Social Media Management Services for Twin Cities Small Businesses
Updated: • By Moon & Marrow
What Happens When Social Media Isn’t Managed Well
Inconsistent posting or off-brand content sends the wrong signal. Customers forget you, competitors fill the gap, and your online presence starts to feel stale. Without engagement, even the best products and services fade into the scroll.
The truth is, your social media is often the first place potential customers check. When it’s neglected, it costs you opportunities.
Why Social Media Matters for Small Businesses
54% of customers use social media to research local businesses before buying.
Consistent posting builds trust and brand recall.
Engagement creates loyal customers who refer and return.
When done right, social media keeps your business top of mind and establishes credibility in your community.
What’s Included in Our Social Media Management
Content Strategy
We start by learning your brand voice, goals, and audience. Then we build a content strategy that makes sure every post serves a purpose—whether it’s engagement, education, or sales.
Done-for-You Posting
We create captions, visuals, and a posting schedule that keeps your accounts active without you lifting a finger. No more scrambling for last-minute ideas or leaving your feeds to go dark.
Engagement Support
It’s not enough to post—you have to respond. We monitor and reply to comments and direct messages, so your customers feel seen and heard. This builds trust and improves your visibility in algorithms.
Custom Graphics & Templates
Your brand should look polished but not generic. We create branded visuals and easy-to-use templates so your content looks consistent while still feeling personal.
Analytics & Reporting
Every month, you’ll get a clear report showing what’s working and what isn’t. We track reach, engagement, and conversions so you know your investment is paying off.
Optional Add-Ons
Need more? We can set up influencer collaborations, paid social ads, or advanced community management to take your presence even further.

3 Common Social Media Mistakes Small Businesses Make
1. Posting inconsistently
Many businesses post in bursts when they have time, then disappear for weeks. Inconsistent posting confuses the algorithm and your audience. For example, posting three times one week and then nothing for a month makes it harder to gain traction.
2. Copying competitors instead of building a brand voice
Mimicking others makes you blend in instead of stand out. Without a unique tone and style, your posts feel generic. For instance, a local café copying Starbucks’ captions won’t resonate as strongly as using its own personality.
3. Ignoring comments and messages
Engagement is a two-way street. When questions or comments go unanswered, customers feel overlooked. Even something as simple as replying to a question about hours can mean the difference between a sale and a lost opportunity.

FAQ
-
Most clients choose 3–5 posts per week, which is the sweet spot for staying visible without overwhelming your audience. That said, we customize frequency to your industry, goals, and budget. A boutique might thrive on 3 posts a week plus Stories, while a restaurant might benefit from daily specials and updates.
-
Both. We’ll handle strategy, captions, and graphics, but we love weaving in your photos, videos, and customer stories. The mix keeps your content authentic and relatable. We’ll even give you prompts to make it easier to share behind-the-scenes moments we can polish into posts.
-
Yes. Most small businesses focus on Instagram and Facebook, but we also manage LinkedIn, TikTok, and Pinterest depending on where your audience spends time. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the platforms that give you the best ROI instead of spreading you too thin.
-
Yes. Engagement is part of our process, and we’ll work with you to set response guidelines that sound like your brand. We can also flag conversations that require your direct input (like service requests or sensitive customer issues) so nothing gets missed.
-
Paid ads aren’t included in standard management, but they’re available as an add-on. For many small businesses, we recommend building a strong organic base first so your ad spend has a better foundation. When you’re ready, we can run ad campaigns that complement your organic strategy.
-
Organic social media growth takes time, but most clients notice more engagement within the first month. Consistency is key—audience growth and conversions typically build steadily over 3–6 months. By combining strategy, posting, and engagement, we accelerate that growth curve.
