How much budget do I need to spend on my social media ads per month to get results?

The amount of budget you spend on your social media ads per month can have a direct impact on the amount of engagement, leads, traffic and conversions you receive.

There is no set amount of budget that will guarantee success, but here's an idea of how much you will need based on average daily spend (per platform):

Facebook:

  • A good amount to plan for per day is R100.
  • For optimal results, you will need to budget for an average of R100 per day.
  • If you want your ads to run throughout the month, you will need to set aside around R2500 - R4000 per month (depending on the type of ads you are running).

LinkedIn:

  • LinkedIn's ads are pricier than all the other platforms.
  • A good amount to plan for per day is R150-300.
  • For optimal results, you will need to budget for an average of R250 per day.
  • If you want your ads to run throughout the month, you will need to set aside around R5000 - R8000 per month (depending on the type of ads you are running).

Twitter:

  • A good amount to plan for per day is R50 - R100.
  • For optimal results, you will need to budget for an average of R100 per day.
  • If you want your ads to run throughout the month, you will need to set aside around R2000 - R3000 per month (depending on the type of ads you are running).
What is the difference between page posts and ads?

Page posts are the content pieces we create that will be posted onto your social media platforms for your followers to see. These posts will only gain organic reach; meaning that they can only be seen by page followers or the friends of those followers if/when they share your posts.

Ads are the paid advertisements that are shown to a selected group(s) of people - this is done by 'paying' the social platform to make sure your ideal audience sees and engages with your content.
