Frequently Asked Questions

Social media doesn’t directly “rank” your website in Google, but it can support your SEO in a few important ways. Consistent posting helps more people discover your business, click through to your website, and search for your brand by name, all of which can strengthen your online visibility over time. It also helps your content travel further, so your blogs, services and offers get more eyes on them. For local businesses in Hastings and 1066 Country, it’s a strong supporting channel alongside an SEO Booster strategy.

We build your content around your goals and audience, then create a mix that keeps your page active and useful. This typically includes:

  • On-brand static posts (announcements, tips, promotions, FAQs)

  • Carousels (educational content, step-by-steps, “how it works”, myth-busting)

  • Short-form video (Instagram Reels/TikTok style content, simple and scroll-stopping)

  • Local trust builders (testimonials, case studies, behind-the-brand content)

  • Lead-focused content (clear calls to action that encourage enquiries)

Everything is planned using content pillars, so your feed stays consistent, relevant and designed to turn attention into enquiries.

Yes. We can run your social media end-to-end, including strategy, content planning, content creation, captions, scheduling and reporting. Depending on your package, we can also support light community management (replying to messages/comments in a timely, on-brand way) and help you keep your profiles polished and up to date.

We’re not a generic “post a few graphics each month” service. We’re a local team based at the Innovation Centre in St Leonards-on-Sea, and we build social media around what actually moves the needle: clarity, consistency and campaigns that support your wider marketing.

Here’s what clients tend to value most:

  • Local insight into Hastings, Bexhill, Eastbourne, Rye and Battle audiences

  • Joined-up marketing (social that plugs into your website, SEO, ads and email if needed)

  • On-brand creative from designers and marketers working together

  • Structured planning (content pillars + calendars, not random posting)

  • Clear review points so your social improves month on month

We don’t currently offer social media training as a core service. Our focus is on done-for-you social media management and content creation, so you get consistency without needing to take it all on in-house. That said, we’re always happy to share practical guidance during your check-ins, and we can tailor a plan that works if you’re posting internally and just need support with strategy and content.

Yes — we’re based in St Leonards-on-Sea and work with businesses across Hastings and 1066 Country, including Bexhill, Eastbourne, Rye and Battle. We can meet locally at the Innovation Centre, or keep things simple with a quick discovery call and virtual check-ins.

If you’d like to get started, book a short intro call and we’ll recommend the best next step based on your goals and capacity.
