Quoting social media management at a fixed price
A social media quote should list platforms, posts per month, community management hours, whether ad spend is included and the cancellation notice period.
The quote turns 6 hours of labour into a fixed $210.00; if the job runs over, the social media management business absorbs the extra time, so quote hours you are confident about.
The biggest single commitment is "Social media management, 2 platforms" at $900.00 (41% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.
What is fixed in this quote
- Services: Social media management, 2 platforms, On-site content shoot and Short-form video edits and 2 more, fixed at $1,575.00.
- Fees: Ad spend, billed at cost and Scheduling tool seat, fixed at $425.00.
- Labour: Community management, fixed at $210.00.
- Anything outside "One month of content and community management for a restaurant on two platforms, with a small paid campaign" needs a new quote or a signed variation.
The acceptance block
A quote becomes an agreement when the customer accepts it; leave room at the bottom of quote QUO-2431 for:
- The accepted price, $2,210.00, and the quote number
- Customer name (Sam Patel in the sample), signature and date
- When payment is due: Retainer due on the 1st of each month
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Social Media Manager pricing tips
- Keep ad spend off your management fee and on its own pass-through line, ideally charged straight to the client's card, so nobody wonders whether your fee includes the media budget.
- Write the number of posts actually published per platform next to the retainer line, letting the owner check delivery against what the contract promised.
- Bill on-site content shoots separately from management, because driving out for two hours of food photos is different work from scheduling posts at a desk.
- State the hours you cover replies, such as weekdays nine to five, and bill weekend or crisis coverage at an agreed higher rate.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a social media manager quote?
List exactly what is included (8 lines for one month of content and community management for a restaurant on two platforms, with a small paid campaign in the sample), give one fixed price ($2,210.00), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a social media manager quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a social media manager quote ask for a deposit?
The first month is usually paid upfront, with a 30-day cancellation notice.
