What changes the price for marketing & social media
- One-off set-up or ongoing work. Setting up an ads account or a posting schedule is a fixed job. Running it every month is a retainer, and most of the value is in the ongoing changes.
- Who creates the content. Scheduling posts you supply is quick. Writing captions, shooting photos or editing video for each post multiplies the time.
- Number of platforms. Each platform has its own formats and audience. Three platforms is close to three times the work of one, not a small add-on.
- Reporting. A short monthly summary is usually included. A detailed report with tracking set up properly in your analytics is a job in itself.
What is usually included
- The agreed set-up or posts
- Basic targeting and scheduling
- A short summary of what was done
And what is usually not
- Ad spend, which you pay to the platform directly
- Paid tools and subscriptions
- Photography, video and design, unless quoted
- Guaranteed rankings or sales, which no one can honestly promise
The one thing that saves the most money
Keep every ads account, social account and analytics property in your own name and give the tasker access as a user. If the work ends, you keep the account, the history and the audiences you paid to build.

Common questions
How much does marketing help cost in the UK?
£50 to £400 for most jobs, with a median of £225. Typical prices for marketing & social media in the UK, from current UK market rates. Post your task to get exact fixed-price offers.
What makes marketing help more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
