How much does social media management cost in Saudi Arabia?

A monthly price is useful only when you know what is being delivered. One quote may cover design and scheduling from your existing photos; another may include filming, editing and daily customer support. Before comparing fees, put both offers into the same scope table. Biaway's published social-management package is 400 SAR/month, with up to 12 posts across up to two platforms using the client's existing materials. That is Biaway's offer, not a claim about the average Saudi market price.

Compare the deliverables before the headline price
Ask what counts as one post. A carousel, a static image, a resized platform version and a video can require different work. Write down the agreed formats and whether adapting the same idea for a second platform counts within the quoted total. Do not interpret “12 posts, two platforms” as 24 original pieces unless the quotation explicitly says so.
Use these questions for every offer:
The point is to uncover mismatched scopes, not to prove that a more expensive offer is automatically better. Choose the work your business can supply materials for and use consistently.

What the published Biaway package covers
Biaway's 400 SAR monthly scope includes planning, content creation, scheduling and publishing from available client assets. The catalogue allows up to 12 posts, with Arabic and English captions and hashtags where needed, on up to two platforms. It also describes basic comment/message monitoring, identifying important enquiries and suggesting basic replies.
That monitoring is not a promise of a full-time customer-service team or a guaranteed response time. A business selling a technical service still needs someone who can answer scope, availability and quotation questions. Agree who owns that handover before publishing more frequently.
New location photography, a filming day or a daily original video schedule should be discussed separately. If the current material is weak or outdated, first identify what can be reused honestly and what needs to be produced. An attractive calendar cannot correct inaccurate product information.

A sample 12-post planning worksheet
This is an illustrative allocation, not a promised content mix or a client result. Adapt it to your offer and available materials, and agree how it maps to the selected platforms.
This totals 12 post ideas across the agreed plan. “Show genuine work” does not mean inventing a testimonial or presenting a stock image as a completed project. If you do not have permission to show a client's work, use an accurately labelled demonstration or explain your process instead.
Scroll the table sideways to read every column.
| Purpose | Illustrative posts | Material needed |
|---|---|---|
| Explain the service | 4 | Accurate service details and common buyer questions |
| Show genuine work | 3 | Approved project photographs, screenshots or product images |
| Answer objections | 3 | Clear answers on scope, preparation and next steps |
| Invite a relevant enquiry | 2 | A current offer and a working contact destination |

Add advertising as a separate decision
Regular social publishing and advertising have different budgets. Biaway's advertising-management fee is 400 SAR/month, with the money spent on Google or Meta separate. Choosing both social management and advertising management therefore gives an 800 SAR monthly service-fee subtotal before any platform spending or additional work. You do not have to buy both to start.
Define the next action first: read a service page, request a quotation or contact the business. Make sure the destination and the person handling enquiries are ready. The number of posts or advertising clicks does not guarantee enquiries or sales.

Review what happened without confusing activity and results
Keep a simple review sheet: planned posts, published posts, material delayed, enquiries needing follow-up and the next content decision. If website measurement is available with appropriate consent, record visits and completed enquiry events separately. A tap on a contact button is not the same as a qualified enquiry, and a qualified enquiry is not a confirmed sale.
Compare the evidence with the objective you chose at the beginning. For a new company, a complete, accurate service explanation may be a necessary first step. For a company already receiving questions, answering recurring objections may be more useful than adding another generic motivational post.

Your questions.
01Is 400 SAR a Saudi market average?
No. It is Biaway's published monthly service price; scopes across providers differ.
02Does the package include 12 posts on each platform?
Do not assume that. It covers up to 12 posts across up to two platforms; agree the counting and adaptations in the brief.
03Can I ask for Arabic and English content?
The catalogue includes Arabic and English captions and hashtags where needed. Agree which posts, visual text and adaptations require each language.
04Is ad spending included?
No. Advertising management and the platform budget are separate from social-content management.
