforms and posts is agreed on the call before the fee is fixed. Anything beyond that plan, such as shoots or influencer work, is quoted before it starts. More on the service: Social media marketing and management in Dubai.
Questions.
How much does social media management cost in Dubai?
Dubai companies publish prices from about AED 2,000 to AED 15,000 a month for most businesses, and more for large brands. Ours starts at AED 1,800 a month for planning, posting and reporting plus VAT where it applies, a fixed fee agreed on your free call.
What does a low social media price usually include?
One company's entry tier lists 8-12 static posts a month, basic template design, pre-scheduled posting and a basic monthly performance summary. Check how many platforms, how many posts and whether replies to comments are in the price.
Is social media management the same as running ads?
No. Management is planning, writing and posting. Ads are paid reach, with their own fee and their own spend. Ask whether a quote includes either.
Do I need to be on every platform?
No. Start where your customers are, and add a platform only when the first is working. A plan that spreads a small budget over five platforms usually does none of them well.
Who owns the accounts?
You do. We work inside your accounts, and everything we make stays yours if you stop.
