Social Media Marketing & Management in India

Indian social media management packages fall into three bands, and the number of reels is what moves a business from one band to the next. Entry packages with 8 to 12 designed posts and 1 to 4 reels typically cost ₹15,000 to ₹40,000 per month. Mid packages with 12 to 20 posts and 4 to 8 reels run ₹40,000 to ₹90,000. Full-service management with shoots, community management and paid social sits between ₹70,000 and ₹1,80,000 per month. Freelancers charge less than all three bands and often deliver templates with your logo swapped in.

Mediaverse Digital publishes three plans against those bands. Social Presence is ₹30,000 per month (about $600) for 2 platforms, 12 posts and 4 reels edited from your footage. Social Growth is ₹55,000 (about $1,100) for 3 platforms, 16 posts, 8 reels and a half-day shoot each month. Social Brand is ₹1,00,000 (about $2,000) for 4 platforms, 20 posts, 12 reels, a full shoot day and managed paid social. GST is added for Indian clients. Boost and ad budgets are paid by you from your own ad account and are never part of the fee.

Two things are deliberately missing from those prices: a setup fee, because cleaning up bios and Business Suite access is an afternoon of work, and a minimum term beyond the first month. When you compare any Indian quote, check whether reels are shot or only edited, whether replies to comments and DMs are included, and whether the report names enquiries or only reach.

The work is a monthly loop that starts before the month does. By the 25th you receive next month's calendar with every post, reel and story drafted against 3 to 5 content pillars agreed in onboarding: offers, proof such as customer stories or process footage, education, and the personality of the business. You approve, edit or reject in the shared board. By the 28th everything approved is designed and scheduled, so the first week of the month is never a scramble.

During the month the job shifts to attention. Comments and DMs are answered inside business hours and enquiries move to your sales channel within the hour. Every fortnight we look at what the platform is rewarding, swap the format that underperformed and add one more of the format that worked. At month end you get a written report that leads with profile visits, link clicks, saves and enquiries, and a call on Growth and Brand plans to set next month's pillars.

A reel needs footage, a hook, an edit, captions and sound, which is 3 to 5 times the labour of a static post. Indian production houses typically charge ₹5,000 to ₹20,000 per short vertical video, so an agency promising 12 reels a month for ₹20,000 is either recycling stock footage or not making 12 reels. Reels are also the format the platforms push furthest beyond your followers, so cutting them cuts the part that grows the account.

We keep reels affordable by batching. On Social Presence you shoot on a phone from a shot list we send with the calendar, and we edit 4 reels a month from that footage. On Social Growth a half-day shoot each month produces 8 reels plus stills for the static posts, and on Social Brand a full day covers 12 reels, stories and photography. Shoots happen in person across Bangalore or are remote-directed over video for clients elsewhere in India and in the US, UK and UAE.

The creative discipline comes from the parent business. The Mediaverse designs creatives that run on auto rickshaws and hoardings for 500+ brands across 50+ Indian cities, where a message has about 2 seconds to land on a moving street. The first 2 seconds of a reel are the same problem: one idea, big and legible, before the thumb moves on. Every hook is tested against that before it goes in the calendar.

It is common for an agency to create the Facebook page, the Meta Business Manager or even the Instagram handle under its own login. It feels convenient until the relationship ends and you discover you are not the admin of your own page and the ad history sits in someone else's Business Manager. We set up or transfer everything so that you are the owner and admin, and we work as an editor or partner with the permissions the plan needs and nothing more.

The same applies to the work itself. Raw footage, edited reels, design source files and the caption bank are delivered to your Drive every month, and the content calendar lives in a workspace you control. If you stop the plan with 15 days notice, scheduled posts still go out, the files are already yours and a one-page handover lists every login and role. That is what makes month-to-month terms honest rather than a marketing line.
