I run a busy salon, and keeping up with marketing was stressing me out. This team stepped in and honestly changed everything. Our socials look better, our bookings have picked up, and new clients keep telling us they found us online.
I've worked with DPOM now for nearly 3 years (PPC and later on Social Media) and I've found them to be easy to work with and very understanding of any concerns I've had.
Lee is very knowledgeable in the field and has been achieving good results with our accounts, making better use of our marketing budgets. Lee is very friendly and personable and able to explain things in ways I understand and always keeps me in the loop of what's happening.

No mystery about what happens next. Here is what we guarantee in writing, then the plan for your first three months.
We start by talking to you about your goals and objectives, and learning as much about your business as possible, with a questionnaire and a detailed discussion with our team. We cover your return goals, what makes your business stand out and how we can maximise your results as your paid social agency.
We then analyse any existing account data and research your competitors to give us a strong foundation. If you are new to paid social, we research the audiences who will respond to you and how they use each platform. Together with your questionnaire, that tells us how to build or fix your campaigns for the best return.
We cannot improve what we cannot measure, so one of the very first steps is to configure conversion tracking correctly. This shows which ads and audiences generate phone calls, emails, forms and, of course, sales. Our in-house technical experts work with you to make sure every conversion is tracked accurately.
Using what we learned in the first stage, we then craft campaigns that encourage people to buy or get in touch, using the campaign types most likely to give the results you expect. We let you know when our initial work is complete and give you the chance to review the new campaigns and give feedback, because working together gives the best results. Once you are happy we go live and start to collect data, and we provide regular reports on progress.
After launch we focus on collecting meaningful data rather than making knee-jerk changes. We monitor audiences, placements, devices and locations to understand how real customers are interacting with your ads. That early data gives us the evidence to make smart decisions instead of guesswork.
Using the first wave of data, we begin initial optimisations: refining audiences, updating ad copy and creative, and adjusting budgets. At this stage we are still in the learning phase, so the goal is to steadily improve efficiency and cut obvious waste, not to achieve perfection overnight. We are transparent: it usually takes a couple of months of testing and optimisation before performance really settles into its stride.
We provide a detailed monthly report and arrange a meeting to walk you through the results and plan the next steps together. We are very transparent: we do not expect campaigns to be highly profitable straight away, and it can often take three or more months of data and refinement before performance really takes off.
Each month we use the previous month’s data to refine your campaigns further: testing new ideas, reallocating budget towards top performers and reacting to seasonal trends. We continue regular review meetings so we can collaborate on the approach, align with your wider business goals and keep pushing results forward.

Straight answer
Social media advertising costs have two parts: what you pay the platform for ad space, and what you pay an agency to run it. Ours is a fixed monthly fee, on this page.
Social media advertising costs UK businesses pay us start at £145 a month on Starter. Our paid social management starts there, with further packages at £295, £445 and £695 a month, and Premium from £1,500. Those are social media advertising rates for our management, a flat monthly fee based on your package and never a percentage of your ad spend. Your ad budget is paid by you to the platform direct, so the cost of social media advertising UK businesses face is simply your budget plus our fixed fee. A one-off £195 set up applies on Starter and Lite and is free on Standard and Elite.
Because no two campaigns are the same, every package is a starting point and your quote confirms the exact figure for your platforms, goals and how competitive your market is. If you are asking how much do social media ads cost per month, start with the budget you want managed: each package is built around the ad budget it manages, shown in the table above.

DPOM manages social media advertising for a fixed monthly fee starting from £145, with further tiers at £295, £445 and £695 depending on the level of work. That fee is never a percentage of your ad spend, and every package is managed by our UK team, with your own account manager from Lite upwards.
No. Our paid social fees are fixed monthly amounts of £145, £295, £445 or £695, so the cost does not rise every time you increase your platform budget. Every package is managed by our UK team, working with small businesses since 2011, with your own account manager from Lite upwards.
Our paid social ads management starts from £145/month for Starter, £295/month for Lite, £445/month for Standard and £695/month for Elite. Those are starting points. Because no two campaigns are the same, every paid social campaign is custom quoted to your platforms, your goals and how competitive your market is. It is always a fixed monthly fee, never a percentage of your ad spend. Tell us what you need and we will tailor a quote in no time.
No, never. Our paid social management is a flat monthly fee based on your package, so your management cost does not climb as your spend grows. Your ad budget is paid to the platform in full, and you always know exactly what you pay us.
No hard minimum. Our Starter package is designed for smaller budgets, and we work with everything from a few hundred pounds a month upwards. We will always be honest about the budget needed to get traction on your chosen platforms.
A one-off setup fee covers the initial groundwork to get your campaigns live, including audience research, tracking and the first creative. It is shown clearly in your custom quote alongside your monthly fee, so there are no surprises. After that you simply pay your fixed monthly fee.
Facebook and Instagram (Meta), LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and X (Twitter). Every package can run on any platform you like, whether that is Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok or X. Each package runs your ads on one platform of your choice and more can be added; higher tiers add a dedicated account manager, A/B creative testing and lookalike audiences as you scale. We will recommend the right mix in your quote.
Starter (from £145/month) is built for smaller budgets, fully managed with monthly reporting. Lite (from £295/month) adds a dedicated account manager and more reach. Standard (from £445/month) is our most popular package, adding advanced targeting, retargeting and priority support. Elite (from £695/month) is our full-service tier for scaling businesses, with two account managers, a senior strategist and director oversight. The full comparison is on this page, and we confirm the right fit in your quote.
Every package includes campaign strategy, audience targeting, ad build, ongoing optimisation, a detailed monthly report and a live client portal, with the work scaling up as you move from Starter to Lite to Standard to Elite. Higher tiers add a dedicated account manager, telephone support and more advanced creative testing, and more platforms can be added to any package. Your exact scope is confirmed in your custom quote.
Yes. We handle ad copy and creative built for each platform, and we test variations to find what performs. If you have brand assets we will use them, and we can produce bespoke graphics where you need them. Higher tiers include more creative testing.
No long-term contracts. Paid social management runs on a simple monthly rolling agreement and you can cancel with 31 days’ notice. We earn your business every month rather than tying you in, and you keep your ad accounts.
Yes. Many clients run both, and they work well together. Google Ads captures people actively searching, while paid social builds demand and brings your brand to new audiences. We can manage the full mix and bundle services so you save across the lot. Just ask for a combined quote.
