What does social media marketing cost?

Social media marketing costs vary based on scope, platform mix, content volume, and whether paid media management is included. Retainer-based agency engagements for organic content management typically range from INR 25,000 to INR 1,50,000 per month depending on the number of platforms, post frequency, and content complexity. Full-service programs including paid media management add media buying fees or a percentage of ad spend on top.

For paid advertising, minimum effective budgets depend on the platform and objective. LinkedIn Ads require higher minimum budgets (typically USD 10 to 15 per day minimum) due to higher CPCs in the B2B segment. Meta Ads can deliver meaningful test data from INR 15,000 to 30,000 per month for focused campaigns. Budget should be planned as a combination of agency fees and direct ad spend, with each component evaluated against the KPIs they are expected to deliver.
