Look beyond the post count.
A monthly package may include content planning, interviews, post writing, graphics, approvals, scheduling, comment management and reporting. Eight posts produced from useful information from your business differ from eight generic posts made without knowing the business.
Ask where the boundaries are.
Find out whether the price includes original graphics, reactive content, comment replies, revisions and reporting. Clarify who approves factual claims and how much time the provider needs from you.
Authentic Digital’s pricing
Our corporate-page packages start at £500 per month for Core. Plus starts at £750 and Elite at £1,000. The full comparison is on our pricing page. A website or brand project is quoted separately.
What is the business case?
The value is a credible, consistent record of what your business does, rather than a guaranteed volume of enquiries. Consider whether your buyers are on LinkedIn, whether your team can supply useful material and whether you can sustain the activity internally.
Compare two quotes on the same basis
Our £500 starting price is Authentic Digital’s price, not an industry average. To assess another proposal fairly, write down what each supplier includes and what your team still needs to do.
| Area | Ask the provider | Why it changes the workload |
|---|---|---|
| Information from your business | Do you interview us or expect finished copy? | Gathering a useful story takes time before writing starts. |
| Design | Are graphics original, templated or supplied by us? | A carousel or diagram involves more work than formatting a photograph. |
| Approvals | How are revisions and deadlines handled? | Unclear feedback and late approvals can stall the whole schedule. |
| Comments | Who replies, and what gets escalated? | Publishing and managing conversations are different responsibilities. |
| Reporting | Will you explain changes to the next plan? | A list of numbers is less useful than a decision supported by them. |
Calculate the internal effort before comparing the price
List the hours your team spends gathering material, writing, designing, getting approval, scheduling and reviewing performance. Multiply those hours by your own estimate of their fully loaded hourly cost. This gives a planning comparison; it does not mean all those hours become cash savings when outsourced.
For illustration, 12 hours at an assumed £35 per hour is £420 of internal time. A £500 service still needs input and approval from you. The decision depends on the quality and consistency you gain, as well as the time released. Replace both assumptions with your figures.
Choose a posting schedule you can sustain
A business with two meaningful stories a week may have a stronger starting point at eight posts a month than one filling a sixteen-post schedule with repeated announcements. More volume is useful when there is enough relevant material and a reason to publish it.
Before you commit
Ask for written confirmation of what is included, any VAT, the minimum commitment and notice period, how many changes you can request, what access is needed and which files you keep. These details should be settled before work begins. View our current packages and the working process together.
