Done for you social media means someone else produces and publishes your posts, and your part shrinks to reading and approving. In Canada the phrase covers everything from a freelancer with a Canva account to a full agency. This post says what a real service has to include, what should stay yours, and how to compare offers on one call.
The five parts a service must cover
- Voice. One conversation that settles how you sound, the words you use, the claims you never make. Without it every post reads like every other business in your city.
- Drafting. A month of posts per platform, written from your website, your services and your customers' questions, in that voice.
- Design. Photo posts with real people and your headline on the image, carousels in your colours, captions on video. Templates are fine; stock clip art is not your brand.
- Scheduling. Posts spread over the month at the hours your audience is on, in your time zone.
- Publishing. Approved posts sent from your own accounts through the platforms' official tools, on schedule, without you at the keyboard.
What stays yours
- The accounts. The posts should go out from your Instagram, your LinkedIn page, your X account. If a service publishes from something it controls, your audience is theirs.
- The approval. Read the month before it posts. At Ampliqa that is one sitting: approve, edit a line, skip a post.
- Replies to customers and Reddit. Drafts can be written for you; the sending should be yours, with your name on it.
Questions for the first call
- Which platforms, and how many finished posts on each, per month?
- Can I see a sample month made for my business before I pay?
- Where do the photos and videos come from, and will people in them look like my customers?
- How do I approve, and can I edit a post myself?
- What is the notice period, and do I keep everything if I stop?
