I want complete social accounts that belong to the business

Social Media Setup

Social media setup gives the business complete, consistent profiles with clear ownership and working links.

One business name, consistent handles and a clear profile on every platform you keep. If a page was made by an employee, or an account sits under somebody's personal login, or the handle does not match, that gets sorted first.

This sets them up properly, on the platforms your buyers use. Posting is separate.

The platforms this covers, and who each one is for

f
FacebookA business page, the local audience, and where older buyers still check first
ig
InstagramA business account, connected to the Facebook page so both post from one place
tt
TikTokA business account, where search behaves more like a search engine than a feed
yt
YouTubeA channel, the handle, the about section, the banner and the links
in
LinkedInA company page, for businesses that sell to other businesses
P
PinterestA business account, for anything people plan before they buy
X
XAn account and a handle, mostly held so nobody else takes the name
@
ThreadsAn account tied to Instagram, claimed at the same time
nd
NextdoorA business page, where neighbors recommend and home services get named
r
RedditAn account, for trades where buyers research in public before calling
W
WhatsApp BusinessA business profile, where customers message rather than call
g
Google Business Profile postsPosting on the profile you already own, which is set up separately

You do not need all of them. The list gets cut to where your buyers already are.

  • First platform set up
  • Each additional platform
  • Facebook and Instagram together, connected
  • Shown how to run it yourself

What can post to more than one place at once

Facebook and Instagram can. Once the two accounts are connected, one post goes to both from Meta Business Suite, and messages from both arrive in one inbox. Threads is created from the Instagram account, so it is claimed at the same time.

Nothing else does. TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest and X are separate companies and none of them posts into another. Posting to all of them from one place means a scheduling tool, set up once, which is social media automation and priced on its own.

That covers connecting one tool to as many of your accounts as it supports, writing once and sending everywhere, queueing ahead, and being shown how to run it. Some of those tools draft with AI. Whether you use that part is your call, and you are told what it is doing either way.

Shown how to run it yourself

An add-on to any setup above. All three formats, because people learn differently and staff change:

  • A recorded walkthrough you keep, and can hand to whoever takes over
  • One live session, in person or on a videochat
  • A picture by picture manual, so nobody is trying to remember a video

What it covers:

  • Getting into the dashboard
  • Posting to Facebook and Instagram at the same time
  • Scheduling posts ahead
  • Finding the messages from both in one inbox
  • Reading your own numbers, and which ones mean nothing
  • Adding and removing people, so an employee leaving costs you nothing
How this gets fixed

The service is a social media account setup

This is setup work, done once, across the platforms you keep. Accounts get created or converted to business accounts, ownership is put in your name, and each profile is written and sized for the platform it sits on.

You end up holding every login in one place, with profiles that match each other and point at your website.

Which platforms, and why

  • Which ones you actually need, and which to leave alone
  • Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X, Threads, Snapchat, Nextdoor, Reddit, WhatsApp Business, Google Business Profile posts
  • Unused or duplicate accounts found and listed, so you know what is out there. Getting into one nobody can access, or closing it down, is Social Media Account Cleanup

  • Tell me what is going on The form below. What you have now, and what you want instead.
  • A short call, if it needs one Only where the scope cannot be settled in writing.
  • You get the scope and the price In writing, with what is included and what is not.
  • You approve it Nothing starts before you have agreed the scope and the price.
  • The work happens You are told when something needs a decision from you, and nothing else.
  • Handover What was done, where it lives, and what to do next, written down.

More on how working together works.

What connecting the two accounts gives you, and the two screens you use

Connected, not just both set up. Connecting the two accounts is what lets one post go to both, and it turns on tools Meta only gives connected business accounts.

Two screens, and knowing which is which

  • Meta Business Suite. Where posts are written and scheduled for both platforms at once, where messages from both arrive in one inbox, and where the numbers live
  • Business portfolio. The ownership layer underneath. Who has access, at what level, and what they can be removed from

Being shown how to use them is its own line, so the setup price stays the setup price.

What you keep, and what to do if you want help later

Nothing here depends on me afterwards. You hold every login and the written record, and the accounts keep working if you never speak to me again.

If you would rather not run it yourself, posting and replying is social media management, quoted separately.

A question later is a question, not an invoice. Ask.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Do I need to be on all of them?

Being on all of them is usually the reason none of them look maintained. The list gets cut to where your buyers already are, and the rest are closed or left dormant on purpose.

My Instagram is under my personal account. Is that a problem?

It limits you. A business account gives you the insights, the contact buttons and the connection to a Facebook page, and converting it keeps the posts and followers you already have.

An old employee set up our Facebook page. Can I get it back?

Sometimes directly, sometimes through the platform's recovery process, and sometimes not at all. What is realistic gets said before the work starts rather than after.

What goes in the bio?

Setup includes a clear starting bio that says what you do, where you do it and where to go next. Researching platform search terms and optimizing bios and captions around them belongs to Social Media SEO.

Can Search Console connect social accounts?

Yes. Google currently supports platform properties for eligible Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube accounts. Connecting a supported property is named separately in the written scope, and the current list comes from Google's own Search Console documentation.

Why post at all if I am not going to keep it up?

An empty profile reads as a closed business. A small set of first posts means somebody checking you out sees an account that is alive, and what happens after that is your call.

Who owns the accounts when this is finished?

You do. Every login goes to you in writing, recovery email and phone get checked, and two factor goes on the accounts where losing access would hurt.

I read it and reply with the scope and the price before any work starts.

Pick at least one. More than one is fine.

Answer a few more if you want a more specific first reply

What happens next: I review the links and details, then reply within two business days with the best next step, any one question I still need answered, or a written quote when the scope is already clear.
