Social Media Marketing Services: What’s Actually Worth Paying For
Not all social media marketing services are equal. See what’s worth paying for as a local business owner, what to skip, and what it really costs in India.
The short answer
Social media marketing is the work of planning, producing and publishing content on the platforms your customers already scroll, then replying to the people it brings in. At Leyscale that covers the calendar, the posts themselves, and comment and DM responses, with festival moments and local trends built into the plan rather than bolted on late.
Who it is for: retail, food and beverage, clinics and studios that need a current feed and a reply within hours rather than days. Starter fits a business that needs a consistent presence. Growth adds volume and testing. Premium adds a monthly shoot and full weekday coverage.
How we run it: the calendar goes to you a week ahead, so nothing goes live unseen. Hindi and English captions are standard and Bengali is available on request when your audience calls for it. Comments and DMs are answered in your voice, with anything sensitive escalated rather than answered from a script.
Key takeaway: on Starter and Growth we work with your existing photos and brief your team on what to capture, while Premium includes one shoot a month. Social works hardest when it is fed by Content Marketing and paired with WhatsApp Marketing so an interested follower can actually reach you.

As a social media marketing agency we cover Instagram and Facebook for most clients, with LinkedIn where the audience is B2B. We would rather run two platforms properly than five badly, so the plan names the platforms before anything starts.
Volume rises with the tier rather than being one fixed number for everyone. The calendar you approve each month states exactly how many posts, stories and reels are included.
Paid social sits under PPC Advertising rather than our social media marketing agency service, so budget and management are priced separately from content. Many clients run both, and combo pricing applies.
