Audit and research

We review your current profiles, posting frequency and timing, engagement by post type, audience fit by platform and what local competitors are doing, then pick the platforms worth your time.

Strategy and brand voice

A written strategy and voice guide for your audience, so every post sounds like your business whether we write it or your team does.

Content calendar

We break your services, offers and stories into shareable posts, then schedule them around San Diego seasons, events and your sales cycle.

Community management

Managed clients get monitoring and responses to comments and messages, with response time tracked as part of the audit.

Paid social and contests

Facebook and Instagram campaigns and platform-compliant contests and sweepstakes. See Facebook advertising.

Account security

Managed packages include team access management and account security, so a former employee never holds the keys to your brand.

Reporting that matters

Reports focus on business metrics such as profile clicks, website visits, leads and sales, alongside reach and engagement.

Common questions

What San Diego businesses ask about social

Tap or hover a card to see our answer.

Platforms

Do I need to be on every platform?

No. Two well-run platforms beat six neglected ones. The audit shows where your customers and competitors actually are.

SEO

Does social media help SEO?

Indirectly. Social posts are not a ranking factor, but they spread content that earns links, brand searches and reviews, which do help.

Organic or paid

Organic posts or paid ads?

Most businesses need both. Organic builds trust with people who already know you; paid social reaches new San Diego audiences and feeds remarketing.

Results

How do you measure success?

Website visits, leads and sales from social, tracked in GA4 with tagged links, plus reach, engagement and follower quality.

Reputation

Can you help with reviews and complaints?

Yes. Managed clients get monitoring and responses, and we coordinate with online reputation management when a problem needs more.

Getting started

What do you need from us?

Admin access to your profiles, your brand assets and a short call about your offers. The audit and strategy come next.

San Diego social media marketing FAQ

Straight answers for San Diego businesses comparing social media agencies.

What social media platforms does SEO Inc. manage?

Seven: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Pinterest and Google Business Profile. We recommend only the platforms that fit your customers after an audit.

What is the difference between consulting and managed social media?

Both include an audit and a strategy with brand voice. With consulting, your team publishes and engages using our guidance. With managed service, SEO Inc. builds and runs the content calendar, publishing, community engagement and ongoing reports.

What does your social media audit check?

Eight areas: profile completeness and branding, posting frequency and timing, engagement by post type, audience fit by platform, competitor activity, brand voice consistency, response time to comments, and account access and security.

Does social media marketing improve Google rankings?

Not directly. Google has said social signals are not a ranking factor, but social content earns brand searches, links and reviews that support SEO. Google Business Profile posts and reviews do affect local visibility in Google Maps.

How do you measure social media results?

We tag links with UTM parameters and track visits, leads and sales from social in Google Analytics 4, then report them next to reach, engagement and follower growth.

How competitive is social media marketing in San Diego?

Semrush shows about 390 U.S. searches a month for “social media marketing agency san diego” at an average of $12.96 per click (October 2026), so local businesses have many agencies to choose from.

Do you run paid social ads too?

Yes. We manage Facebook and Instagram advertising and remarketing alongside organic social and paid search, and we run platform-compliant contests and sweepstakes.
