Costs vary greatly depending on experience, scope, and location. Freelance social media managers in Cornwall and across the UK typically charge £350–£800 per month for small businesses, with higher-value packages available for larger brands. My management packages start from £400 per month, with tailored options for businesses that need more hands-on support.
