How much does social media marketing cost in Louisville?
About $300 to $1,500 a month for managed profiles for most Louisville local businesses, plus ad spend if you run Facebook or Instagram ads.
Social media marketing in Louisville typically costs about $300 to $1,500 a month for a local business to have its profiles managed, depending on posts per week and how many platforms, plus ad spend if you also run Facebook or Instagram ads. Freelancers often charge less for posting alone; agencies charge more when the work includes video, ads and replies. For a contractor, the posts that matter are finished jobs and five-star reviews, which is how Slate Marketing LLC runs social media for Louisville businesses.

What is worth paying for
- Weekly posts of finished work, with the service and the Louisville neighborhood named.
- Five-star reviews turned into posts with a photo of the job.
- Google Business Profile posts, since that is the profile most local customers see first.
- Same-day replies to comments and messages.
What is not: follower counts, giveaways and daily posts with nothing to show. For a local service business, social media is proof that you do good work and answer the phone.

If you're unhappy, we're unhappy
Our clients come first. Both founders, Jack Moutardier and Daxton Noe, work on every account and answer the phone, so a problem goes straight to the people who can fix it.
A real guarantee, not a ranking promise
Nobody honest can guarantee rankings, and the Map Pack rotates. We guarantee you will be satisfied with the work, or we keep working until you are, and where your review history supports it we put a Map Pack guarantee in writing.
