Are you a local business owner or manager, trying to get your social media channels to reel in new customers and generate repeat sales? You’re not alone. Even though Facebook and a Google Business Profile are two of the most powerful, accessible tools for local business growth, most business owners simply don’t have the time, energy, and creative resources to harness its full potential. That’s where our done-for-you local marketing campaigns fill the void.
Here’s what the data tells us about Facebook’s and Google’s impact on local business success.
Video Summary
Results at a Glance – The Power of Social Media for Local Business Growth
✔️ 88% of consumers trust recommendations from friends and family on Facebook more than any other source
✔️ 70% of purchases at local businesses can be traced directly back to social media engagement
✔️ Visual content on Facebook generates 2x more engagement than text-only posts
✔️ A Google Business Profile accounts for about 25% of the “social signals” that tell Google where to rank a company in local searches
✔️ Unlike anonymous Google search results, Facebook prioritizes and personalizes search results by how much a person’s friends and connections have engaged with a local business. Those get listed first. In other words, if people aren’t engaging with a brand on Facebook, they won’t show up in search. And for those brands that do engage, their clients’ friends and family will see the brand mentioned—basically it’s social media “word of mouth.”
The Psychology Behind Automated Social Media Content
Briefly, there’s some powerful psychology behind this consumer behavior.
The mere exposure effect is the fact that people come to prefer something when they have regular, repeated exposure to it. When a prospect sees your company, name, tips, or other content, you become the familiar, safe choice.
Cognitive ease is another powerful factor. The human brain is designed to make decisions quickly and easily. It uses sub-conscious shortcuts based on previous experience to avoid having to process everything about every decision. This “laziness” means we prefer things that are familiar and effortless. Repeat exposure of your brand makes you familiar and makes outreach feel like a natural next step.
Local Social Media ROI – Is It Worth It?
The local search statistics above are pretty compelling. But what does this mean to your bottom line? Is it even worth investing money and time in a local social media marketing campaign?
Let’s run some numbers for your business.
The Local Social Media ROI Calculator below figures return on investment (ROI) based on consistent social media posting. It uses a conservative spend of only $97/month to figure the ROI. Conversion data is compiled from Meta’s Business Marketing Research Study of 150,000 businesses. It’s real world data applied to your specific situation. For the full details, check out our data resources and calculator methodology here.
The Real Challenges Local Businesses Face with Social Media Marketing
As you can see from the projected results above, budget is not the main issue with getting good results in social marketing. A few bucks a day is enough to get significant improvement from local social campaigns.
It’s important to note that the social media ROI calculator results above are not guaranteed. They are reasonable, projected estimates based on historical data from other companies. No marketer can promise specific results for any type of campaign. What we can promise is that with our local social media campaigns, you are getting the best of tested and proven methods that we use for ourselves and for others. We promise a structured, sustainable process that requires nearly none of your time and only minimal investment.
A lack of success usually comes down to these common struggles with social media promotion:
- Finding time to create and post engaging content consistently
- Knowing what type of content will actually attract customers
- Maintaining an active presence across multiple social platforms
- Creating professional-looking visual content that represents your brand well
- Keeping up with social media best practices and changes
These challenges aren’t just inconveniences – they directly impact your bottom line. When your social media presence is inconsistent or non-existent:
- Your business becomes less visible in local searches
- Potential customers choose more active competitors
- You miss out on valuable word-of-mouth referrals
- Current customers forget about your business
- Your online reputation stagnates

Compare the Options: Why Local Social Link™ Makes Financial Sense
Let’s look at the three most common options for maintaining an effective social media presence:
Option 1: Do It Yourself (DIY)
Running your own social media campaign requires significant time and resources. Here’s what that typically looks like. Create 2 images per day and manually post on your social channels, about 45 minutes daily (~ 23 hours/month). Plus, the ongoing stress of consistently posting.
23 hours X $31* = $713/monthly
Annual cost year one: $8556
* Average labor cost in the US is $31/hour, which includes wages and overhead costs Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Option 2: Hire a Marketing Agency
A traditional agency provides custom campaigns, but at premium prices: Here’s what that looks like: Initial image and video creation: $2,000 and up. Then, monthly posting management: $200+
Annual cost year one: $4400 or more
Option 3: Local Social Link™
We’ve streamlined the process to give you agency-quality results at prices to fit any budget. Just $97 monthly or $3.19 per day for a professional campaign with branded visual content, daily posting on up to three social channels, and no long-term contracts. (Our minimum term is only 3 months.)

