Imagine York recognising your name on a feed, then ringing you when the time comes.
Trust built quietly in the background, while you get on with running the business.
Your next hundred customers are scrolling right now, and most have never heard your name. Social media marketing fixes that, turning idle scrolling into messages and enquiries, so yours is the name they already trust when the time comes.
We offer done-for-you social media marketing services in York for businesses that know they should be doing more but haven't got the hours. You send the odd photo; we turn it into a month of content aimed at the people who'll actually walk through your door.
We work with businesses right across York and North Yorkshire, from Acomb, Haxby, Poppleton and out across the YO postcodes.
Social media can drive real enquiries, but only when it feeds into a wider strategy. This client combined social with SEO and web, and the numbers speak for themselves. Real client, real results.
Page two and invisible, to the top result for the terms that bring money in.
Same hundred people searching. Thirty-five of them now reach this client directly.
Ten times the enquiries from search, without spending more on ads.
Start a conversation →The fix isn't more guilt. It's handing it to someone whose actual job is doing it every week, aimed at the York audience that actually converts rather than the one that just likes the photos. Plenty of agencies measure success in followers and likes. We don't, ours is judged on how many enquiries, leads or sales it produces, and what it cost to produce them.
Content and ads built for the phone first, where your audience actually spends its time.
Meta (Facebook and Instagram) is the workhorse for most clients, wide reach, sophisticated targeting, strong performance for both organic and paid.
LinkedIn is the platform for B2B. Pricier on the paid side, but unmatched if you're selling to specific job titles at specific company sizes.
We also run Google Ads (YouTube, Display, Performance Max) and TikTok where they fit the brief. Most small businesses do best with Meta, with LinkedIn layered in for B2B. That's consistent with ONS business data on how most UK small businesses are structured and where they can actually compete for attention.
Social has two halves, and they do different jobs.
Organic content, the regular posts, is mostly about credibility. Someone considering buying from you checks your social: active and professional ticks a mental box; empty or abandoned doesn't.
Paid social is where the direct results live. Tightly targeted ads put your offer in front of exactly the right people, at the right moment, for a fraction of what other channels cost. Most clients run both, weighted toward paid for direct response.
No mystery, no fluff, here's what you actually get when you work with us.
Trades especially often dismiss social until they try it seriously. A roofer, plumber or electrician, most of their customers are on Facebook, respond to before-and-after photos, and can be reached on local ads for a few quid a click.
The mistake most trades make is either treating Facebook like a personal account or ignoring it entirely.
The middle path, steady local content plus modest paid ads targeted at the right postcodes, quietly produces a lot of work. Same logic for cleaners, salons, gyms and restaurants.
The monthly retainer covers the lot: planning the content, creating the posts (copy and graphics), scheduling, running the paid ads, monitoring performance, and a monthly report tying it back to real outcomes.
You don't need to send us posts to upload, write captions, or remember it's Wednesday and you haven't posted.
All you need to do is feed us the odd photo from a job or a quick voice note about something interesting. We'll handle the rest.
Social media management | straight to the point
We want to know what you sell, who buys it, where they spend time online, and what's been tried before. No charge for this bit, no commitment. (UK time-online habits, per Ofcom’s Online Nation report, shift fast, so we check rather than assume.)
Recommended platforms, content plan, sensible ad budget, and a realistic take on returns, laid out clearly with no hidden mark-ups on ad spend.
We set up tracking, build the first round of ads and content, and get everything live. The first paid ads can produce enquiries within the first week or two.
Content, ads, reporting and monthly calls. Weeks four to six are usually when paid social hits stride. Standard one-month notice if you ever want to pause or stop.
Working with Darren has been an absolute pleasure. Professional, creative, and his technical expertise exceeded all expectations. He's changed our website completely and we've had so much feedback and leads since.
By far the best referral I've ever had. Completely hassle free, transformed our website, traffic, rating and emails. Nothing is ever too much, and everything moved so smoothly.
Used Design Lincs for our web design and SEO and couldn't be happier. Done quickly but at an amazing standard. Great service, would absolutely recommend.
From the first call they actually listened to what we wanted, and the finished site looks miles better than before. Quick to respond, fair on price, and sorted a couple of tweaks after launch without any fuss.
They didn't just make it look nicer; they thought about how customers use the site and rebuilt it around that. Brilliant communication throughout, a massive step up.
They built us a new website and took over our digital marketing, and the difference has been night and day. Our calls are up and the whole experience was easy. Highly recommended.

The monthly retainer covers our management work, strategy, content, ads and reporting. The ad spend is separate and goes directly to Meta, LinkedIn or wherever you're advertising. You'll get clear figures for both, with no hidden mark-ups on ad budgets and no surprise fees.
Depends what you sell and who buys it. Most North Yorkshire local businesses do best on Meta. B2B usually needs LinkedIn. Consumer e-commerce often benefits from Meta plus a bit of TikTok. We'll tell you straight which platforms are worth your time and which to skip.
Paid social can produce enquiries within the first week or two of launching, with another four to six weeks of optimisation needed to hit stride. Organic content takes longer to compound, typically three to six months, before it meaningfully shifts how people perceive your brand.
Yes, copy, graphics, scheduling, the lot. You'll need to feed us the odd photo or update from your business so the content sounds genuine, but the heavy lifting is on us.
Different jobs. PPC catches people actively searching for what you sell. SEO does the same thing organically over the long term. Social reaches people before they're searching, building awareness, trust and demand. The strongest strategies use all three together.
A quick message or a phone call, no obligation and no hard sell. We'll come back with a straight answer on whether we can help and what it would cost.
