What each service includes, and what it costs

The prices below come from agency guides and providers' own pricing pages. They're published by firms selling these services, so read them as rough markers.

Content strategy

Strategy decides who posts, which themes each person owns, which buyer questions to answer and how often to publish. It should fit in a short document you'll actually reread. Revisit it every quarter as you learn which topics buyers respond to.

Founder and executive ghostwriting

A writer interviews the person, drafts posts in their voice and revises until they approve. For most B2B teams this is the core service. Some providers publish their own rates: Executive Presence lists $2,500 a month per executive for one post a week and $4,000 for two, and Stop The Scroll lists its one-profile plan from $2,950 a month, a fully managed plan that also covers design, engagement and reporting.

Employee programs

An employee program extends posting beyond leadership to sales, product, engineering or customer success. Some programs only coordinate employees to share existing material; others write original posts for each person. One guide puts the first kind at roughly $2,000–$5,000 a month and original content for five to ten employees at $5,000–$15,000 (Influent). Wait until at least one leader is posting steadily, because a team program without a lead voice tends to scatter.

Company page management

Page management keeps your company page current with product news, hiring posts, event updates and reshares of your people's best posts. It matters as a credibility check and as the base for ads. Buyers tend to engage with people more than logos, though, so it shouldn't be the biggest line in your budget.

Video clips

Short captioned clips cut from interviews, webinars, talks or recorded calls. Good for people who explain things well out loud. Influent's guide prices video at roughly $300–$1,500 per finished piece. Stop The Scroll prices it differently, as a monthly add-on starting at $1,950, so compare what each gets you in a month rather than the headline numbers.

Carousels and graphics

A designer turns ideas with steps, comparisons or numbers into document posts, diagrams and simple charts. Design support runs roughly $1,000–$4,000 a month when it isn't part of a retainer, according to Influent's guide. Plenty of good posts are plain text, so buy design for the ideas that need it.

Comment engagement

This covers replies to comments on your posts, plus useful comments left on posts by buyers and peers. Conversations often start in the comments, which is why this matters. Ask who writes them: replies should be written by people and sound like the author. One agency guide prices comment replies and DM drafts at $300–$600 a month as an add-on (Creator).

Prospect signals

Someone watches who engages with your team's posts, and with competitors' posts, and tells your sales team when a target account shows interest. It adds little work if someone is already watching the comments, and it's wasted if nobody on your side follows up.

LinkedIn ads

Paid promotion of posts or offers to a targeted audience. Ads tend to do more when they amplify organic posts that already land with buyers. Stop The Scroll lists ads management starting at $2,950 a month plus ad spend. Hold off until you have organic posts worth paying to promote.

Outbound messaging

Connection requests and DMs sent to prospects, usually aimed at booking meetings. It's closer to a sales service than a content one. Windmill Growth, for example, lists a LinkedIn Outbound plan at $999 a month that includes "personalized outreach that books meetings." Skip it if you'd rather prospects hear directly from your reps. If you do buy it, ask each leader before their profile is used for outreach.

How to decide what to buy first

1. Pick the people. Decide who buyers most want to hear from. Often that's the founder or CEO plus one leader close to the product or the customer.
2. Buy strategy and ghostwriting for them. Get these working before you add anything else.
3. Add engagement and prospect signals once posts are going out, so conversations get answered and sales hears about interest.
4. Add formats such as video or carousels when a specific idea calls for them, not because a package includes a set number.
5. Add people through an employee program once the first voices are steady.
6. Treat ads and outbound as separate decisions, each with its own budget and its own measure of success.
