Social media management in Chester
Chester sells to visitors and to residents at the same time, and one feed has to serve both. MarketingDone4U writes, designs and schedules it monthly for hospitality, professional and private practice firms in the city. Fixed from £79. We are forty minutes along the M56, in Wilmslow.
Two audiences, one feed
Chester is unusual because it serves two markets at once and they behave nothing alike.
The first is the visitor market. People research the city before they arrive, checking feeds for places to eat, drink, stay and spend an afternoon around the Rows, the racecourse and the cathedral. They are planning, comparing and deciding on a phone, often days ahead, and they owe loyalty to nobody yet.
The second is the resident and professional market. Around 80,000 people live here, alongside a strong legal, financial and private medical sector, and they choose local services the way everybody does now, with a quick look at who seems established and currently trading. The same account often has to serve both, and content written for one audience quietly bores the other. Getting that balance wrong is the most common reason a Chester feed feels flat despite plenty of effort going into it.

How to split a content plan between visitors and locals
The instinct is to alternate posts and hope. A better approach is to decide the ratio on purpose, then match it to platform.
Work out roughly what share of your revenue comes from visitors and what share from residents, then weight the month accordingly. Visitor content should answer planning questions: what the place is like, where exactly it is, what needs booking, when it is quiet. Resident content should build familiarity: the team, the seasonal changes, the reasons to come back on an ordinary Tuesday in February.
Then separate the two wherever you can. Instagram usually carries the visitor story, because it is visual and gets discovered by strangers. Facebook and the local groups carry the resident relationship. Our Growth plan exists in that two-platform shape for exactly this reason, and Pro adds a third for businesses that also need LinkedIn for corporate or professional work.
Social media packages.
Plans sit at £79, £149 or £299 a month, fixed, with no setup fee and nothing to sign beyond the month you are in. Growth is the one most clients pick, and in Chester that usually means Instagram and Facebook for hospitality and retail, or LinkedIn and Facebook for the city's professional firms. Pro suits venues and practices that want three platforms and campaign support around the busier weeks of the year.

Everything included, on one published price
Our model is simple and we are open about how it works. AI handles drafting and production speed, experienced marketers refine every post for accuracy, tone and brand fit, and the plan you choose is the plan you pay for. Starter is £79, Growth is £149 and Pro is £299, with no setup fee and no minimum term.
What arrives each month is the whole job: content planned, captions written, branded graphics designed, hashtags handled and everything scheduled. Starter is 4 posts on one platform, Growth is 8 across two, and Pro is 12 across three with a monthly content plan, short-form guidance, campaign support and a performance summary. The full comparison is on our social media management service page.

What the first month involves
We start with a short call about your customers, your tone and the subjects you would rather never be raised publicly. That last point matters more in regulated and professional sectors than people expect, and it is easier to agree at the start than to correct later. Then we tidy the profile, agree the platforms and build the first batch of content for your approval.
Nothing publishes without you seeing it. Expect to change a few lines in month one. By month two, approvals usually take minutes. If your accounts were set up by a former employee or a previous agency, we deal with access and ownership during onboarding so the assets end up properly in your name.

Cheshire based, county wide
We run social media for businesses right across the county from our Wilmslow office, and Chester's neighbours sit on the same patch: see Northwich, Warrington and Runcorn, or the county-level Cheshire social media management page. Being a North West business rather than a national provider means the references land correctly and a meeting is a motorway run rather than a video call. Our full coverage is set out on the areas page.

What we will and will not claim
We will not promise follower numbers, viral reach or a volume of bookings, because no honest provider can. Platform algorithms are outside anybody's control and the advertising rules exist precisely to stop that sort of claim. What we will promise is a professional, on-brand month of content, published on time and approved by you, every month you stay with us.

Frequently asked questions
We serve both tourists and locals. How do you handle that?
By splitting the content plan deliberately rather than alternating and hoping. Some posts speak to visitors planning a trip, others to the Chester residents who sustain you the rest of the year. The two-platform and three-platform plans let us weight each audience properly instead of posting for nobody in particular.
Is social media appropriate for a law firm or a private clinic?
Yes, when it is done with restraint. For Chester's professional and private practice sector we focus on credibility: expertise, team, accreditations and genuinely useful answers, usually on LinkedIn and Facebook. There are no gimmicks and every post is approved by you before it appears.
Do you use our own photos or stock images?
Real photography wherever it exists. A quick phone photo of your premises, your plate, your team or your work will nearly always outperform a stock library image. We design branded graphics for the posts that need them and tell you the handful of pictures worth capturing each month.
Can we upgrade or downgrade later?
At any point. Plans are month to month at fixed prices of £79, £149 and £299, so moving between them is a one-line email rather than a renegotiation. Busy season on Pro and quieter months on Growth is a perfectly normal pattern here.
We inherited our accounts from a previous agency. Can you take them on?
Yes, and we sort the access out as part of onboarding rather than treating it as a separate job. We help you recover or transfer admin rights, tidy the profiles and keep whatever was already working. The accounts end up owned by your business, whatever state they arrive in.
