Social media that fits your business – not the other way round

For most companies social media is not a sales channel but a trust channel: people check whether you really exist, how you work and who is behind it. We build a presence you can still keep up in a busy week – better one channel that is alive than four left to go stale.

  • One channel properly, not four halfway
  • Advertising disclosure under Austrian law
  • No bought followers
  • The content belongs to you

At a glance

The short answer first

Four facts about social media management – with no promises about reach.

What it is good for

Trust

People check there whether a company is active, reachable and credible. Direct sales are the exception for most small businesses, not the rule.

How many channels

Usually one

The one your customers already use. A well-kept channel works better than four that have stood still for months.

Effort

Consistency

What matters is not volume but a reliable rhythm. We set it together so it holds in stressful weeks too.

Cost

Based on scope

The effort depends on channels, publishing rhythm and responsibilities. After a shared initial review, you receive a clearly scoped fixed price.

For search engines and AI assistants in one sentence: Social media management means selecting a company's channels strategically, publishing suitable content on a reliable rhythm, replying to responses and measuring the effect in a comprehensible way – for most small and medium enterprises it pays off in visibility and trust rather than in direct sales.

What we actually take on

Six building blocks. You do not have to book them all – but the first two are the precondition for everything else.

Choosing a channel, not scattering

We look at where your customers actually are and where your content stands a chance. Sometimes the answer is: one channel is enough – and one should be closed.

Presence and profile

Profile picture, description, links, highlights – the basics that decide whether someone stays after the first glance. Often skipped, and quickly done.

Content with substance

Posts from your working day rather than quote tiles: projects, people, explanations. If we photograph or design for you, the material is being produced in-house anyway.

Community and replies

Answering comments and messages, awkward ones included. This is the part that builds the most trust and is the first to be left undone.

Advertising where it pays

Paid reach used deliberately for individual occasions rather than as a permanent state – clearly disclosed and without wastage into the wrong regions.

Reporting without varnish

We report what actually happened, even when it was little. Follower counts are the least important figure in that report.

Decision aid

Do it yourself or hand it over?

Both work – but not equally well for every business. The honest comparison, before you commit.

Criterion In-house With an agency
Closeness to events You are where the stories happen – unbeatable We need material from you, otherwise it turns generic
Reliability Experience says it stops in the first busy week The rhythm holds because it is scheduled and paid for
Response time Immediate, whenever someone looks Agreed – usually within one working day
Design Varies with the day Consistent, because templates and visual language exist
Legal side Disclosure and image rights remain your risk We handle disclosure and clear the rights
Cost Your working time – usually underestimated A predictable monthly amount
The honest answer: If someone in your team enjoys it and is given the time, do it yourselves – nobody knows your working day better. We would rather help you set it up and supply templates than bill you monthly. Handing it over pays off when the channel would otherwise simply be left alone.

How we work

Four stages to a running operation.

1 Step 1

Taking stock

What already exists, what works, what has been abandoned? We look at your channels plus three to five comparable businesses – not to copy them, but to judge what is customary in your field.

2 Step 2

Settling channel and rhythm

Together we decide which channel stays and how often it is used. Better a realistic rhythm we keep than an ambitious one we break after eight weeks.

3 Step 3

Setting up

Completing the profile, establishing visual language and templates, producing the first posts, clarifying responsibilities and reply routes. From here the channel is presentable.

4 Step 4

Running it

Editorial plan, production, publishing, replies. Plus a short report at an agreed interval – with what genuinely happened.

Honestly: Organic reach has become harder on every major platform over the years; anyone starting today without an advertising budget grows slowly. So we promise no follower numbers. What we do promise: a presence that convinces someone who is already looking for you – and that is more people than the reach statistics suggest.

Advertising has to be recognisable

Passing paid content off as editorial is unfair competition in Austria – regardless of whether it happens on a website or in a social network. The Austrian Act against Unfair Competition expressly lists disguised advertising among the practices that are unfair in all circumstances. For paid publications in periodical media the Media Act additionally requires a label reading “Anzeige”, “entgeltliche Einschaltung” or “Werbung”.

In practice: collaborations, product placements and boosted posts are labelled – visibly, not hidden among thirty hashtags. We set that up from the outset, because correcting it afterwards is considerably more uncomfortable.

Frequently asked questions about social media

Which channel is right for my business?
The one your customers already use – and the one you can keep up. The question cannot be answered in general terms, but it can be narrowed down well: businesses with visible results belong on image-led channels. Businesses selling explanation-heavy services to other businesses rarely find anyone there.
More important than the choice of platform is an honest estimate of how much time realistically remains. A channel that is alive beats four that have stood still for six months.
How often do you have to post?
Often enough that the channel does not look abandoned – the rhythm matters more than the volume. There is no demonstrable minimum frequency that applies across all sectors. Anyone quoting you one has guessed it.
So we set the rhythm according to your capacity and then keep it. One post every two weeks that arrives reliably looks more serious than three in one week followed by two months of silence.
Does paid advertising have to be disclosed?
Yes. Disguised advertising is among the practices that are unfair in all circumstances in Austria. The annex to the Austrian Act against Unfair Competition says so explicitly: editorial content paid for to promote sales, without that being recognisable, is unfair. For paid publications in periodical media the Media Act additionally requires a label reading “Anzeige”, “entgeltliche Einschaltung” or “Werbung”.
The label belongs at the beginning and in the language of the post – not at the end of a row of hashtags.

Does social media help search visibility?
Not directly – links from social networks are not a ranking factor. The connection is indirect: someone who notices you through a post may later search for your name, link to you from their own site or mention you – and that does have an effect.
Immediately, social media pays off elsewhere: your profile often appears in the search results for your own company name. A well-kept presence occupies a place there that someone else would otherwise take.
Should we buy followers to get started faster?
No. Bought followers do not react and worsen how often real people see you. Platforms assess how many of the people reached actually respond. An account with many silent followers does worse in that calculation than a small one with a lively community.
Then there is the trust problem: a number that does not match the visible activity is spotted immediately by professionals and attentive customers alike.
Who owns the content you create for us?
You do – the agreed usage rights and the source files pass to you. Whatever we photograph, design and write for you comes to you together with the agreed usage rights. Even if the collaboration ends, your channel stays yours and the content remains usable.
The details are set out on our usage rights page – read it before a project starts, not afterwards.