I would recommend using their service, great value for an amazing price.
If I had tried to do this on my own it easily would have taken me 5 times longer and cost me so much more.
Ina Masten, Masten Solutions
I needed to create a video for our company and we started looking for a company to help us with our project, we were lucky to find André and his team, they helped us from beginning to end, we did many changes in the process and they had the patience and the speed to create our video.

FAQs – Local Social Link™ Done-for-You Social Media Campaigns
Once I sign up for Local Social Link™, how long before posts start appearing on my Facebook and other social pages?
It’s pretty fast. Once we get your logo and URL, we’re ready to start posting within 10-14 business days.
How do I order?
Go to the table listing all the niches above. Find your niche in the table and click on it. This will take you to the order page. Simply follow the prompts and enter your details to get started.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, you can cancel any time after your first 3 paid months. Also, if you change your mind in the first 48 hours after placing your order, you can cancel and get a refund. After 48 hours, we will have already begun work on your project, in which case you can cancel after 3 months.
How does billing work?
Once your payments start, you’re billed once a month on the anniversary date of your first payment. All payments are pre-payments for the upcoming month.
Can I get a refund?
You can cancel your order within 48 hours. Just reply to your welcome email with your request. After 48 hours, no refund is available because we will already have begun work on your Local Social Link project. You can however, cancel any time after three months.
Is posting more than once a day too much?
No, it’s not. According to Hubspot and MANY other studies, posting on Facebook at least once a day is necessary. Keep in mind, not everyone is going to see every post. So by posting twice a day, you insure your fans hear from you at least once a day. On other channels such as Google Business Profile and LinkedIn, one post a day is a good frequency.
Equally important as frequency, and perhaps a bit more so, is consistency and quality. Sporadic posting doesn’t do much for your page or your business. Our professional, engaging graphics ensure you are supplying high quality content on a consistent basis.
Is a contract required?
No. You can cancel Local Social Link™ at any time after the first 3 months. We require a 3-month minimum due to the significant work we do on our end to get your campaign created and running on your social media channels.
Also, there will never be any price increase for the service once you begin working with us!
Won’t all my competitors be using these same images?
No, it’s highly unlikely. Here’s why.
For any given population of businesses, only a small percentage will commit to a product. For instance, when selling any kind of product or service, a 1% conversion rate from a cold list is considered great. In other words, if there are 100 similar businesses in your area and we hit every one of them up to the best of our ability, the odds are that we’d only get 1 out of the 100 to become a client.
Speaking from many years of sales experience with thousands of clients, as well as from a statistical viewpoint, it’s practically impossible to saturate any given geographic area.
Also, it doesn’t matter if your competitors use the same images. The fact is, it’s highly unlikely that your clients will be following more than one or two businesses in your niche, especially if they are already your customer. They’ll be following YOU and not your competitors.
However, if you want to put your mind at ease, just ask me on our Contact form if anyone is using LSL in your target area and I’ll let you know. Odds are that you are the first.
Is it safe to share my social media accounts?
Yes, it is safe. We follow all current Facebook and social media channel rules to the letter. And remember, Facebook and social media company pages were designed specifically for teams to work together. You, as the administrator, always control your account and all matters relating to it. We are simply part of your editorial support team.
Can I re-share, re-use or delete the posts once you post them?
Yes. Use and re-use as much as you like. You can also delete any post at any time. And if you don’t want something to re-post, simply ask us to remove it from the list.
Can I still do my own posts in addition to yours?
Yes. You can post anything, any time. The more you engage with your local clients, the better the results.
Can I preview the campaign images before you begin posting?
Yes. You get a chance to preview the images before we begin automatic posting. We’ll remove any images you don’t want to include.
Can you edit the images themselves, the animations (if applicable), or the text on the image?
While it is possible to edit the images themselves, this is not included as part of the basic Local Social Link™ service. If you want further graphic customization, contact us for an estimate.
