Social media and website together: combined plan costs

Key takeaways

Social media and website bundle cost is usually the website project plus a monthly social media retainer, typically £950–£2,500 for most UK SMEs. Bundles rarely cut the total much; the gain is one partner joining social posts to pages that convert. Keep the contracts separable.

• Most UK SMEs pay £950–£2,500 a month for the social media part.
• The website is usually a separate project fee.
• The main gain is joined-up messaging and tracking, not a big discount.
• Make sure you can end one service without ending the other.

What is a social media and website bundle?

A social media and website bundle is when one partner builds or maintains your website and runs your social media under linked agreements. Social posts send people to pages built to turn visits into enquiries, and both share the same brand, offers and tracking.

How is a combined plan priced?

Most combined plans price the website as a project and social media as a monthly retainer, typically £950–£2,500 for most UK SMEs. Some add website maintenance monthly. Discounts for bundling are usually modest, so judge the bundle on fit rather than price. These are indicative figures, not a GBL price list.

• Website: a project fee, or monthly maintenance.
• Social media: a monthly retainer.
• Shared tracking and landing pages: the real benefit.
• Bundle discount: usually modest.

What do you gain from one partner?

One partner can build landing pages for campaigns, set up tracking once across website and social, keep offers consistent and fix problems without two suppliers blaming each other. That matters most when social media is meant to bring enquiries to the website.

• Specialist social media agency vs full-service agency costs

What are the risks of bundling?

The main risk is being locked in: if one service disappoints, ending it may affect the other. Hosting, domain and accounts held by the supplier make leaving harder. Keep your domain, hosting access and social accounts in your business's name.

When should you keep the services separate?

Keep them separate when you already have a good website or a strong social media supplier, or when one service needs specialist skills the bundle provider lacks. Two good specialists sharing a simple brief often beat one average provider doing both.

What does this look like in practice?

Global Bridge Labs (GBL) offers website design and development and social media marketing as separate services that work together. A pattern we see is that clients who run both with us get campaign landing pages and tracking set up once, while keeping the freedom to change either service.
