Frequently Asked Questions
What content should we put paid support behind?
Our content selection framework helps you identify high-performing organic content with growth potential, strategic content that supports business objectives, and specialized content targeting specific audience segments.
How much budget should we allocate to paid social?
Our budget framework helps you start with 20-30% of your total marketing budget for initial testing, adjusting based on performance data rather than committing to large spends immediately.
Will paid social hurt our organic engagement?
Our integration approach ensures paid efforts support rather than replace organic strategy, typically resulting in overall growth as paid content introduces your brand to new audiences who then engage organically.
How do we measure if paid social is working?
Our measurement system helps you track platform-specific metrics while focusing on cross-channel goals like audience growth, engagement depth, and conversion actions rather than just reach or impression metrics.
