Are your social media efforts falling short of expectations? Now more than ever, social media is a “pay-to-play” environment requiring all the resources you have: a cohesive game plan, 100 percent commitment and a well-defined budget. On top of organic outreach, getting content in front of your target audience can be challenging without shelling out advertising money, whether for an ongoing campaign or a once-off sponsored post.
To maximize your online presence, Lyph Marketing Agency weaves social media management services into your overall marketing strategy. The right Facebook or Instagram management service can attract, nurture and convert followers into loyal customers. The social media management campaigns our team has implemented and overseen for our small business, enterprise or franchise clients are a testament to that.
What Is Social Media Management?
Custom Strategies That Promote Stellar Customer Engagement
As social media evolves, market players maintain each channel’s core purpose: the trifecta of connection, communication and community. Sprout Social data showed that 57 percent of consumers will follow a brand’s social page to learn about new products or services. It’s why brands should make sure they’re posting content that satisfies connection and engages in communication while building community – instead of posting promotions for users without any thought.
Enter social media management. Sometimes called social media marketing management, it is a branch of social media marketing (SMM) that covers planning, crafting and publishing content on social platforms. It involves regular social profile audits and audience research, which are essential to rolling out relevant content.

Integrated Processes for Maximum Impact
Social media marketing entails more integrated processes to ensure an interconnectedness between your customer,
your content and your company. Simply sharing links to your content or web pages on your
social channels is not enough if you hope to achieve results for your social media activities.
Aside from fully understanding and learning the social media management definition by heart, you should master its major processes, too. This will assist you in better understanding how to leverage social media marketing to gain a competitive advantage and effectively bolster your entire marketing strategy.
Here’s what your social media management game plan must include:
Strategy Creation:
the map or plan containing your social media goals, steps to achieve them, a corresponding timeline and metrics to track progress The social media management definition isn't complete without a mention of strategy. It's the master plan, and it helps you visualize what business social media management looks like for you. Some major factors to consider are which platforms to capitalize on, who your audience is, what types of content to produce, what key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure and which social media management software to use.
Inbound Engagement Monitoring:
the process of responding to comments, questions and interactions with all social media content and profiles and continuing conversation initiated by fans Studies show that an average of two-thirds of consumers desire a connection with brands. It makes sense, then, to strive to facilitate two-way communication every chance you get. This is true for all of your social platforms, even when you're deploying Instagram management services or exploring TikTok management solutions using mostly video content.
Analytics Monitoring:
the gathering and checking of data against metrics to ensure the accomplishment of results Let data drive your corporate, multi-location business or franchise social media management campaigns. You can monitor important metrics on your chosen platforms, such as engagement metrics (likes, shares and comments), impressions and click-through rates (for targeted social ads).
